• A track record of building platform capabilities with clear outcomes in developer velocity, reliability, and/or quality.
• Solid experience in one or more of the following and working knowledge of the rest:
• CI/CD systems and reusable pipeline components (e.g., GitHub Actions or similar).
• Kubernetes, Helm, GitOps (e.g., ArgoCD), and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform).
• AI for engineering: prompt design, multi-agent orchestration, safety/guardrails, and integrating LLMs into code and review workflows.
• Proficiency in at least two languages used for platform work (e.g., Python, TypeScript/Node.js, Bash); comfortable moving across stacks to ship end-to-end solutions.
• Strong security and reliability instincts (secrets, least privilege, dependency hygiene, runtime hardening).
• Communicates effectively, clearly, and concisely in written and verbal form on both technical and non-technical subjects, tailored to the audience – from docs and service manuals to guides that accelerate adoption across the team.
• Actively listens to others and ensures they are understood.
• Experience building agentic developer assistants that can review code, propose changes, and safely automate routine tasks.
• CDN and edge controls for maintenance and incident response.
• Platform observability improvements (logging/metrics/traces) and performance baselining.
• gRPC service enablement and runtime configuration patterns.
• Exposure to commercial LLM providers (e.g., Anthropic) and safe rollout patterns in enterprise settings.
