Director of Platform Engineering
Gen Digital Inc., CZE - Prague
The role
The Director, Platform Engineering is a senior technical leadership role within Gen Digital's Production Operations organization, accountable for the platforms, infrastructure, and tooling that the entire development and technology organization builds on. You will lead three platform teams — Cloud Platform, Productivity Platform, and AI Platform — and the engineering managers who run them, setting a unified technical strategy that spans multi-cloud infrastructure, the internal developer platform, enterprise engineering tooling, and the emerging AI platform.
You will treat these platforms as products: defining golden paths and paved roads, measuring adoption and developer experience, and reducing the cognitive load required for product teams to ship safely and quickly.
This is a highly visible role that partners directly with engineering, security, data, and business leadership. You are accountable for the availability, scalability, performance, cost efficiency, and compliance posture of the shared platform estate across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, including 24x7 production ownership, incident and problem management, and the operational readiness of AI and machine learning workloads running in production. You will build and develop a high-performing, multi-disciplinary organization and represent platform strategy to executive stakeholders.
