Depth. 15+ years across the platform disciplines (platform engineering, cloud, DevOps, SRE, and software engineering), including deep hands-on experience building and operating services consumed by multiple teams or business units
Platform engineering. Hands-on experience building internal developer platforms and shared services used by many teams or business units (self-service, golden paths, API versioning and backward compatibility, adoption), with a platform-as-product mindset that treats engineers as customers and reduces their cognitive load
Cloud engineering. Strong, current, hands-on expertise on AWS (or Azure/GCP): containers and Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar), and practical command of networking, identity, security posture, and cost
DevOps. Deep hands-on CI/CD and GitOps experience, building and operating delivery pipelines and environment automation, and improving the developer experience of shipping change safely and fast
Site reliability engineering. Production-ownership experience: SLIs and SLOs, error budgets, observability, incident response, capacity planning, and toil reduction through automation
Software engineering. An excellent engineer with strong design sensibility (API contracts, clean abstractions, separation of concerns) who builds production services as durable products and stays hands-on in the code. Fluent in at least one modern backend language (Go, Python, TypeScript, or similar), with sound build-vs-buy judgment
Platform security. Hands-on cloud-native security expertise (IAM, OAuth/OIDC, secrets and workload identity, certificate lifecycle, policy-as-code, and secure software supply chain), with a track record of building secure-by-default platforms
Architecture and standards stewardship. A track record of shaping reference architectures, golden paths, and engineering standards that other teams adopt, turning them into executable guidance rather than documentation
AI-first delivery. Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development and agentic coding workflows (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar), able to define best practices and guardrails and to shape how these tools change delivery, code quality, and team structure
Influence and communication. Exceptional written and verbal communication, able to build trust across organizational boundaries, align engineers across operating companies, and mentor without relying on positional authority
