Platform Engineering Lead

Описание вакансии

Rumble is a high-growth video platform and cloud services provider that is creating an independent infrastructure. Our mission is to restore the internet to its roots by making it free and open once again.

Platform Engineering Lead builds and operates Rumble’s Internal Developer Platform (IDP) as an internal product that abstracts infrastructure complexity, standardizes golden paths,

and accelerates developer velocity while supporting both DevOps and SRE practices

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the Platform Engineering Team.

• Design, deliver, and continuously evolve the self-service IDP: CI/CD golden paths, IaC templates (Terraform/Ansible), Kubernetes abstractions, pre-configured environments, monitoring

integrations, code repository environment and cloud-resource abstractions for Rumble Cloud.

• Treat the IDP as a product: run user interviews with Development and Production Ops squads, maintain a public roadmap, and measure success by developer velocity metrics (e.g.,

deployment frequency, lead time).

• Embed secure development hygiene, AI-augmented workflows (with mandatory Human-in-theLoop), and Behavior-Driven Development practices into the platform tools.

• Collaborate with the Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team so the IDP itself is reliable in production (shared ownership model: Platform owns design & evolution; Site Reliability

Engineering (SRE) owns runtime reliability).

• Eliminate toil and duplication across products so cross-functional squads can self-serve deployments, scaling, and observability without reinventing infrastructure.

• Apply Theory of Constraints (TOC) to platform adoption bottlenecks and drive quarterly governance reviews with the Platform Steering Committee.

Required Qualifications

• Strong demonstrable experience building internal platforms or developer-experience tools at

scale.

• Strong background in Kubernetes, GitOps, Infrastructure-as-Code, and self-service portals.

• Product-management mindset (roadmap ownership, customer feedback loops).

• Experience integrating AI tools into engineering workflows while preserving human oversight.

• Familiarity with secure development hygiene (NIST 800-218).

• Cloud-native and automation-first engineering culture.

• Strong leadership
