Your impact? Helping millions take back control of their online security, privacy, and data.

Platform Strategy & Vision: Define and drive the internal platform strategy aligned with company-wide engineering goals; identify high-leverage opportunities to reduce friction and improve developer productivity; balance standardization vs. flexibility to create reusable building blocks without slowing teams down;

Developer Experience (DevEx): Own and improve the end-to-end developer journey from local dev to production; reduce cognitive load through self-service infrastructure, golden paths and clear abstractions; leverage and integrate AI-driven tools to improve developer productivity, debugging and operational workflows.

People Leadership: Lead and grow a team of SREs, fostering a culture of ownership, learning and psychological safety.

Reliability Strategy: Drive the strategy for improving the availability, performance and efficiency of services.

Cross-Team Enablement: Partner closely with SRE, Procurement and Product teams to understand pain points and priorities; act as a force multiplier enabling teams rather than becoming a bottleneck.

Operational Excellence: Embed SRE principles into platform solutions (SLOs, error budgets, observability by default); continuously reduce operational toil across engineering teams;

Incident Management: Oversee response and follow-up of major incidents, ensuring robust root cause analysis and corrective actions;

Mentorship & Growth: Foster an environment where engineers are challenged, supported, and provided opportunities to grow in their careers.

Experience: 3+ years of engineering management experience, ideally leading SRE, platform, or infrastructure teams;

Platform Thinking: Strong understanding of platform engineering concepts (self-service, paved roads, internal products); experience building tools or platforms used by other engineers.

Technical Depth: Solid background in distributed systems and infrastructure; hands-on experience with modern infrastructure stacks (cloud, containers, CI/CD, observability); ability to engage deeply in technical discussions and guide architectural decisions.

Operational Excellence: Deep familiarity with SRE concepts such as SLIs/SLOs, observability, incident response and chaos engineering.

Execution & Collaboration: Proven ability to drive cross-team initiatives in complex environments; strong written and verbal communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders; ability to balance long-term platform investments with short-term impact;

Team Development: Demonstrated success in hiring, developing, and retaining strong engineering talent;

Process-Driven: Experience establishing and improving engineering processes.
