About the Role
The Company is seeking a Managing Director to lead its software and platform engineering functions. The role oversees application development, software architecture, production releases, platform engineering, site reliability, cloud infrastructure, and observability. The successful candidate will set architectural standards, strengthen internal developer platforms, and improve automation, deployment efficiency, release quality, and production reliability. They will also make key technical decisions, contribute to code reviews, grow engineering leadership teams, and align technical priorities with executive and product stakeholders. Candidates should bring senior software engineering leadership experience with direct accountability for production applications, a strong record of leading sizable engineering organizations, and deep expertise in platform engineering, Kubernetes, and cloud-native systems. Strong Python skills and current code-level credibility are required, along with knowledge of distributed-system architecture, SRE, observability, Infrastructure-as-Code, and CI/CD. The role also calls for experience improving engineering processes, release quality, and developer productivity, as well as strong organizational leadership and executive communication skills. Experience with AI-assisted development, hybrid or private-cloud modernization, additional programming languages, or policy-as-code is an advantage.
