What you'll do
- Drive rapid delivery and iteration for the Core Services team of DoiT Cloud Intelligence.
- Help turn broad platform needs into clear technical product direction, sequenced investments, and reliably delivered capabilities.
- Report to a VP of Product and work as an embedded member of the Core Services Engineering team.
- Collaborate closely with engineering leadership, architects, security, product teams, and internal platform consumers to determine what the team should build next and why.
- Own delivery, iteration, and learning velocity for Core Services.
- Turn VP-level direction into clear problems to solve, a prioritized backlog, and incrementally shippable scope.
- Run the feedback loop: discover → define → build → release → measure → iterate, repeatedly.
- Work within the Engineering teams to ensure they are always building the highest-value next increment with clarity and quality.
- Review technical designs, reason about tradeoffs and constraints, and understand their impact on delivery timelines and system behavior, without being the primary implementer.
- Leverage deep, hands-on DevOps experience and public cloud understanding to ensure that solution implementations are done correctly.
- Translate the VP’s strategy into a sequenced backlog of problems, user stories, and acceptance criteria that the Engineering team can deliver continuously.
- Keep work “thin-sliced” so the team can ship frequently, learn quickly, and reduce risk through iteration.
- Maintain a disciplined cadence of backlog refinement, sprint readiness, and scope negotiation to keep delivery predictable without slowing innovation.
- Leverage hands-on DevOps experience and expertise in real-world workflows of cloud operators and practitioners.
- Use firsthand domain knowledge and ongoing customer conversations to identify friction, gaps, and opportunities for differentiation.
- Prioritize enhancements that materially improve speed, reliability, clarity, safety, governance, cost impact, or operational simplicity.
- Speak with customers, aiming for 3-5 calls a week, and cross-functional DoiT stakeholders regularly to test ideas, validate assumptions, and pressure-test tradeoffs.
- Communicate clearly and confidently: share concepts early, take feedback openly, synthesize input into decisions, and explain “why” in a way that builds trust.
- Use hands-on DevOps experience to go deep with internal and external stakeholders into the technical details of the problem, the solution, and the contexts and environments in which both exist.
- Support beta/design-partner motions where appropriate by shaping hypotheses, success criteria, and rollout plans.
- Operate as a core member of the Core Services Engineering team, present in daily collaboration, crisp in decision-making, and pragmatic about constraints.
- Partner with Engineering leads on sequencing, technical tradeoffs, and delivery planning, ensuring product intent survives implementation realities.
- Ensure Core Services are cohesive across UX, APIs, data, and operational behavior and meet a high bar for reliability and customer trust.
- Define what “success” means for Core Services with clear metrics such as adoption, activation, workflow completion, time-to-value, retention, reliability signals, and customer-reported impact.
- Instrument learning: make sure releases are measurable and that insights reliably flow back into prioritization.
- Own release readiness for Core Services: documentation, enablement inputs, and clear communication of what’s new and why it matters.
- Ensure product requirements account for real-world cloud environments: IAM boundaries, auditability, guardrails, and safe defaults.
- Partner with security, support, and customer teams to anticipate edge cases and ensure Core Services earns trust over time.
What they require
- 7–10 years of hands-on experience as a Platform Engineer, DevOps Engineer, SRE, Cloud Engineer, Solutions Architect, or a similar roles working with or building products for public cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, and/or Azure).
- A strong product sense for turning messy problems into clear scope and shipped value - without waiting for perfect information.
- Systems thinking: Ability to reason about complex distributed systems, architectural tradeoffs, and long-term platform evolution.
- Prioritization: Demonstrated ability to balance customer needs, engineering constraints, and platform investments when making prioritization decisions.
- Deep curiosity and technical fluency in cloud fundamentals (cost/billing concepts, identity/IAM, networking, compute, Kubernetes, observability, automation), and experience building solutions that leverage or focus on these technologies.
- Preferred: Coding experience is a plus - enough to collaborate effectively with engineers, reason about feasibility, and understand system behaviors.
- Excellent communication skills: you can explain complex ideas simply, facilitate alignment, and confidently engage with customers and experts.
- A bias for action and continuous improvement: you ship, measure, learn, and iterate - building capabilities that become a meaningful competitive differentiator.
