Target Platform

- Build the shared platform foundation for Kubernetes, Postgres, Kafka, Redis, Kong, observability, and CI/CD.

on-call, alerting, and production review practices.
- Drive SOC2 / ISO 27001 readiness where needed.

Team Building

- Lead a distributed platform organization across infrastructure, DBA, security, DevOps/SRE, internal IT, and migration engineering.
- Hire senior platform, security, SRE, and DevOps talent where the current team has gaps.
- Grow junior engineers into a disciplined platform practice.

Required Experience

- 18+ years in infrastructure, platform engineering, SRE, database operations, or cloud operations.
- Experience leading teams of meaningful size and mixed seniority.
- Deep experience in at least two of Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Azure/AWS, Kafka, observability, or security operations.
- Experience running production systems while modernizing them.
- Solid understanding of multi-tenant SaaS operations, access control, reliability, and incident management.
- Hands-on comfort with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD tooling.

Helpful Experience

- Oracle to Postgres migration experience.
- Retail, ERP, POS, OMS, or e-commerce platform experience.
- Experience building a platform team from an early stage.
- Familiarity with .NET, Java/Spring Boot, and mixed-stack modernization.
- Compliance exposure, including ISO 27001, SOC2, penetration testing, or security audits.
