You have a history of establishing operational best practices and sharing knowledge across teams to elevate the engineering culture. You thrive in cross-functional environments, partnering with Product and Engineering Operations to ensure the platform directly supports business objectives. * You demonstrate product-minded technical judgment: You excel at translating ambiguous business requirements into executable technical roadmaps, balancing the need for rapid iteration with long-term platform sustainability and developer experience. You make build-vs-buy and prioritization decisions that balance rapid iteration with long-term platform sustainability in a fast-evolving AI landscape Pluses * You treat Platform as a Product: You have deep expertise in building Internal Developer Portals or platform experiences.
