About the role
- Your work directly shapes both how fast engineers ship and how customers experience Airbyte.
- This role combines people leadership, technical strategy, operational excellence, and platform thinking.
Responsibilities
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Platform Engineers, Fullstack Engineers, and SREs. Recruit engineers who understand that infrastructure decisions are product decisions.
- Invest in and drive adoption of AI-powered workflows for debugging, release validation, infrastructure management, and developer productivity, moving past experimentation into real operational leverage.
- Lead incident response, run blameless postmortems, and ensure systemic fixes follow every outage. Continuously reduce operational toil through automation.
- Build leverage: a week-long task this year should take ten minutes next year.
- Your team is engaged, growing, and building careers they're proud of.
Requirements
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, 2+ years managing engineering teams.
- Experience leading Platform Engineering, Infrastructure, SRE, or Developer Productivity organizations.
- Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and distributed systems.
- Experience operating production systems at scale.
- You've navigated the tension between paying down tech debt and shipping product, and you can articulate how you made those calls.
- You have an insatiable desire to ship.
Nice to have
- Experience with AI-assisted engineering workflows or agentic software development.
- Familiarity with Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and cloud-native infrastructure.
- Experience with data infrastructure, ETL/ELT, or large-scale distributed systems.
- Experience contributing to open-source engineering organizations.
- Familiarity with Airbyte, connector ecosystems, or developer tooling platforms.
- Platform Engineering is the force multiplier for every engineering team at Airbyte.
- The best platform teams are invisible-they make everyone else dramatically more effective.
