I measure adoption, developer satisfaction, lead time, reliability, and support burden, and iterate with embedded customer feedback rather than enforcing tooling through policy alone. How would you prioritize investments among cloud reliability, technical debt, developer experience, and AI tooling? I would use a transparent portfolio model that weighs customer and business impact, risk, engineering time saved, and strategic enablement. Reliability and security risks receive explicit thresholds, while developer-experience and AI initiatives are validated through measurable pilots before scaling investment. What metrics would you use to demonstrate that the platform organization is succeeding? I would combine DORA-style delivery metrics with platform adoption, developer-experience survey data, onboarding time, service reliability, cloud unit cost, security remediation age, and the percentage of product-team effort spent on undifferentiated platform work. The metrics should connect platform work to outcomes product leaders care about. How do you lead managers while still maintaining strong technical and architectural direction? I set a clear operating model with decision rights, architecture principles, outcome-based goals, and regular reviews. I coach managers to own execution and people development, while I remain engaged in the highest-leverage cross-organizational decisions, talent planning, and long-term technical strategy. How would you approach an AI platform that includes model gateways, evaluation infrastructure, observability, and safety controls? I would establish a secure, provider-agnostic foundation with access controls, cost visibility, logging, and policy guardrails, then deliver reusable evaluation and observability capabilities. Use cases would be prioritized with product teams, and each rollout would be measured for quality, safety, cost, and demonstrable time savings. We’re all about helping brands turn ideas into impact. Frontify’s brand platform transforms how teams organize digital assets, collaborate on projects, and create engaging campaigns. Our people empower thousands of marketers and designers — including teams at Uber, Microsoft, Volkswagen, and Telefónica — to build engaging brands. With headquarters in St. Gallen, Switzerland, and offices in London and New York City, we share a vibrant culture built on creativity, collaboration, inclusion, and joy. And we’re on the lookout for new team members to share our vision. If you’re ready for a brand-new adventure, keep reading! Your team Your new team is a group of motivated, collaborative, and innovative Engineers. Working on-site, hybrid, or fully remote, they come together to create and evolve a well-loved product but always keep room for new ideas and approaches. Outside of work, they’re parents, gamers, bookworms, adrenaline junkies, and so much more. Your Mission As the Vice President of Platform Engineering, you lead a team of around 20 engineers and 4 managers across backend platform, frontend platform, DevOps, architecture, accessibility, and quality assurance. You set the platform technology strategy and own its execution. Every product engineer builds on the platform you own, from cloud infrastructure to the internal developer platform to our AI tooling. Your mandate is to remove friction at the source, so stream-aligned product teams ship more, at higher quality. Growing the people on your team matters as much as the platform itself. You mentor your engineers and managers, and you provide them with the support to develop in their roles and careers. This role reports to the CPO/ CPTO and sits on the Product leadership team. Your closest partner is the VP of Product Engineering. You jointly set the priorities that determine where the platform invests, so the work you ship aligns with real product needs. ### What you’ll own Strategic platform leadership You bring a strategic lens to the platform org. Reading where teams lose time, you identify leverage points and turn them into a clear, prioritized roadmap so the org invests in the highest-impact work first. Tech debt is a deliberate choice in your hands. You make the technical calls that reduce friction and let product teams ship faster at higher quality. The platform’s security posture is yours. You surface platform-level vulnerabilities and close them before they become incidents. The platform surfaces you’re accountable for * Internal Developer platform (IDP) and tooling that lowers cognitive load for stream-aligned teams. * AI platform: model gateway over external providers, eval infrastructure, agent frameworks, LLM observability, safety controls. * Infrastructure, cloud, and DevOps: reliability, scalability, cost efficiency. * Frontend platform: design system, component library, shared build tooling. * Backend platform: shared services, APIs, data infrastructure. * Quality engineering: test automation, eval frameworks, quality standards. * Architecture and technical standards across the engineering org. * Security posture and platform-level vulnerabilities, ensuring they’re accounted for and attended to. ### What success looks like * You measure developer experience and act on what the numbers tell you. * Product teams spend more time on product and less on undifferentiated platform work. * AI tooling reaches everyday use across teams, and you can show where it saves time. * Tech debt stays under control, with a deliberate strategy for keeping it in check. * You track security and compliance gaps and close them on a known timeline. * Engineers choose to use the platform you build because it makes their work easier, not because policy forces them onto it. ### Your responsibilities * You can work remotely from anywhere within the EU, including the UK or join us on-site in our St. Gallen office, with the flexibility to choose your best work environment. * You’ve led platform or infrastructure engineering at scale, with 12+ years in engineering and 5+ years leading other leaders. * You’ve built or matured an internal developer platform that engineers have adopted by choice. * You’re deeply versed in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, reliability, and cost management. * You’ve set architectural direction across multiple teams and made it stick. * You can reason about AI and LLM platform needs: gateways, evals, observability, and safety tooling. * You come from a background of fast-scaling SaaS product companies. * You stay curious about AI and experiment with it in how teams work. * You hire well, set clear standards, and give teams room to own their work. * You’re fluent in English. ### Compensation ### Additional Information We understand that every candidate’s experience is different.
