Responsibilities

As a member of the team, you will be expected to:

• Define and lead the technical strategy for DevOps across the organization
• Manage, mentor, and grow a high-performing DevOps team - setting clear goals, supporting development, and removing roadblocks
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to identify bottlenecks and deliver impactful solutions that enhance developer efficiency
• Oversee the DevOps budget - ensuring resources are allocated wisely and generate tangible value
• Drive improvements in system resilience, observability, and performance across all environments

As a Platform Team Lead, your responsibilities will include:

• Owning the roadmap and evolution of internal platforms and engineering tools
• Taking a hands-on approach when needed - from incident resolution and architecture design to CI/CD improvements
• Proactively identifying and eliminating friction in the software delivery process
• Providing clarity and structure in navigating complex technical or organizational challenges
• Balancing scalability with cost-efficiency and long-term sustainability
• Acting as a trusted technical advisor in cross-functional initiatives and architectural decisions

In your first month, you might:

• Define service level objectives (SLOs) for several mission-critical processes to establish performance and reliability baselines
• Spot quick-win opportunities to streamline deployments and reduce developer pain points
• Conduct an audit of cloud infrastructure spend and suggest areas for cost optimization
• Begin tracking and analyzing key DORA metrics - such as deployment frequency, lead time, mean time to recovery, and change failure rate

Within the first 6 months, you should:

• Develop and communicate a clear, strategic vision for the DevOps function
• Take end-to-end ownership of the DevOps stack - including infrastructure, tooling, and security
• Implement foundational changes to improve the developer experience and accelerate delivery
• Align engineering teams around shared standards and best practices
• Evolve the team’s structure and workflows to support both scale and innovation
• Establish the Platform team as a reliable, strategic partner across the organization
