What You’ll Be Up To…

• Lead and develop a team of platform engineers delivering managed Kubernetes across multiple cloud providers, BYOC customer deployments, and private networking capabilities for enterprise customers

• Own the platform engineering delivery roadmap — sequencing, dependency tracking, and cross-team coordination with Cloud Organization, Security, and Professional Services

• Drive foundational infrastructure programs including private networking, managed Kubernetes, and cloud account governance, establishing patterns that become Ditto’s standard deployment baseline

• Manage the balance between active customer support commitments and internal platform investment — setting clear interrupt budgets and protecting engineering capacity for high-priority roadmap work

• Translate technical architecture decisions into executable plans, ensuring engineers have clarity on what to build, why it matters, and how each piece fits the larger platform picture

• Build the operational foundation — SLOs, runbooks, incident response, and access management — that moves Ditto’s infrastructure toward four 9s of reliability and business continuity

• Represent the Platform team’s work clearly to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders, communicating complex infrastructure programs to both technical and non-technical audiences

• As the organization scales, take on broader scope across cloud networking and foundational infrastructure as those functions grow

What Helps You Thrive…

• Track record of leading platform or infrastructure teams through major modernization initiatives — managed Kubernetes migrations, multi-cloud expansions, or greenfield infrastructure builds

• Strong enough technical depth in Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure to engage credibly with senior engineers on architecture decisions, identify risks in proposals, and represent technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders

• Experience managing competing priorities across customer delivery commitments and internal platform investment — you know how to protect foundational work without dropping live obligations

• Clear, direct communicator who can represent complex infrastructure programs concisely to executive audiences and push back constructively when scope or timelines are unrealistic

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity — you bring structure and clarity to situations that don’t have them yet, rather than waiting for perfect information before acting

• Background in enterprise infrastructure deployment models where reliability, security posture, and compliance expectations are high

• A proactive and curious attitude about how AI can support your role through automation, ideation, or more thoughtful decision-making

Great-to-Haves…

• Experience building or scaling a platform engineering function, including team design, hiring, and onboarding engineers into complex infrastructure domains

• Familiarity with multi-cloud identity federation, OIDC delegation, or cross-provider authentication patterns

• Hands-on background with private networking patterns or secure access tooling in production environments

• Exposure to cloud account structure, organizational governance, or networking backbone design at the platform level

• Open source contributions or community involvement in cloud-native infrastructure, Kubernetes, or multi-cloud tooling
