Responsibilities
- Lead, grow, and support a distributed squad of platform engineers, with team members based in Berlin and Poland, owning hiring, development, and performance for the team
- Build and maintain an engineering roadmap spanning one to two quarters, and make explicit trade-offs between features, timelines, and quality
- Drive our core platform commitments: expanding into a highly available platform with failover between pre-provisioned clusters, increasing adoption of our container platform and multi-region deployments, and reducing infrastructure cost through networking and compute optimisation
- Own the squad's operational metrics and be accountable for moving them
- Facilitate and role-model postmortems, and drive the follow-through on action items
- Manage relationships with key infrastructure vendors and work with Security on audit and compliance requirements
- Partner with the Observability, Release Engineering, and Security squads, where our roadmaps are tightly coupled and dependencies run in both directions
- Foster an inclusive and open working environment, and create the kind of documentation and knowledge sharing that makes the team less dependent on any single person
Requirements
- Experience managing a team of engineers, including hiring, performance management, and career development
- Experience leading a team that is split across more than one location, and the habits that make that work
- A strong technical background in cloud infrastructure, with hands-on experience of Kubernetes and at least one major cloud platform
- Familiarity with the surrounding ecosystem: service mesh, API gateways, infrastructure as code, GitOps-style deployment, and secrets management
- The ability to contribute technically when needed, whether that means reviewing code, pairing on a problem, or helping debug an incident
- Experience owning production systems with meaningful availability targets, including incident response and on-call practices
- Judgement about when a decision is reversible and when it is not, and a willingness to front-load design effort on the ones that are not
- Strong stakeholder management, and the ability to say no to a loud request that is not on the roadmap
- Clear written communication and strong asynchronous collaboration skills
