About the Role

You'll be a technical owner of our platform function; designing systems, eliminating friction for developers, and raising the bar on how we deliver software. This means leading with code and with conviction: you'll push back when something is wrong, drive decisions to closure, and make things meaningfully better. You won't be handed a roadmap. You'll help build one.

We move quickly, and we expect this person to thrive in that environment. If you've spent the last decade at a slow-moving enterprise, this probably isn't the right fit. If you've done your best work in high-growth SaaS environments where the constraints are real and the impact is immediate, keep reading.

What You'll Own:

Core platform services and self-service tooling that developers want to use
CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code that are fast, reliable, and well-understood across teams
Observability and telemetry - not just dashboards, but genuine operational insight into workloads and infrastructure
Cloud infrastructure across AWS/GCP: reliability, security, cost - you'll have a strong opinion on all three
Service catalog and developer portal work, making tooling discoverable and self-service
A meaningful voice in platform strategy and roadmap prioritization

What You Bring:

10 years in software engineering, DevOps, or platform engineering - primarily at fast-moving SaaS companies
Deep hands-on experience with AWS and/or GCP, and container orchestration at scale
Strong IaC fluency - Pulumi, Terraform, or comparable
CI/CD expertise, especially GitLab
Python scripting
Experience with Backstage, SonarQube, LaunchDarkly, or similar platform tooling
Hands-on work with microservice architectures — development and support, not just observation
Communication skills that translate technical trade-offs clearly across an engineering org

Technology we work with:

AWS / GCP / Kubernetes/ Pulumi /GitLab CI/CD / ArgoCD / Kustomize / Backstage / SonarQube / LaunchDarkly / Python / Observability / OpenTelemetry / Microservices

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

· An opportunity to work in a values-driven, performance oriented, dynamic and growth focused culture

· We support a remote working environment with a one-time home office allowance and subsidized monthly internet allowance

· Competitive health benefits, dental plans, and retirement savings plan (RRSP, 401K plan etc.)

· Annual fitness allowance

· Mental health support provided through access to Calm Premium meditation app and access to Talkspace

· Access to Udemy, internal training programs, annual training allowance and certifications (if applicable), and High Talent Programs
