Responsibilities
Lead the Platform Transformation: Drive the strategic shift from "Ticket-Ops" to an Application Program Interface (API)-first, self-service reality, modernizing legacy systems and defining clear sunsetting paths for deprecated infrastructure
Define and deliver a unified platform roadmap that treats internal developers as customers, using feedback loops and user research to build tools they want to use
Architect and maintain "paved roads", highly automated, opinionated workflows that simplify the journey from code to production while maintaining security and compliance
Own the environment lifecycle across multiple CSPs (AWS, Azure, GCP), driving the adoption of GitOps, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), and declarative automation
Deliver a centralized Developer Portal (e.g., Backstage) to provide a "single pane of glass" for Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), documentation, and cloud resources
Lead engineering teams in implementing Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices, utilizing error budgets and blame-free post-mortems to balance velocity with stability
Integrate security (Static Application Security Testing/Dynamic Application Security Testing (SAST/DAST)) and compliance guardrails directly into automation so that the secure way is always the easiest way for developers
Foster a culture of contribution where engineers across Boeing can contribute to the platform’s codebase, breaking down silos and accelerating innovation
Measure performance through DORA metrics (Deployment Frequency, Lead Time, Meant Time To Recover (MTTR)) and Developer Net Promoter Score (NPS) to ensure the platform is increasing enterprise velocity
