A strong tech lead ready to take the step up is equally welcome. * You have hands-on familiarity with AI tooling, CI/CD tooling, version control workflows, containerization and cloud infrastructure, and a strong interest in AI-assisted development, MCP and agentic tooling in an engineering context. * You have a product mindset: you think in terms of users, adoption and outcomes rather than tickets closed. * You are comfortable owning a budget and justifying investment decisions. * You have strong communication skills, with the ability to move between a deep technical discussion and an executive conversation. * You are pragmatic and comfortable with ambiguity, because this space is moving fast and the roadmap will change - and you're genuinely energized by making other engineers more productive. ## Description * You own the Developer Platform as a product: you define the vision and roadmap based on what our engineers actually need, measure adoption, gather feedback and retire what doesn't land. * You drive our internal developer portal and golden paths so that teams can move from idea to production without filing a ticket. * You set the direction on AI-assisted software development: MCP servers, agentic tooling, and the safe and effective adoption of AI across the SDLC. * You lead, coach and develop a team of platform engineers, and you own hiring, performance and retention - creating the conditions for them to do their best work. * You own the team's budget and make cost-conscious decisions on tooling, licences and cloud spend. * You make sure reliability, security and compliance are built into the platform rather than bolted on afterwards, and you report clearly on platform health, adoption and impact to leadership. * You act as the connection point between what developers want and what the organisation requires, and you push back constructively when the two conflict. * You represent the platform internally: you evangelise it, onboard teams onto it, and turn sceptics into users., * You have a solid engineering, architecture or software delivery background, and you understand modern delivery from the inside. ## Related Videos - [Empowering Thousands of Developers: Our Journey to an Internal Developer Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1519-empowering-thousands-of-developers-our-journey-to-an-internal-developer-platform) - [Green Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/592-green-cloud-computing) - [Containers and Kubernetes made easy: Deep dive into Podman Desktop and new AI capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1133-containers-and-kubernetes-made-easy-deep-dive-into-podman-desktop-and-new-ai-capabilities) - [The Avengers Initiative (Practical Ethics for Software Engineers)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2070-the-avengers-initiative-practical-ethics-for-software-engineers) - [Why Your Best Mediors Never Become Seniors (And How to Fix It)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2108-why-your-best-mediors-never-become-seniors-and-how-to-fix-it) - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Should Tech Managers Be Developers First?
