Job Description
This is a Senior Director-level leadership role with enterprise-wide accountability for platform standards, developer experience, and engineering productivity. Beyond product ownership, you will lead a team and guide cross-functional execution, influencing senior stakeholders, and advocating for the adoption of SDLC, CI/CD, and Cloud Native standards across the organization.
Operating with a product mindset, you will partner with Infrastructure, Security, Developer Experience, and AI teams to establish standards that become the preferred path for engineering teams globally. Rather than operating tools directly, you will define what good is, increase adoption, and measure outcomes through data and continuous improvement.
You will report to Head of DevEx & AI Tooling
