Senior Manager, Platform Engineering (AWS/DevOps) - Hybrid

The Opportunity

Within Aeroflow, the Product Delivery Platform Engineering team builds and operates the systems, tooling, infrastructure, observability platforms, and automation capabilities that enable engineering teams to deliver software quickly, securely, and reliably at scale.

This team supports Ecommerce Product Engineering, Internal Product Engineering, and Innovation Engineering by providing the delivery platform, cloud infrastructure standards, observability capabilities, deployment systems, and operational guardrails that allow teams to move quickly without increasing risk.

As the Senior Manager, Product Delivery Platform Engineering (DevOps / AWS), you will lead the team responsible for building and operating the engineering platform that powers software delivery across the organization.

This is not a traditional infrastructure operations or ticket-based DevOps leadership role. This role owns the platform and developer enablement systems that make scalable, reliable, and auditable software delivery possible.
