Who You Are:

You'll lead Platform Engineering — the team that owns the shared infrastructure services underneath every Digital Infrastructure engagement, and the forward-deployed engineers who embed with tier-1 clients. You'll set the technical direction for both tracks, develop the engineers on the team, and run the operational machinery that keeps the team and its engagements moving.

This is a player-coach role at the leadership end of the spectrum. You'll spend most of your time on people, strategy, operations, and execution — but you should be the kind of engineering leader who still reads the architecture diagrams carefully, pushes back on the right design decisions, and can hold a technical conversation with senior engineers at tier-1 clients.

You'll report directly to the Head of Engineering, Platform and Edge, who directs which engagements the team takes on and shapes the partnerships at the top. Your job is to make those engagements land.
