For exceptional talent, Evotix offers something rare-the pace of a growth company, the scale to make a real difference, and the opportunity to influence strategy, technology and outcomes at a global level.\nAt Evotix, we're creating the future of workplace health, safety and wellbeing-and we need ELITE people to help us do it. People who pursue Excellence, show Leadership, deliver Impact, earn Trust, and Empower those around them.\nRole purpose\nThe Director of Platform Engineering is the single accountable owner for the platform and data engineering capabilities used across every product domain in the business. The role consolidates Platform Engineering and Data Platform under one senior leader, and runs those capabilities as internal products with named service expectations, a published roadmap, and a regular review cadence with Domain Directors. This is a new role, created to separate architectural authority from operational delivery. The Chief Architect sets technical direction; this role owns the delivery, reliability, and adoption of the shared capabilities that direction depends on. The two roles are peers.\nReporting and scope\nDirect reports: Platform Engineering Manager, Data Platform Lead. Indirect organisation of approximately 15 engineers at steady state.\nInternal customers: Three product domains (360, Assure and Learn) plus internal engineering and operations teams.\nPeer relationships: Chief Architect, Domain Directors, Product Directors, Head of Business Technology\nKey responsibilities\nRun shared capabilities as products. Define service expectations, roadmaps, and adoption metrics for Platform Engineering and Data Platform. Be the single named owner for operational performance: incident response, SLOs, capacity, cost-to-serve, and roadmap delivery.\nEarn the trust of Domain Directors. Treat domain teams as customers. Establish a regular review cadence with each Domain Director. Where a shared capability is not fit for a domain's needs, lead the work to fix it rather than defending the status quo.\nPartner with the Chief Architect. Translate architectural direction (multi-tenancy, AI paved roads, Technology Radar) into deliverable platform capabilities on a documented timeline. Surface implementation realities that should inform the architectural roadmap.\nManage cloud cost. Own the FinOps practice for the platform estate. Drive unit cost down without compromising reliability and give domain teams the visibility they need to manage their own consumption.\nBuild the team. Coach, develop, and where needed recruit the sub-function leads. Build a team that can operate the function without the Director being the bottleneck for every decision.\nWhat success looks like at twelve months\nPlatform Engineering and Data Platform operate under published service expectations, with a regular review cadence with each Domain Director.\nIncident response, SLO attainment, and cloud unit cost are tracked, reported, and trending in the right direction.\nPlatform compliance evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and IRAP is generated as a by-product of normal operations rather than as a separate audit project.\nThe two sub-function leads are operating as a coherent leadership team with clear ownership of their domains.\nEssential experience\nFive or more years of engineering leadership, with at least three years owning a platform, infrastructure, or shared services function at director level or above.\nDemonstrated experience running engineering capabilities as internal products, including setting service expectations, managing roadmaps, and being accountable for adoption.\nTrack record in a multi-product SaaS environment, with credible experience of the trade-offs between centralised platform investment and domain team autonomy.\nDirect accountability for AWS cloud infrastructure at scale, including FinOps practices and unit cost management.\nExperience as the engineering owner for at least one of SOC 2, ISO 27001, or an equivalent regulated compliance regime.\nTrack record of building and developing engineering teams, including hiring at managerial level.\nDesirable experience\nExposure to data platform engineering, including the operational realities of running analytics and data pipelines as a shared capability.\nExperience in EHS, GRC, or another regulated B2B SaaS domain.\nExperience leading a transition from federated to centralised shared services, including the change management involved.\nHow you work\nComfortable with productive friction. Architecture and delivery are inherently in tension. You see that tension as where the work gets done, not as a problem to be eliminated.\nCustomer mindset toward internal teams. You earn adoption by being genuinely useful, not by mandate. You would rather change a shared capability than win an argument about it.\nOperationally credible. You can be in the detail of an incident or a roadmap commitment when the situation requires it, without making yourself the bottleneck for normal operations.\nDirect. You give and receive feedback clearly, and you are willing to disagree with peers in the room rather than after the meeting.\nWhy join Evotix?\nCompetitive Compensation: Enjoy a competitive base salary and company-based performance bonus.\nTime to Recharge: Unlimited Annual Leave because we trust you to balance your work and wellbeing. (AMER/EMEA)\nFinancial Future: Generous tiered 401k plan that increases over time. (AMER)\nSupport for You: Access to our Employee Assistance Program, including mental health, legal, and financial guidance.\nGrowth Opportunities: Educational benefits to help you keep learning and growing.\nTeam Culture: Regular team events, an inclusive environment, and a shared commitment to making an impact.\nReady to Make a Difference?\nIf you’re a bold, results-driven leader who thrives on challenges, loves scaling success, and is passionate about making a difference-we want to hear from you!\nThank you for your interest. Please note, we are not seeking support from external recruitment agencies at this time. Direct applications from candidates are warmly welcomed.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6277,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Annual leave","Growth opportunities"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["ESG & Carbon Accounting Software","Manufacturing & Industrial Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-29T19:22:22Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":79,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.877,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":20,"expected_fill_days":49,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/evotix-director-of-platform-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/evotix-director-of-platform-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T15:56:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":18105,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673333},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673333"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fevotix-director-of-platform-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fevotix-director-of-platform-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fevotix-director-of-platform-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/evotix-director-of-platform-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fevotix-director-of-platform-engineering"}]}
