You are a leader that people turn to when they want to build something new as you can align with company priorities and processes, or even create new ones when necessary.  You have a mix of skills that focus on event driven architecture and software delivery automation.

What You’ll Do

As an Engineering Manager in the Delivery Pipelines team within the Release and Delivery Engineering organization, you’ll be joining a group that is responsible for building a truly global, self-service cloud platform (PaaS) to enable DTC’s growing number of engineering teams to build, test, deploy, and manage the complete operational life cycle of their services in a fully autonomous fashion. Specifically you will be leading a team responsible for creating a delivery system that other engineering teams will use to automate the delivery of their application at scale. You will help drive technical decision-making, particularly with regard to the architectural direction of the platform components for building software. Your team is responsible for being the glue between build and deployment and will need to integrate with several other software development tools.  Your team focuses on providing a simple process and set of tools for application teams to leverage so that they can build and deliver their application with quality and velocity.
