About The Role

The Senior Director, Cloud Platforms will own Magnit's migration from on-premise infrastructure into the public cloud and build the cloud platform that our engineering organization runs on. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will set the strategy, then work shoulder-to-shoulder with your teams in the code, the pipelines, and the Kubernetes manifests. You will own the data center exit roadmap, the AWS-first landing zones underneath it, and the paved-road developer platform (GitLab CI/CD, Argo CD, EKS, Terraform) that makes doing the right thing the easy thing for product teams. Reporting to the Chief Information Officer, you will partner across Engineering, Security, Data, and Operations to move Magnit to an API-first, cloud-native architecture while improving reliability, security posture, and unit economics along the way.

• Act as the integration layer across infrastructure, application engineering, security, networking, finance, and vendor partners to keep migration waves on schedule and de-risked.
• Retire on-premise footprint on a committed timeline, and report progress, risk, and dependencies to executive leadership in plain business terms.

Platform Engineering & Developer Experience

• Run the cloud platform as an internal product with product teams as its customers — not as a ticket queue.
• Deliver golden paths for service creation, CI/CD, secrets, observability, and security through reusable templates, modules, and self-service tooling, with sensible escape hatches for teams with genuine edge cases.
• Own GitLab-based source control and CI/CD standards, Kubernetes manifests, and GitOps delivery via Argo CD.
• Drive infrastructure as code and policy as code as the only way infrastructure changes, eliminating ma...
