About the role

The Platform Engineering Manager owns the infrastructure LegitScript runs on and the developer experience that lets every engineer ship great software - from how code is built and deployed to how infrastructure is governed and proven.
This is a hands-on player-coach role: you lead the platform engineering team while staying in the systems yourself, writing infrastructure code, debugging deploys, and setting the standard by doing the work.
Your immediate mandate is building a standardized Kubernetes deployment path and self-service tooling that removes infrastructure hand-holding from application engineers, reducing the operational drag that consumes nearly half of engineering capacity today.

Responsibilities

Make LegitScript's infrastructure auditable: own environment separation, change control, access management, and audit logging so that changes to production are traceable and defensible, and so the controls hold up to the Secure SDLC Policy, the Change Management Policy, and SOC 2 evidence requirements.
Drive the migration to a standardized Kubernetes deployment path, delivered incrementally at natural replacement points while maintaining operational continuity for the teams and services that depend on it.
Build and own the developer tooling and self-service deployment paths that let engineers ship application code to production without hand-managing infrastructure: the paved road, the golden paths, and the guardrails that make the safe way the easy way.
Establish infrastructure-as-code standards in Terraform and bring manual or unmanaged production changes under version control and change management, eliminating the drift that creates technical debt and audit gaps.
Own reliability, monitoring, alerting, and incident response for infrastructure as first-class concerns; serve as an escalation point and coordinate response for infrastructure incidents.
Hold the boundary with the application platform: provide the infrastructure substrate and tooling that the application-platform and domain teams consume, and partner with the Staff Engineer who owns that platform rather than duplicating or absorbing their scope.
Set and enforce the standard for infrastructure code quality, testing, documentation, and review, and raise the bar for the engineers and partners who work in the platform through clarity and example.
Manage cloud cost and capacity deliberately, making the tradeoffs between performance, reliability, and spend explicit rather than incidental.

Requirements

Experience designing infrastructure and change processes for audit-ability and compliance: environment separation, access control, audit logging, and producing evidence for frameworks such as SOC 2.
Experience with authentication and authorization platforms such as Okta or Auth0.
Demonstrated ability to inherit unfamiliar, legacy, or poorly maintained infrastructure and make it materially better, with strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
Proven ability to influence without direct authority and to set standards that other engineers and teams adopt.
Ability to communicate technical concepts and tradeoffs clearly to non-technical stakeholders, including leadership.

Skills

Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Benefits

Lead the platform engineering team: own its delivery, reliability commitments, health, and the growth and career development of its engineers, while remaining hands-on in the infrastructure and tooling yourself.
