Expedia Group is looking to solve the problem of increasing developer velocity, reducing operational risk, and optimizing cloud spend by shaping the foundational platform that powers customer-facing services across brands.
Requirements
- 10+ years professional software engineering experience with significant hands-on experience building and operating distributed cloud services
- Strong, demonstrable experience building and running platforms on AWS (EKS, ECS, EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, ELB/ALB, Auto Scaling)
- Deep hands-on experience with containerization and Kubernetes at scale (EKS or comparable)
- Practical experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and Helm charts
- Proven record of contributing production code and platform automation (languages such as Go, Python, Java, or similar)
- Experience designing for resilience, observability, security and operational automation
- Familiarity with CI/CD tooling and developer workflows (Spinnaker, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar)
Responsibilities
- Define the technical strategy, roadmap and standards for cloud infrastructure and platform capabilities (container runtime, orchestration, networking, CI/CD, observability, security, IaC)
- Lead migration and platform adoption efforts (containerization, Kubernetes/EKS, runtime platform) and drive roadmap execution end-to-end
- Be an active code and IaC contributor (Terraform/CloudFormation/Helm, platform services, automation) and perform design/code reviews
- Design scalable, resilient, and secure infrastructure patterns for microservices, data stores, caching, and messaging
- Build and improve CI/CD pipelines, release automation, testing strategies, and safe deployment practices

- Lead capacity planning, performance tuning, and traffic engineering for high-scale workloads
Other
- Mentor and grow senior and mid-level engineers; identify high-potential talent and raise engineering standards
- Collaborate closely with product, security, platform, and operations stakeholders to align technical solutions with business goals and compliance requirements
- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-team technical initiatives and influence architectural decisions
- Strong communication skills and experience mentoring engineers
- Prior platform engineering, SRE, or infrastructure leadership at scale
