The Platform teams are focused on the Creative Fabrica infrastructure and foundational software components. That includes SRE and dev experience, core domain services (foundational entities like identity management, authentication, authorization, sessions management, etc), and the content domain (management of lifecycle of all content items in the system). This is the foundation used by multiple feature teams at CF to build the end-user facing functionality and accelerate value delivery.

This role involves defining and driving strategy and major goals, building and leading the platform engineering team to ensure the reliability, scalability, and performance of our platform. The Head of Platform will join the senior engineering leadership team and work closely with the CTO to foster strong collaboration, drive productivity, and implement best SRE and software architecture practices across engineering.

  • Understanding principles of running an internal platform - (infra at scale, software layering, how to build as a service)
  • Experience with defining, embedding and leading engineering-wide SRE practices and processes, including ownership over production stability, availability, support, performance, and security.
Technical Skills:
  • Experience in modern distributed web service-based architecture.
  • Good understanding of Cloud Native architectures, approaches, and cost optimization, with a focus on AWS.
  • Ability to develop and enforce on-call policies, logging, and reporting business metrics.

Desired Mindset

  • Strategic thinker with a platform-oriented mindset, committed to continuous improvement and operational excellence.
  • Collaborative and open to working with cross-functional teams to achieve common goals and to enable others with the necessary tools and infrastructure for success.
  • Hold yourself and others to high-quality standards and help people meet that level.
