This role sits at the heart of engineering operations, owning the stability, efficiency, and evolution of enterprise-scale platform services and release processes. It combines hands-on operational leadership with strategic responsibility for modernising infrastructure across on-premise and cloud environments. You will lead multiple teams of engineers working across development, release infrastructure, and platform services. The role has a strong focus on reliability, automation, and continuous delivery in complex, distributed systems. It also plays a critical part in driving cost optimisation and operational efficiency at scale. You will help shape an automation-first, IaC-driven operating model while introducing AI-enabled workflows to improve engineering productivity. This is a high-impact leadership position focused on platform excellence, delivery performance, and long-term operational transformation.
• Accountabilities: Lead and coordinate three engineering and platform teams (~15 people) responsible for internal operations, shared services, and release infrastructure across cloud and on-premise environments. Own end-to-end release management, including planning, scheduling, execution, validation, rollback strategies, and continuous improvement of release processes. Ensure platform reliability, operational readiness, monitoring, incident response, and support across environments and services. Define and execute cost optimisation strategies, establishing baselines and continuously tracking infrastructure and operational efficiency. Drive automation-first operations by embedding Infrastructure as Code (IaC), GitOps practices, and modern CI/CD pipelines. Oversee operational metrics such as availability, deployment success rates, and MTTR, using data to improve performance and stability. Coordinate with architecture and delivery teams to ensure scalable, standardised, and consistent platform practices. Requirements: Proven experience leading platform engineering, infrastructure, or operations teams in complex, distributed environments. Experience managing multiple teams (10–20 people) with accountability for delivery, operations, and outcomes. Strong background in release management, CI/CD pipelines, and enterprise-scale deployment operations. Hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as AWS and/or Microsoft Azure, and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes). Solid experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform) and automation-driven delivery models. Demonstrated success in cost optimisation and operational efficiency initiatives. Familiarity with Agile or SAFe environments and cross-team delivery coordination. Strong leadership, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills with a delivery-focused mindset. Exposure to AI-enabled engineering workflows and modern DevOps/GitOps practices is highly desirable. Benefits: Remote-friendly opportunity based in India. Leadership role with high visibility and impact across enterprise engineering operations. Opportunity to shape modern, automation-first platform engineering practices. Exposure to advanced cloud, Kubernetes, and IaC-driven environments. Work in a culture focused on impact, integrity, and continuous innovation.
