- Ensure architectural decisions preserve portability across GCP, Azure, and other cloud providers.
- Own the technical direction of the platform, mentor senior engineers, and partner with product and engineering leadership to ship high-quality systems quickly.
- Manage a team of 10–15 developers — setting goals, running 1:1s, growing careers, hiring, and removing blockers.
- Balance roadmap delivery with engineering health: code quality, system reliability, on-call hygiene, and developer experience.
What we're looking for:
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years leading engineering teams.
- Deep expertise architecting distributed systems on AWS (compute, networking, data, IAM, observability).
- Strong Node.js background and a clear point of view on building maintainable services at scale.
- Experience designing platform-agnostic systems that can run on any major hyperscaler.
- Track record of improving performance, scalability, and deployment velocity in production environments.
- Proven ability to grow engineers, hire well, and run a team that ships consistently.
Nice to have:
- Experience with multi-cloud or cloud-portable deployments (Kubernetes, Terraform, containerization).
- Background scaling SaaS platforms or developer-facing products.
- AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Professional, DevOps Engineer).
