Description

  • Lead and support the Platform team while building a culture of collaboration, technical excellence, and psychological safety.
  • Partner with Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and Engineering Leadership to define priorities, plan work, and align the team.
  • Drive delivery of platform improvements that increase scalability, reliability, and security.
  • Run regular 1:1s and support engineers’ growth, motivation, and career development.

  • Strong Platform or SRE background with experience maintaining large-scale applications.
  • Familiarity with Rails, Ruby, Postgres, AWS containerised environments, and Terraform.
