Director of Platform Engineering leading developer experience initiatives in a financial marketing platform. Shaping the engineering organization’s practices towards AI-native software development.

- Own and evolve the developer experience across all product engineering teams: tooling standards, AI harness integration, deployment pipelines, and governance model.
- Define and enforce platform engineering standards that enable engineering teams to ship faster and at a higher quality bar.
- Drive adoption of AI-native SDLC practices across the organization, partnering with engineering managers to measure and improve development velocity.
- Build and lead the Platform Engineering team, including a Senior Platform Engineer and SRE/DevOps Lead.
- Develop engineering talent and establish the culture of the platform function — reliability, craftsmanship, automation-first thinking.

Requirements:
- 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 5 years in platform engineering, DevOps, or SRE leadership roles.
- Demonstrated experience building or scaling a platform engineering function — from establishing standards through growing a team.
- Strong command of cloud infrastructure (AWS primary, GCP secondary), CI/CD pipelines, and modern deployment practices.
- Hands-on experience with observability tooling (DataDog, CloudWatch, PagerDuty, or equivalent).
- Experience leading and developing engineering teams — hiring, mentoring, and setting technical direction.
