Full Job Description
What You'll do:
  • Own the tooling and services that power the next generation of our CI/CD pipelines-the GitOps deployment API/CLI (TypeScript/Node, NestJS), self-service deployment capabilities (ArgoCD/Helm/Cloud Run), the shared TypeScript package ecosystem (an Nx monorepo), and the ingress layer-making the calls on how these systems evolve, integrate, and stay reliable as a large share of the company depends on them, in partnership with our CI/CD team.
  • Lead the stabilization and strategic evolution and stabilization of these mission-critical systems; prioritize technical knowledge capture and de-risk the highest-leverage deployment paths as the platform transitions to your ownership.
  • Lead technical direction-golden paths, standards, and the multi-quarter roadmap-across the delivery tooling and the Go automation and intelligence platform (internal APIs, durable workflows, agentic tooling), including build-vs-buy, consolidation, and sunset calls.
  • Stay hands-on at the hard edges-design and build the highest-leverage, highest-risk components yourself in Go and TypeScript/Node, and set the patterns others follow.
  • Shape how we apply Agentic AI, MCP (Model Context Protocol), and durable workflows (Temporal) to automate the creation, upgrading, and auditing of infrastructure.
  • Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, raise the quality bar through design and code review, and influence partner teams-CI/CD, the embedded DevOps teams, and the org that co-owns the shared monorepo-without relying on positional authority.

What you bring:
  • 12+ years of backend, platform, or infrastructure engineering experience, or equivalent impact and technical leadership.
  • A track record of architecting and operating tooling, services, or platforms that many other teams depend on-API/contract design, versioning and backward compatibility, blast-radius management, and the judgment to keep a high-traffic system evolvable.
  • Strong experience in at least one of the following:
    • Delivery / GitOps tooling - ArgoCD (ideally ApplicationSets), Helm, and building deployment tooling that other engineers rely on
    • Backend platform & API engineering at scale, on systems many teams build on
  • Proficiency in Go or TypeScript/JavaScript, with strong working ability in the other. Our delivery systems are TypeScript/Node (NestJS, in an Nx monorepo); our automation platform core is Go.
  • Experience with Kubernetes (K8s), serverless runtimes (GCP Cloud Run or equivalent), and major cloud providers (GCP and AWS)
  • A track record of leading a high-stakes inheritance or migration, setting direction across a team, mentoring senior engineers, and driving alignment across organizational boundaries.
  • Practical experience or strong theoretical depth in Agentic AI, MCP, and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) frameworks, and a point of view on where they belong in an infrastructure platform.

Preferred Qualification:
  • Experience with durable execution (Temporal or similar) for stateful distributed workflows, and with Terraform at scale.
  • Experience with multi-runtime delivery (Cloud Functions, Dataflow, Lambda) beyond Cloud Run.
  • Experience co-owning a shared monorepo or platform across multiple teams or orgs.
  • Contributions to open-source infrastructure, CD, or developer-tooling projects.
  • Helm, Argo, Istio
