Lead Platform Engineer
Are you the person people go to when the "unsolvable" happens? Our client is looking for a Lead Platform Engineer to join their elite engineering leadership team. This isn't just about managing clusters; it’s about being the technical heartbeat of their most ambitious projects and shaping the way they build, deliver, and scale at a global level.
In this position, you aren’t just a cog in the machine. As a Principal SME, you will be the bridge between complex architectural vision and high quality execution. You’ll have the autonomy to assess new tech, the authority to steer stakeholders, and the platform to mentor the next generation of engineering talent. The Technical Core: This is a role for a true expert. You’ll be driving innovation across a modern stack, including:- AWS: Architecting and scaling robust cloud environments.
- Kubernetes: Orchestrating complex, high availability container strategies.
- Terraform: Defining Infrastructure as Code at an enterprise scale.
What you’ll be doing:
- Technical Mastery: Serving as the go to expert for core technologies, ensuring the AWS and K8s environments hit the highest gold standards.
- Strategic Influence: Anticipating technical hurdles before they exist and presenting clear, simple solutions to non technical stakeholders.
- Scaling Knowledge: Leading peer learning groups, delivering training, and driving recruitment efforts to bring in more top-tier talent.
- High-Impact Delivery: Supporting the sales process and leveraging a massive partner network to solve complex problems with innovative Terraform tooling.
The "You" they are looking for:
- You’re a Platform Engineering expert who understands the "why" behind the architecture, not just the "how."
- You can navigate complex systems and find underlying patterns that others miss.
- You’re a Leader by example, you know how to delegate, how to support an opinion with logic, and when to adapt to a better idea.
- You’re a Problem Hunter, you identify risks early, own the resolution, and keep the ship moving forward.
