Senior Platform Engineer in Ann Arbor

Domino’s Pizza, which began in 1960 as a single store location in Ypsilanti, MI, has had a lot to celebrate lately: we’re a reshaped, reenergized brand of honesty, transparency and accountability - not to mention, great food! In the rise to becoming a true technology leader, the brand is now consistently one of the top five companies in online transactions and 65% of our sales in the U.S. are taken through digital channels. The brand continues to ‘deliver the dream’ to local business owners, 90% of which started as delivery drivers and pizza makers in our stores. That’s just the tip of the iceberg…or as we might say, one “slice” of the pie! If this sounds like a brand you’d like to be a part of, consider joining our team!, We are seeking a Senior / Lead Platform Engineer to design, build, and evolve a highly scalable, secure, and reliable cloud platform powering large-scale consumer-facing applications. This role will lead the development of our internal platform capabilities, enabling engineering teams to deliver software rapidly and safely through standardized, self-service infrastructure, CI/CD, and runtime services.

This position combines deep hands-on engineering with technical leadership, focusing on Azure- architectures, Kubernetes (AKS), GitOps (FluxCD), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and modern web delivery technologies.
