Job Description:

We’re looking for a seasoned Senior Manager of Platform Engineering to lead key initiatives within our Delivery Engineering organization.

You’ll partner with Cloud Engineering/Architecture, SRE, Security and Quality to scale automation, define standards, and deliver modern CI/CD and infrastructure tooling used across all of the TAG brands.

Responsibilities:

• Develop delivery tooling to support/improve productivity for engineering teams; enabling teams to build, deploy, and own their applications end-to-end
• Guide engineering teams in modernizing their applications using cloud-native patterns and scalable architecture
• Design and implement CI/CD pipelines that reflect industry best practices for deployment and infrastructure-as-code
• Collaborate cross-functionally to expand and enhance our internal platform for application and infrastructure delivery
• Partner with Cloud Engineering and SRE to define infrastructure standards and improve visibility (logging, metrics, tracing)
• Work with Quality Engineering to evolve our testing platform and enable rapid, reliable test cycles
• Champion a data-driven, declarative approach to platform development, empowering engineers with paved-road experiences across CI/CD, infrastructure, observability, and security

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• 7 years of experience in Platform, Delivery, or Developer Infrastructure Engineering
• Proven experience leading high-impact teams or initiatives, ideally in hybrid or cloud-native environments
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Hands-on software engineering experience with frameworks like FastAPI, .NET 7, or similar
• Proficiency in Python or Go; experience with C# and ASP.NET is a plus
• Experience with Kubernetes and public cloud platforms (GCP, AWS preferred)
• Have a GitOps mentality driving change via SCM based workflows for tools such as Terraform, ArgoCD, and Gitlab CI templates/policies.
• Familiarity with internal developer platform and deployment tools (e.g., Spinnaker, Argo CD, Port, Backstage)
• Understanding of common artifact/package managers (Docker/Harbor Registry, NuGet, PyPi, NPM)
• Strong open-source mindset—whether it’s using, contributing, or building with open tools
• Passion for solving complex problems, enabling teams, and building impactful platform experiences

Annual Salary Range: $170k-210k/year, with a generous benefits package that includes paid time off, health, dental, vision, and 401(k) savings plan with match
