Director, Platform Engineering

Aline is hiring a Director of Platform Engineering to own the infrastructure, CI/CD, and reliability practices that support its connected platform. The role leads modernization and consolidation of cloud and legacy systems, production reliability, security and cost strategy, engineering tooling, and a platform engineering team.

Responsibilities:

• Own our multi-tenant Azure infrastructure strategy, including the ongoing consolidation of multiple legacy tenants onto a single, well-governed foundation
• Own the operation and gradual modernization of our legacy estate, including VM-based and Windows Server workloads, while managing the path from legacy to modern platforms
• Lead infrastructure-as-code and configuration management practices (Terraform and Ansible) and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), raising the bar on consistency, security, and repeatability across environments
• Own production reliability: monitoring, alerting, incident response, and the practices that reduce how often things break and how fast we recover when they do
• Drive our GitHub Enterprise consolidation and broader engineering tooling strategy, so every team is working from a consistent, well-managed foundation
• Lead identity and access infrastructure strategy, including our ongoing migration to modern identity platforms
• Partner with Security & Compliance leadership to ensure infrastructure practices meet the bar required for a platform handling sensitive resident and clinical data
• Own cloud cost strategy and optimization, balancing performance and reliability against infrastructure spend
• Build and lead a team of platform/infrastructure engineers, including hiring, mentoring, and developing engineers into senior and staff-level contributors
• Evaluate and introduce modern platform engineering practices and tooling (e.g. feature flagging, developer self-service) that reduce friction for every engineering team at Aline

Requirements:

• Proven experience leading a platform engineering, DevOps, or SRE function
• having built or scaled the function rather than just operating an existing one
• Deep hands-on background in cloud infrastructure (Azure strongly preferred), infrastructure-as-code and configuration management (Terraform and Ansible), and CI/CD
• Hands-on experience with legacy platforms, especially VM-based workloads and Windows Server environments, and the judgment to bridge the old world and the modern one: keeping legacy systems stable and secure while migrating them to cloud-native approaches
• Strong track record on production reliability: incident response, observability, and reducing operational toil
• Experience consolidating or migrating infrastructure across multiple environments or tenants
• Comfortable operating as both a working leader and a people leader: able to go deep technically while also building and developing a team
• Experience partnering closely with Security/Compliance functions
• Comfortable in a lean, fast-moving mid-market environment where this role owns outcomes end-to-end rather than a narrow slice of a much larger org
• Azure
• ideally in a multi-tenant SaaS context
• ideally in an environment handling sensitive or regulated data
• Bonus: experience in a multi-product or multi-tenant SaaS company that has grown through acquisition or consolidation
