liatrio - Lead Platform Engineer
Requirements
• Engineering and Infrastructure • You can own a CI/CD pipeline end-to-end — designing the strategy, building it, and evolving it as the client's delivery maturity grows • You've written and managed production IaC at scale — Terraform or CloudFormation — including module design, remote state, and managing infrastructure drift in a live enterprise environment • You've built and deployed cloud-native platform environments in real production settings — whether that's Kubernetes, managed container services, or other orchestration platforms — and helped engineering teams get to a place where they can run and operate their workloads confidently • You've made real architecture decisions — designed systems under constraints, documented tradeoffs, and been accountable for what happened when those decisions met production • You've built meaningful observability for real systems — you know the difference between metrics that tell a story and dashboards nobody looks at, and you can set up alerting that pages on the right things • You've built platform tooling and developer infrastructure — self-service tooling, automation, or internal infrastructure that made engineering teams faster and less dependent on manual ops work • You've worked deeply across at least one major cloud provider and have enough breadth across others to be productive quickly in a new environment • You can hold the technical bar for a small team — reviewing code, catching architecture problems early, and helping engineers grow through the process • AI and Intelligent Systems • You've integrated AI capabilities into real delivery workflows — whether that's AI-assisted pipeline troubleshooting, intelligent automation, or tooling that makes your team faster — and you can describe what worked and what didn't • You use AI coding tools like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf as a daily driver and actively help your team get value from them • You're familiar enough with LLM capabilities to make smart decisions about where to apply them in a Platform context • 7+ years of hands-on Platform engineering experience, with some demonstrated technical leadership • Must be authorized to work in the United States or Canada without sponsorship • Travel: 25-50% depending on client needs and remote work otherwise • Base Salary: 140,000-170,000 plus 10% bonus • Full benefits including unlimited PTO, funded HSA option, 401k match, monthly LiveWell stipend, and quarterly company bonus (10% Annually)
Responsibilities
• Technical Delivery and Oversight • You'll own a defined portion of the technical scope — designing the architecture, doing the work, and leading your team through it. That looks like: • Architecting Platform solutions within your workstream — designing the approach, documenting tradeoffs, articulating it clearly to clients, and leading your team through implementation • Building, configuring, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines end-to-end — designing the strategy, choosing the toolchain, and evolving it as the client's delivery maturity grows • Writing and managing infrastructure as code — Terraform or CloudFormation — including module design, state management, and drift • Designing, writing, and managing AI Agents and AI tooling at scale or an organization as part of expanding platform capabilities • Building and deploying cloud-native platform environments — whether that's Kubernetes, managed container services, or other orchestration platforms depending on client environment — getting teams to a place where they can run and operate workloads in production confidently • Building and implementing observability — metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting that actually tells you something useful when things go wrong • Building developer platform tooling, automation, and self-service infrastructure that makes engineering teams faster and less dependent on manual work • Integrating AI tooling into Platform workflows and delivery pipelines where it makes the most impact • Making day-to-day architecture decisions within your scope and escalating the right ones to the account lead or architect when they have broader implications • Identifying technical risk early and surfacing it clearly before it becomes a delivery problem • Generating ideas, failing fast, and demonstrating with POCs • Team and People • Lead a small team of engineers — organizing work, breaking down tasks, pairing on hard problems, and keeping the team moving • Uplift engineers through code review, pairing, and day-to-day technical mentorship • Mentor junior team members through 1:1s, feedback, and guiding technical growth • Stakeholder Communication • Serve as a technical point of contact for your scope — representing the work clearly to client engineers and project stakeholders • Keep account leaders and architects up to date on concerns, blockers, and changes • Adapt quickly to change and shift focus as required to meet customer needs • Provide feedback on team performance and areas for growth • Team and People
