This role balancesindividual technical contribution, platform‑oriented engineering leadership, and people managementwithin a large‑scale, enterprise platform environment.

Key Responsibilities

Application & Platform Engineering Enablement

• Design, develop, andmaintaincloud‑enabled applications and shared platform capabilitiesusingJava and Python, aligned to modern software engineering and cloud‑native best practices.

• Contribute to the evolution ofplatform engineering capabilitiesthat abstract infrastructure complexity and enable consistent application onboarding and consumption.

• Partner with platform engineering, architecture, and security teams to ensure applications and platform capabilities meet standards for reliability, security, performance, and cost efficiency.

• Build solutions that emphasizereusability, standardization, and self‑service, enabling application teams to move faster with reduced operational overhead.

Cloud & Infrastructure Automation

• Build andmaintainplatform and application automationusing•Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools for provisioning cloud resources,Automation tools for configuration management and deployment, and related Infrastructure‑as‑Code (IaC) and configuration management tools.

• Collaborate closely with cloud and platform engineering teams to enable standardized, repeatable provisioning and lifecycle management ofplatform capabilities and application infrastructure.

• Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines to improve developer experience, deployment consistency, and operational resilience.

Technical Leadership

• Serve as a technical authority within the Cloud Modernization and Platform Engineering ecosystem, helping define engineering standards, patterns, and best practices.

• Lead design and code reviews, ensuring platform and application solutions are scalable, supportable, and aligned with long‑term platform strategy.

• Influence technical direction across application and platform domains, balancing near‑term delivery with long‑term capability development.

People Leadership

• Manage and develop a team of application and platform‑oriented engineers through coaching, mentorship, and regular feedback.

• Support hiring, onboarding, performance management, and career development for engineers on the team.

• Foster a culture of strong engineering ownership, platform thinking, and continuous improvement.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with product managers, platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, security, and operations teams to deliver end‑to‑end platform capabilities and application solutions.

• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

• Influence cloud modernization and platform capability roadmaps through strong technical insight and leadership.
