We're thrilled by the opportunity to build the future we want to see, with anyone willing to join us.
Slalom Build is looking for a Director to join our team in the Platform Engineering (PE) capability. Our PE engineers build the secure automation capabilities that enable our application and data engineers to unveil their products to the world. Our goal is to create the platform to make a product smart, secure, and fast, while minimising toil.
Life as a Platform Engineering Director:
In PE, a Director is a steward of their capability and is responsible for development of services and capacity to deliver. Directors develop strong relationships with different teams to drive capability-specific opportunities and manage teams to ensure quality outcomes. Additionally, Directors manage multi-level reporting structures and are responsible for their capability within a single Slalom Build location. Directors are experts at delivery and fill roles ranging from dedicated senior architect to SME roles to engagement leadership and delivery excellence. Specifically, you will:
* Act as a senior delivery lead for large scale, multi-functional product teams creating purpose-built software products for our clients.
* Play an engagement management role for projects and manage team performance, budgeting, and client satisfaction.
* Support, mentor, and coach as People Manager leader of individual contributor engineers.
* Provide additional mentorship and coaching of engineers and leaders across PE and other capabilities in your location.
* Lead and drive sales pursuits for modern engineering projects.
* Act as a direct line of contact for PE for other Slalom capabilities and markets.
* Conduct technical and behavioural interviews for all Slalom capability recruiting.
* Lead PE-wide events and initiatives.
* Help grow our culture of learning by taking part in and coordinating opportunities such as presenting at technical conferences, community groups, writing blog articles, and contributing to partner-coordinated workshops.
What You'll Bring:
Directors in PE bring a proven track record in building and deploying highly scalable public cloud-based solutions using modern DevOps techniques. You'll showcase your experience in all phases of product development, software development and testing lifecycles regardless of cloud platform. In addition, you'll leverage experience in established technology and product departments with mature program management processes and standards for both Agile (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, XP, and Lean) and waterfall project methodologies.
As a Director you will lead sales pursuits and drive business operations. Your experience in people management will enable you to successfully lead a large team, recruit & retain top talent, and foster a culture of inclusiveness. Stitching together your leadership capabilities, your client presence, and business insight will ensure your success in managing large projects and programs.
