Responsibilities
Own the internal platform as a product, with clear accountability for usability, reliability, security, and adoption across engineering teams
Design, build, and operate a hybrid application platform spanning cloud-native (Azure, AWS, GCP) and on‑prem environments
Deliver self-service capabilities for developers, including standardized templates, golden paths, and automated environment provisioning
Build and operate CI/CD platforms that support cloud-native, containerized, and on‑prem workloads with minimal friction for product teams
Develop and maintain platform building blocks (IaC modules, base images, container platforms, shared services) that enable consistent deployments
Embed security, compliance, and reliability by default into the platform using secure configurations, policy-as-code, and automated controls
Implement and evolve container and orchestration platforms (managed Kubernetes, self-managed Kubernetes, OpenShift, or equivalent) across hybrid environments
Provide unified observability (logging, metrics, tracing, alerting) as a platform service for both cloud and on‑prem workloads
Define and enforce platform standards while enabling flexibility through well-documented extension points
Act as a hands-on contributor: writing code, Terraform, pipeline definitions, automation scripts, and operational tooling
Partner closely with application teams to gather feedback, understand difficulties, and continuously improve platform capabilities
Participate in resolving incidents for services and drive root cause analysis and preventive improvements
Ensure platform capabilities align with BD policies, software quality standards, and regulatory requirements through automated, auditable mechanisms
Qualification
Required
Strong Proficiency in at least one programming language such as C#, GO with strong automation skills in TypeScript, PowerShell, or Python

Proven background in designing and managing internal developer platforms as a product rather than ad hoc infrastructure
Strong hands-on expertise with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and on‑prem/private cloud environments
Experience designing self-service platforms, developer workflows, and CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)
Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code and configuration management (Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm)
Strong background in platform security by default, including IAM, secrets management, encryption, network segmentation, and policy-as-code
Experience building and operating container platforms (Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker) in both cloud and on‑prem environments
Hands-on experience with observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK, DataDog) and turning telemetry into actionable insights
Strong fixing and operational skills across distributed systems, CI/CD pipelines, and hybrid infrastructure
Familiarity with regulated environments (e.g., NIST, HIPAA, FDA guidance) and implementing compliance as code
Product approach: ability to prioritize features, balance standardization vs. flexibility, and measure success through adoption and the happiness of developers
Experience supporting healthcare, medical devices, or other regulated platforms is a plus
BS/BA in computer science, engineering, or relevant field
Proven experience of 10+ years of building enterprise-quality software products
