Description
In this position, you will lead the technical vision, architecture, and roadmap for Developer Experience platforms, including developer portals, CI/CD pipelines, container-based developer and runtime environments, API platforms, and observability, reliability, and operational tooling.
As a Sr Director, Developer Experience and Platform Engineering, you will be responsible for applying deep hands-on engineering experience to guide platform strategy and architectural decisions, maintaining strong technical fluency across languages, tooling, and system design, building developer platforms and workflows engineers trust and adopt, and using data, KPIs, and developer feedback to guide continuous improvement.
You will partner closely with product, platform, and PDOs to align DevX platforms and tooling with delivery priorities, roadmaps, and outcomes, work with PDOs to ensure Developer Experience investments support predictable delivery and execution at scale, reduce friction across planning, build, test, and release phases, and align technical capabilities with business and portfolio priorities.
You will also embed Developer Experience into incident management and postmortems, reliability and SRE practices, secure software supply chain initiatives, and change and release management, ensuring DevX platforms and tooling are secure and resilient by default, observable and operated with production rigor, and drive a culture of automation, self-service, and continuous engineering improvement.
Key qualifications include 15+ years of experience in software engineering, significant hands-on development, system design, and production operations experience, direct involvement in building and operating complex, distributed systems, demonstrated ability to apply prior engineering experience to platform architecture, code delivery, and technical strategy, and deep expertise in Google Cloud Platform, container-based platforms, CI/CD systems, polyglot software architectures, and modern application frameworks.
