We are looking for a Platform Engineering Manager to join our dynamic and growing Platform Engineering team.
About the Role: We are seeking a Platform Engineering Manager to build and operate our AI-native Internal Developer Platform (IDP)-the foundational layer that powers engineering velocity across the organization. You will own multi-cloudinfrastructure (AWS & Azure), define golden paths, drive cloud modernization aligned to Well-ArchitectedFrameworks, and deliver the observability, shared services, and agentic infrastructure that give every team aproduction-ready foundation. A defining dimension of this role is partnering with peer engineering leaders to activelymigrate teams onto the platform and positioning it as the organization's AI-first engineering foundation.
Key Responsibilities:Platform Strategy & Architecture
Own and execute thePlatformroadmap: compute, networking, identity, observability, shared services, and AI/MLtooling across AWS and Azure
Lead cloud modernization against the AWS and Azure Well-Architected Frameworks across all five pillars:operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization
Define golden paths-standardized self-service workflows for service scaffolding, DB provisioning, environmentspin-up, and AI workload deployment-with escape hatches for edge cases
Own multi-cloud strategy; ensure consistent IAM, networking, and FinOps governance across providers IaC & CI/CD Automation
DriveOpenTofu/Ansibleas source of truth for all infrastructure; enforce GitOps and policy-as-code for governance,auditability, and security
Build and mature CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) to maximize deployment frequency, reduce lead time,and enable zero-ticket self-service provisioning Observability
Own org-wide observability: metrics, logs, traces, and alerting–extended to AI/LLM signals (token usage, modellatency, inference cost, agent task completion rates)
Operate a centralized observability platform (Datadog/Signoz, OpenTelemetry, Grafana/Prometheus/Loki, orequivalent) delivered via golden paths; define SLIs/SLOs as onboarding defaults for all services
Ensure full-stack coverage across infrastructure, Kubernetes, APM, distributed tracing, AI pipelines, and costanomaly detection Shared Services
Build and operate a self-service shared services catalog: secrets management, API gateways,model registries, andLLM gateways
Rationalize duplicative per-team infrastructure; maintain shared services to production SLA standards with clearownership and consistent security controls AI Platform & Agentic Infrastructure
Own GPU/accelerated compute, model serving, vector databases, RAG pipelines, and LLM API gatewaymanagement (AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic)
Build AI golden paths for self-service model deployment and LLM integration; design agentic infrastructure includingorchestration runtimes, tool registries, memory/state services, and human-in-the-loop workflows
Establish governance, cost controls, prompt injection guardrails, and model access policies for AI API usage andinference spend
Partner with data science and ML engineering to translate agentic workflow requirements into reusable platformprimitives Platform Adoption & Team Migration
Collaborate onmigration program: partner with peer managers to plan and execute structured workload migrationsonto the platform with hands-on support-not just documentation
Define onboarding playbooks covering golden paths, shared services, observability setup, CI/CD cutover, and AIcapability onboarding; track and report adoption metrics to leadership
Identify and remove migration blockers-technical gaps, missing services, or organizational friction—and feedthem into the platform roadmap Developer Experience, Leadership & Culture
Build a self-service developer portal (Backstage, GitHubor equivalent) with service catalogs, golden paths, andAI/agentic workflow templates; track DORA metrics and developer experience KPIs
Hire, develop, and retain high-performing platform engineers; build AI fluency across the team and foster a platform-as-a-product culture with feedback loops, OKRs, and iterative roadmapping
Lead architecture reviews; make pragmatic build-vs-buy decisions; partner with security and compliance ongovernance priorities Security, Compliance & FinOps
Embed secure-by-default guardrails: IaC scanning, RBAC, secrets management, container hardening, and AI-specificcontrols (prompt injection defense, model access governance, data residency)
Own cloud cost optimization across AWS and Azure including AI inference spend; maintain SOC 2/ISO 27001compliance posture About You:Required
8+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering; 2+ years in engineering management
Cloud: Deep hands-on AWS and Azure expertise: multi-cloud architecture, IAM, networking, compute, and AI/MLservices (SageMaker, Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Azure ML)
IaC & CI/CD: Terraform required; GitOps, policy-as-code; GitHub Actions / ArgoCD at scale
DP: Proven track record building an IDP with self-service workflows, golden paths, and developer portal (Backstage,GitHub, or equivalent)
Observability: OpenTelemetry, Datadog,Signoz,or Prometheus/Grafana at scale; SLI/SLO definition andenforcement
Shared Services: Built and operated multi-team shared service catalogs with production-grade SLAs
Adoption: Led structured platform migration and adoption programs in partnership with peer engineering leaders
Kubernetes & WAF: Kubernetes cluster management, Helm, RBAC, service mesh; AWS and Azure Well-ArchitectedFramework reviews
Strong cross-functional influencing skills; comfortable as a peer to engineering managers and product leaders Nice to Have
