What Your Teams Will Build: A fresh compute cluster for new platform services, with namespace isolation, modern autoscaling, and clean networking CI/CD pipelines (build, test, contract validation, GitOps deployment) that are the single supported path for all new services A service template that gives domain teams a working, observable, deployable service in minutes Shared libraries and building blocks: event streaming clients, HTTP clients, auth middleware, instrumentation Infrastructure modules: reusable, versioned modules for databases, event streaming topics, caching, secrets -- provisioned via infrastructure-as-code An observability stack (APM, logging, tracing, alerting) that ships by default with every service. How Youll Lead: Stay close to the technical work: review designs, participate in architecture discussions, and maintain the judgment to evaluate proposals and recognize when something needs a different approach Manage and develop engineers directly, with the potential to grow into managing team leads as the organization scales Prioritize ruthlessly: the platform backlog will always be larger than the team.
