1. Stakeholder & Cross-Team Collaboration

• Partner with engineering, DevOps, security, and compliance teams to align on platform architecture.
• Work closely with Engineering teams to ensure platform adoption and usability.
• Communicate product updates, risks, and delivery timelines to leadership and key stakeholders.

1. Performance Optimization & Reliability

• Define and track key platform metrics (uptime, API response times, security incidents, adoption rates, etc.).
• Work with SRE and DevOps teams to improve platform reliability, scalability, and cost optimization.
• Continuously evaluate technical debt, security vulnerabilities, and performance bottlenecks.

Must-Have:

• 5+ years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, cloud security, or SaaS products.
• Proven experience driving end-to-end delivery of technical products.
• Excellent written and verbal communications skills
• Experience leading Agile delivery, backlog management, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and translate technical concepts into clear product requirements.
• Strong analytical skills and data-driven decision-making capabilities.

Nice-to-Have:

• Strong understanding of Kubernetes, container orchestration, IAM protocols (OAuth, OIDC, SAML, LDAP), and cloud security best practices.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes clusters (EKS, AKS, GKE), Helm, Terraform, or cloud infrastructure.
• Experience with developer platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code (IaC).
• Background in software engineering, SRE, or DevOps is a plus.

Why Join Us?

• Lead high-impact engineering products that shape infrastructure and security.
