This is a hands-on player-coach role: you lead the platform engineering team while staying in the systems yourself, writing infrastructure code, debugging deploys, and setting the standard by doing the work. Your immediate mandate is building a standardized Kubernetes deployment path and self-service tooling that removes infrastructure hand-holding from application engineers, reducing the operational drag that consumes nearly half of engineering capacity today. You partner closely with engineering leadership and every squad whose work flows through your pipelines, driving toward infrastructure that's more reliable, more automated, and better understood — and change processes that produce audit-ready evidence without a fire drill.</span></p><p style="font-family:" basel="" grotesk",arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px="" 0px;padding:0px;"=""><br></p><p style="font-family:" basel="" grotesk",arial,sans-serif;font-size:13pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px="" 0px;padding:0px;"=""><b><strong style="font-size:13pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">What You'll Do:</strong></b></p><p style="font-family:" basel="" grotesk",arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px="" 0px;padding:0px;"=""><br></p><ul data-pattern="discCircleSquare" data-depth="1" style="font-family:" basel="" grotesk",arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;margin:8px="" 0px;line-height:1.6;padding:0px="" 0px="" 32px;list-style-type:disc;"=""><li style="color:rgb(0,0,0);margin:0pt 0px;font-size:11pt;line-height:1.38;letter-spacing:0.25px;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:11pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lead the platform engineering team: own its delivery, reliability commitments, health, and the growth and career development of its engineers, while remaining hands-on in the infrastructure and tooling yourself.</span></li><li style="color:rgb(0,0,0);margin:0pt 0px;font-size:11pt;line-height:1.38;letter-spacing:0.25px;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:11pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">Make LegitScript’s infrastructure auditable: own environment separation, change control, access management, and audit logging so that changes to production are traceable and defensible, and so the controls hold up to the Secure SDLC Policy, the Change Management Policy, and SOC 2 evidence requirements.</span></li><li style="color:rgb(0,0,0);margin:0pt 0px;font-size:11pt;line-height:1.38;letter-spacing:0.25px;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:11pt;white-space:pre-wrap;"> Drive the migration to a standardized Kubernetes deployment path, delivered incrementally at natural replacement points while maintaining operational continuity for the teams and services that depend on it.
