Your team Your new team is a group of motivated, collaborative, and innovative Engineers. Working on-site, hybrid, or fully remote, they come together to create and evolve a well-loved product but always keep room for new ideas and approaches. Outside of work, they’re parents, gamers, bookworms, adrenaline junkies, and so much more. Your Mission As the Vice President of Platform Engineering, you lead a team of around 20 engineers across backend platform, frontend platform, DevOps, architecture, accessibility, and quality assurance. You set the platform technology strategy and own its execution. Every product engineer builds on the platform you own, from cloud infrastructure to the internal developer platform to our AI tooling. Your mandate is to remove friction at the source, so stream-aligned product teams ship more, at higher quality. Growing the people on your team matters as much as the platform itself. You mentor your engineers and managers, and you provide them with the support to develop in their roles and careers. This role reports to the CPO/ CPTO and sits on the Product leadership team. Your closest partner is the VP of Product Engineering. You jointly set the priorities that determine where the platform invests, so the work you ship aligns with real product needs.
