- Lead the modernization of CI/CD, DevSecOps, and developer platforms across AI, data, and software engineering, including automated build, test, release, and self-service tooling.
- Drive source-control modernization, including the transition to Git-based development, and enable secure AI-assisted engineering workflows.
- Own the reliability, availability, performance, and cost efficiency of AI data and developer platforms with clear service-level objectives and delivery metrics.
- Build, lead, and develop a global organization of data engineers, knowledge engineers, platform and DevOps engineers, and architects.
What you'll need
- Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field.
- 20+ years of progressive experience in software engineering, data platforms, developer platforms, DevOps, or AI/ML platforms.
- 10+ years of experience leading senior technical teams, managers, and architects, including geographically distributed teams.
- Proven experience building and operating enterprise-scale data or developer platforms and leading large-scale modernization initiatives.
- Deep expertise in data architecture and governance, CI/CD, release automation, Git-based development, automated testing, DevSecOps, and artifact and dependency management.
- Hands-on experience with Perforce, Git, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, Azure DevOps, or similar source-control ecosystems.
Nice to have
- Experience delivering enterprise knowledge graph and ontology programs, including semantic standards.
- Experience modernizing legacy engineering environments into CI/CD-driven, Git-based developer platforms.
- Experience with vector databases, RAG, agent platforms, or AI/ML operations.
- Familiarity with platform tooling such as Jenkins, Tekton, Argo, or Artifactory.
- Semiconductor or advanced manufacturing industry experience.

How we counted: 1027 open Infrastructure/Platform Software (Infrastructure Platform) roles from 93 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 10 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Software, Firmware & Systems family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
