About The Role
We’re looking for a Head of Platform Engineering to lead our most foundational infrastructure teams — the technical backbone that powers everything we build.

• Proven ability to inspire, hire, coach, and retain senior engineering talent.
• Skilled at scaling teams during periods of rapid growth and ambiguity.

• Technical Track Record
• Deep experience in cloud infrastructure at scale
• Expertise in modern infrastructure architecture — microservices, event-driven systems, container orchestration, and observability best practices.
• Familiarity with GCP is a plus, but not required.
• Clear point of view on on-call processes, escalation hygiene, and balancing reliability with developer velocity.

• Leadership
• Operates well in ambiguous, fast-changing environments
• Strong instincts around balancing long-term platform investments with short-term product demands.
• Partners effectively with product, research, security, and GTM to align infrastructure priorities with business goals.
• Known for clear thinking, strong execution, and building alignment through trust and communication.
  

Employee Benefits
