Lead Platform Engineer

Liatrio is a company that helps large enterprises enable AI and modernize their operations. They are seeking a Lead Platform Engineer to design and implement platform solutions, lead a small team of engineers, and ensure the technical quality of deliverables while integrating AI tools into workflows.

Responsibilities:

• Architecting Platform solutions within your workstream — designing the approach, documenting tradeoffs, articulating it clearly to clients, and leading your team through implementation
• Building, configuring, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines end-to-end — designing the strategy, choosing the toolchain, and evolving it as the client's delivery maturity grows
• Writing and managing infrastructure as code — Terraform or CloudFormation — including module design, state management, and drift
• Designing, writing, and managing AI Agents and AI tooling at scale or an organization as part of expanding platform capabilities
• Building and deploying cloud-native platform environments — whether that's Kubernetes, managed container services, or other orchestration platforms depending on client environment — getting teams to a place where they can run and operate workloads in production confidently
• Building and implementing observability — metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting that actually tells you something useful when things go wrong
• Building developer platform tooling, automation, and self-service infrastructure that makes engineering teams faster and less dependent on manual work
• Integrating AI tooling into Platform workflows and delivery pipelines where it makes the most impact
• Making day-to-day architecture decisions within your scope and escalating the right ones to the account lead or architect when they have broader implications
• Identifying technical risk early and surfacing it clearly before it becomes a delivery problem
• Generating ideas, failing fast, and demonstrating with POCs
• Lead a small team of engineers — organizing work, breaking down tasks, pairing on hard problems, and keeping the team moving
• Uplift engineers through code review, pairing, and day-to-day technical mentorship
• Mentor junior team members through 1:1s, feedback, and guiding technical growth
• Serve as a technical point of contact for your scope — representing the work clearly to client engineers and project stakeholders
• Keep account leaders and architects up to date on concerns, blockers, and changes
• Adapt quickly to change and shift focus as required to meet customer needs
• Provide feedback on team performance and areas for growth

Requirements:

• 7+ years of hands-on Platform engineering experience, with some demonstrated technical leadership
• Must be authorized to work in the United States or Canada without sponsorship
• Travel: 25-50% depending on client needs and remote work otherwise
