Director, Platform Engineering – Accelerate the SaaS transformation behind one of the world’s leading media platforms
Do you thrive at the intersection of organizational leadership, platform engineering, and SaaS transformation? Are you motivated by building teams and shared capabilities that enable other engineers to move faster, operate with greater autonomy, and deliver at scale?
At Stibo DX, we are looking for an experienced Director of Platform Engineering to lead a strategically important engineering domain and drive our transition toward SaaS.
The role
As Director of Platform Engineering, you will lead three global teams responsible for Cloud Platform, Print Platform, and Content Delivery. Together, these teams provide shared platform foundations, deployment capabilities, gateway infrastructure, APIs, and supporting services used across the Cue media enterprise platform.
Your primary mission is to accelerate the SaaS transformation. You will develop the domain into a coherent platform-engineering organization that provides standardized, reusable, and self-service capabilities, enabling application teams to deploy and operate their services without the Platform Engineering organization becoming a central delivery bottleneck.
A central part of the role is to establish clear organizational boundaries between Platform Engineering, application teams, SRE, and Operations. You will help shape a model in which Platform Engineering provides the shared foundation and developer enablement, while application teams remain accountable for the behavior, reliability, and operational outcomes of the services they build.
You will also lead the organization through this transition. Stibo DX is building toward a SaaS-first future while continuing to support self-hosted and hybrid customers. The role therefore requires someone who can balance the target state with pragmatic migration paths, preserving customer value while steadily reducing complexity and fragmentation.
Reporting directly to the CTO and serving both as a member of the Development Leadership Team and the company-wide Senior Leadership Team, you will lead a domain of 14 people and contribute to the continued development of both your domain and the wider engineering organization. The role can be based at any of our Stibo DX offices in Aarhus, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Oslo, or Málaga.
Key responsibilities
You will lead and develop a distributed engineering organization while creating the structure, capabilities, and momentum required to scale Stibo DX’s SaaS transformation. The role combines organizational leadership, platform strategy, developer enablement, and operational discipline, and requires close collaboration with Product Management, Architecture, SRE, Operations, and other engineering leaders.
