Lead Platform Engineer

Technical Delivery and Oversight

You'll own a defined portion of the technical scope — designing the architecture, doing the work, and leading your team through it. That looks like:

Architecting Platform solutions within your workstream — designing the approach, documenting tradeoffs, articulating it clearly to clients, and leading your team through implementation

Building, configuring, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines end-to-end — designing the strategy, choosing the toolchain, and evolving it as the client's delivery maturity grows

Writing and managing infrastructure as code — Terraform or CloudFormation — including module design, state management, and drift

Designing, writing, and managing AI Agents and AI tooling at scale or an organization as part of expanding platform capabilities

Building and deploying cloud-native platform environments — whether that's Kubernetes, managed container services, or other orchestration platforms depending on client environment — getting teams to a place where they can run and operate workloads in production confidently

Building and implementing observability — metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting that actually tells you something useful when things go wrong

Building developer platform tooling, automation, and self-service infrastructure that makes engineering teams faster and less dependent on manual work

Integrating AI tooling into Platform workflows and delivery pipelines where it makes the most impact

Making day-to-day architecture decisions within your scope and escalating the right ones to the account lead or architect when they have broader implications

Identifying technical risk early and surfacing it clearly before it becomes a delivery problem

Generating ideas, failing fast, and demonstrating with POCs

Team and People

Lead a small team of engineers — organizing work, breaking down tasks, pairing on hard problems, and keeping the team moving

Uplift engineers through code review, pairing, and day-to-day technical mentorship

Mentor junior team members through 1:1s, feedback, and guiding technical growth

Stakeholder Communication

Serve as a technical point of contact for your scope — representing the work clearly to client engineers and project stakeholders

Keep account leaders and architects up to date on concerns, blockers, and changes

Adapt quickly to change and shift focus as required to meet customer needs

Provide feedback on team performance and areas for growth
