As the manager of the Environment Tooling team, your passion will be coaching and building a talented team of platform engineers while balancing mission-critical operational stability with bold, strategic initiatives. You will lead a team of six engineers and report to the Senior Director, Platform Engineering.

You will join a collaborative engineering community that embraces diverse perspectives, isn't afraid to push boundaries, and is passionate about helping our customers and each other succeed.
