Lead Platform Engineer

About Liatrio
At Liatrio, we dont just ship software, we enable real transformation.

We help large enterprises break free from legacy systems and truly enable AI across their organizations. We design and deliver secure, scalable, agentic AI-native platforms that reshape how teams build, deliver, and thrive at scale.

We live this every day by embedding deeply with clients to drive meaningful AI enablement — accelerating modernization, reducing risk, and creating lasting competitive advantage through production-grade AI systems. We use tools like Claude, Cursor, and Codex daily to move faster and deliver better outcomes.

If youre a technical leader who leads with AI and drives lasting change, this is where you belong.

About the Role
Were looking for a Lead Platform Engineer who owns a portion of the technical scope on a workstream, architects the solutions within it, and leads a small team of engineers to deliver against it.

You work closely under the guidance of an account lead or architect — youre not setting the overall engagement strategy, but you are designing the solutions, making the day-to-day architecture calls, and being accountable for the technical quality of what your team ships.

Youre in the pipelines, writing IaC, building platform environments, and setting the standard through your own work while keeping the team unblocked and the client informed.

What Youll Do
Technical Delivery and Oversight
Youll own a defined portion of the technical scope — designing the architecture, doing the work, and leading your team through it. That looks like:

Architecting Platform solutions within your workstream — designing the approach, documenting tradeoffs, articulating it clearly to clients, and leading your team through implementation

Building, configuring, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines end-to-end — designing the strategy, choosing the toolchain, and evolving it as the clients delivery maturity grows

Writing and managing infrastructure as code — Terraform or CloudFormation — including module design, state management, and drift

Designing, writing, and managing AI Agents and AI tooling at scale or an organization as part of expanding platform capabilities

Building and deploying cloud-native platform environments — whether that’s Kubernetes, managed container services, or other orchestration platforms depending on client environment — getting teams to a place where they can run and operate workloads in production confidently

Building and implementing observability — metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting that actually tells you something useful when things go wrong

Building developer platform tooling, automation, and self-service infrastructure that makes engineering teams faster and less dependent on manual work

Integrating AI tooling into Platform workflows and delivery pipelines where it makes the most impact

Making day-to-day architecture decisions within your scope and escalating the right ones to the account lead or architect when they have broader implications

Identifying technical risk early and surfacing it clearly before it becomes a delivery problem

Generating ideas, failing fast, and demonstrating with POCs

Team and People

Lead a small team of engineers — organizing work, breaking down tasks, pairing on hard problems, and keeping the team moving

Uplift engineers through code review, pairing, and day-to-day technical mentorship

Mentor junior team members through 1:1s, feedback, and guiding technical growth

Stakeholder Communication

Serve as a technical point of contact for your scope — representing the work clearly to client engineers and project stakeholders

Keep account leaders and architects up to date on concerns, blockers, and changes

Adapt quickly to change and shift focus as required to meet customer needs

Provide feedback on team performance and areas for growth

Engineering and Infrastructure

You can own a CI/CD pipeline end-to-end — designing the strategy, building it, and evolving it as the clients delivery maturity grows

Youve written and managed production IaC at scale — Terraform or CloudFormation — including module design, remote state, and managing infrastructure drift in a live enterprise environment

Youve built and deployed cloud‑native platform environments in real production settings — whether that’s Kubernetes, managed container services, or other orchestration platforms — and helped engineering teams get to a place where they can run and operate their workloads confidently

Youve made real architecture decisions — designed systems under constraints, documented tradeoffs, and been accountable for what happened when those decisions met production

Youve built meaningful observability for real systems — you know the difference between metrics that tell a story and dashboards nobody looks at, and you can set up alerting that pages on the right things

Youve built platform tooling and developer infrastructure — self-service tooling, automation, or internal infrastructure that made engineering teams faster and less dependent on manual ops work

Youve worked deeply across at least one major cloud provider and have enough breadth across others to be productive quickly in a new environment

You can hold the technical bar for a small team — reviewing code, catching architecture problems early, and helping engineers grow through the process

AI and Intelligent Systems

Youve integrated AI capabilities into real delivery workflows — whether that’s AI‑assisted pipeline troubleshooting, intelligent automation, or tooling that makes your team faster — and you can describe what worked and what didnt

You use AI coding tools like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf as a daily driver and actively help your team get value from them

Youre familiar enough with LLM capabilities to make smart decisions about where to apply them in a Platform context

Requirements

7+ years of hands‑on Platform engineering experience, with some demonstrated technical leadership

Must be authorized to work in the United States or Canada without sponsorship

Travel: 25‑50% depending on client needs and remote work otherwise

Base Salary: 140,000‑170,000 plus 10% bonus

Full benefits including unlimited PTO, funded HSA option, 401k match, monthly LiveWell stipend, and quarterly company bonus (10% Annually)
