Role Description
As the Senior Manager, Platform Engineering, you’ll manage senior engineers, drive clarity and accountability across ambiguous spaces, and partner deeply with org leaders to align technical outcomes to business priorities. You’ll be expected to bring rigor to performance management, define and communicate value signals, and help shape the culture of technical excellence. This is not a traditional SRE or DevOps role. We are shifting toward platform engineering as enablement, not dependency. Your success is measured not by firefighting or ticket queues, but by your team’s ability to reduce KTLO, increase engineering velocity, and up-level ownership across other teams.
- Lead and grow a team of engineers supporting shared services that abstract complexity, reduce redundancy, and standardize operational capabilities across the org.
- Own the performance and development of your team—ensuring clarity of expectations, consistent feedback loops, and an inclusive culture that challenges and supports.
- Partner with leaders across engineering, security, infrastructure, and product to align roadmaps, and communicate impact.
- Define clear signals of value and measure success through reliability, adoption, cost efficiency, and developer satisfaction.
- Drive modernization efforts across a portfolio of legacy services by empowering teams to adopt platform-first, self-service models.
- Shape the enablement strategy, helping teams shift from support reliance to platform-empowered ownership.
- Coach senior ICs and help them grow as technical and cultural leaders within and beyond your team.
- Bring strong written and verbal communication skills to influence across levels—equally comfortable in exec reviews and architecture forums.
- Promote a culture of accountability, high standards, and continuous improvement.
Qualifications
- Proven success managing senior engineers and driving cross-cutting platform or enablement initiatives.
- Deep understanding of platform engineering principles, service architecture, and operational maturity models.
- A performance-oriented mindset—you know how to assess, develop, and motivate high-level technical talent.
- Ability to distill ambiguity into aligned roadmaps and clear team goals.
- Strong communication skills with demonstrated ability to engage executives, influence peers, and drive consensus.
- Passion for enablement, modernization, and systems that scale through culture, not headcount.
- Familiarity with distributed systems, observability, deployment frameworks, or platform adoption strategies is a plus.
Benefits
Our efforts to streamline the real estate transaction are supported by a deep-rooted culture of innovation, our passion to redefine the employee experience, a fundamental commitment to Equity and Belonging, and world-class benefits.
- Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, and disability coverages.
