Full Job Description

Strategy & Vision Define and evangelize a multi-year strategy and vision for IC3's software engineering tools and engineering systems, grounded in a deep understanding of the SDLC and the day-to-day needs of engineering teams. Identify the highest-impact investments to improve developer productivity, engineering efficiency, and deployment safety, and build the business case for them with data. Establish the operating rhythm (planning, reviews, status, governance) that keeps cross-functional teams aligned and accountable. Developer Productivity & Impact Influence without authority across organizational boundaries, driving alignment among engineering, platform, and leadership stakeholders.

Experience driving the strategy, roadmap, and execution of technical products or programs across multiple engineering teams, from concept to delivery. Hands-on experience building or managing developer tools and engineering systems at scale — build systems, CI/CD pipelines, test infrastructure, or release/deployment platforms (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub, or comparable). Experience defining and improving developer productivity through metrics and DevEx practices (e.g., cycle time, build/test reliability, DORA-style metrics). Demonstrated familiarity with safe deployment practices — progressive/ring-based rollouts, feature flags/flighting, automated quality gates, rollback strategies, and release-health telemetry. Experience with large-scale cloud, distributed systems, or real-time communications platforms. Experience and record of influencing and aligning cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority, and of using data to drive decisions and measure outcomes. Experience driving org-wide or cross-team engineering-systems initiatives and influencing senior technical leadership.
