The DTN Operational Decisioning Platform is an internal platform that packages cloud infrastructure into purpose-built, higher-level capabilities so that our engineers, solutions teams, and customers can build data products, applications, and AI-powered tools without managing the underlying cloud infrastructure themselves. The ODP Platform team builds the foundational layer that other teams rely on, including APIs, software development kits (SDKs), command-line interfaces (CLIs), developer tooling, and managed services. Much of this work is greenfield, providing an opportunity to shape the architecture, engineering practices, and long-term evolution of a critical enterprise platform. This is a hands-on engineering leadership role combining people management, technical direction, platform delivery, and operational ownership. As a player/coach, you will guide the engineers building complex distributed systems, partner closely with Architecture, Product, and platform consumers, and establish the engineering quality and operational rigor required to deliver secure, reliable, and reusable capabilities at scale. What You Will Be Responsible For: Engineering Leadership and Team Development Lead and manage a team of platform engineers across multiple experience levels, with responsibility for hiring, onboarding, performance management, professional development, and day-to-day delivery. Coach, mentor, and grow engineers while establishing a healthy, collaborative, high-accountability engineering culture. Set and maintain high standards for engineering quality, technical execution, operational discipline, and continuous improvement. Serve as a hands-on technical leader who can engage deeply in architectural discussions, critically evaluate designs, and help engineers navigate complex technical tradeoffs. Platform Architecture and Technical Direction Own the platform's technical direction in partnership with senior engineers and architecture stakeholders. Guide the design and implementation of foundational, distributed, multi-account cloud systems built on AWS. Oversee the development of developer-facing APIs, SDKs, CLIs, tooling, and managed services that enable other engineering teams to build on the platform. Lead foundational distributed-systems engineering efforts involving secure cross-account communication, multi-tenant isolation, provisioning, and lifecycle automation. Develop platform abstractions that allow engineers and solutions teams to work with purpose-built operational capabilities rather than raw cloud infrastructure. Guide architectural decisions for new and evolving platform capabilities, including substantial greenfield development. Ensure platform architecture supports scalability, security, maintainability, and long-term reuse across multiple products and teams. Platform Adoption and Developer Experience Build a shared platform that internal engineering and solutions teams actively want to use and contribute to. Drive an approach in which reusable platform capabilities emerge from real engineering and customer requirements. Establish practices and incentives that encourage teams to consume, improve, and contribute to shared platform components. Make reuse the default by developing capabilities that improve developer productivity and reduce duplicated engineering effort. Partner with Product to deliver visible, usable milestones, including a developer portal, technical documentation, and initial productized platform capabilities. Incorporate feedback from internal and external platform stakeholders into technical priorities and the product roadmap. Security, Reliability, and Operational Excellence Own the platform's operational contract, ensuring that security, isolation, reliability, and observability guarantees are c
