Lead Cloud Engineer

Build the platform every engineering team depends on and shape how Performativ scales through reliability, resilience, and

world-class developer experience.

As our Hands-On Lead Cloud Engineer, you will lead Mission Control, our Platform Engineering and Reliability team. Mission Control

creates secure, self-service platform capabilities that enable product teams to build, deploy, and operate services independently.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you'll spend the majority of your time building production infrastructure and

platform capabilities, leading through technical contribution rather than process.

• Build and evolve the default, secure-by-default platform that enables product teams to build, deploy, and operate services

independently.

• Create reusable AWS CDK constructs, infrastructure standards, and golden paths that reduce complexity and improve the developer

experience across engineering.

• Set the technical direction for Mission Control, making pragmatic decisions about platform evolution, reliability, and

developer experience while helping the team execute.

• Strengthen our reliability practices through SLOs, error budgets, runbooks, incident tooling, and post-incident improvements

that drive meaningful change.

• Treat cloud cost as a first-class engineering concern by improving visibility, eliminating waste, and designing systems that

scale efficiently.

• Partner closely with our security specialists to build secure-by-default platform capabilities and continuously strengthen our

security posture.

• Own the evolution of the engineering platform that enables every product team to build, deploy, and operate services

independently.

• Provide technical leadership, coaching, and feedback to a small team of experienced platform engineers while remaining deeply

involved in delivery.

• 7+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, or similar

production-focused environments.

• Strong experience designing and operating production workloads on AWS, including Infrastructure as Code. Experience with AWS

CDK and TypeScript is strongly preferred.

• Comfort owning outcomes, making decisions in ambiguous environments, and improving engineering practices without adding

unnecessary process.

• Actively leverages AI and agent-assisted engineering workflows to improve productivity while applying sound engineering

judgment and maintaining high quality standards.

You don't need experience with every technology listed below. We care far more about strong engineering fundamentals, curiosity,

and your ability to learn, build, and improve systems.

• Infrastructure & Cloud: AWS CDK (TypeScript), Terraform (bonus), and modern AWS infrastructure, networking, security,

governance, and observability services.

• Wider Engineering Stack: You'll collaborate with teams building services primarily in Golang and TypeScript, alongside React,

React Native, Python, and PHP.

• Work with intelligent, passionate, and driven professionals with experience from leading institutions (such as Goldman Sachs,

McKinsey, BCG, Amazon etc).
