• Work closely with Engineering teams to ensure platform adoption and usability.
• Communicate product updates, risks, and delivery timelines to leadership and key stakeholders.

Nice-to-Have:

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes clusters (EKS, AKS, GKE), Helm, Terraform, or cloud infrastructure.
• Experience with developer platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code (IaC).
• Background in software engineering, SRE, or DevOps is a plus.

Why Join Us?
