Platform Engineering Lead

This is a remote position.

We are seeking a high-ownership, execution-oriented Platform Engineering Lead to drive enterprise integration strategy, design scalable standard patterns, and connect SaaS platforms with critical enterprise systems. Operating with a true "platform mindset"—focusing on reusable architecture over one-off deliveries—you will bridge the gap between business divisions and technical implementation.

The ideal candidate brings strong hands-on experience in API governance and solution architecture, paired with the stakeholder management skills required to navigate a complex, fast-paced matrix environment and bring order to ambiguity.

Key Responsibilities

• Platform Standardization & Governance: Define, document, and drive the enterprise-wide adoption of standardized integration patterns, API governance frameworks, and data flow architectures across multiple delivery teams.
  

• SaaS & Enterprise Integration: Architect and manage robust integrations between core SaaS platforms and enterprise ecosystem layers (identity management, data pipelines, and downstream business consumers), emphasizing high reliability and security.
  

• Business Translation & Fast Execution: Partner directly with business divisions to understand commercial needs, rapidly translating business requirements into pragmatic technical integration designs and accelerated implementation paths.
  

• Cross-Functional Stakeholder Leadership: Interface effectively across a matrixed organizational structure, aligning technical strategies with business priorities and serving as a key liaison between business leads and engineering teams.
  

• Reliability & Scalability: Establish operational guidelines for API performance, error handling, retry mechanisms, and system resilience across all platform data flows.
