Full description
Build the platform every engineering team depends on and shape how Performativ scales through reliability, resilience, and world-class developer experience.
As our Hands-On Lead Cloud Engineer, you will lead Mission Control, our Platform Engineering and Reliability team. Mission Control creates secure, self-service platform capabilities that enable product teams to build, deploy, and operate services independently. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you'll spend the majority of your time building production infrastructure and platform capabilities, leading through technical contribution rather than process.
What you’ll do 📈
- Lead Mission Control while remaining deeply hands-on across cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, and reliability.
- Build and evolve the default, secure-by-default platform that enables product teams to build, deploy, and operate services independently.
- Create reusable AWS CDK constructs, infrastructure standards, and golden paths that reduce complexity and improve the developer experience across engineering.
- Set the technical direction for Mission Control, making pragmatic decisions about platform evolution, reliability, and developer experience while helping the team execute.
- Strengthen our reliability practices through SLOs, error budgets, runbooks, incident tooling, and post-incident improvements that drive meaningful change.
- Treat cloud cost as a first-class engineering concern by improving visibility, eliminating waste, and designing systems that scale efficiently.
- Partner closely with our security specialists to build secure-by-default platform capabilities and continuously strengthen our security posture.
- Own the evolution of the engineering platform that enables every product team to build, deploy, and operate services independently.
- Provide technical leadership, coaching, and feedback to a small team of experienced platform engineers while remaining deeply involved in delivery.
