- Design opinionated "golden paths" that make the easiest way also the best way for engineers to build, test, deploy, and operate software
- Build intelligent CI/CD platforms that reduce deployment time, improve release confidence, and automate testing, security, and compliance
- Improve developer workflows by investing in local development environments, faster build systems, ephemeral environments, and platform automation
- Continuously measure and improve developer productivity through platform metrics, engineering insights, and workflow optimization
- Collaborate with application teams to simplify software delivery, improve reliability, and remove operational toil through automation
- Build platform capabilities that improve scalability, resiliency, observability, and operational excellence across the engineering organization
- Champion Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, and platform engineering best practices
- Experiment with emerging technologies, AI-assisted development, and developer tooling
You'll partner closely with software engineers to understand friction in the development lifecycle and translate pain points into scalable platform capabilities. The Platform Engineering team treats the internal platform as a product, with developer productivity as the north star metric.
