"I can succeed as a Lead Platform Engineer at Capital Group."

As a senior individual contributor within theBanzai SDLC / DevOps team, you are first and foremost a software developer and technologist who builds, optimizes, and modernizes the toolchains that engineering teams depend on every day. You will design and deliver enterprisegrade developer tooling-treating the SDLC as a product and developers as your primary consumers-while operating at the intersection ofdeveloper experience, platform engineering, and build automation.

You will help evolve the core SDLC toolchain endtoend: CI/CD pipeline orchestration, codequality and staticanalysis, artifact and package management, and the buildautomation frameworks that tie them together. You approach these systems as a solutions expert-architecting quality gates, artifact promotion strategies, dependency governance, and pipeline patterns that are fast, reliable, and selfservice.

You will also help define and deliver standardized SDLC capabilities-including automation, security integration, observability, and AIassisted development-that reduce cognitive load while preserving flexibility for teams to innovate. These capabilities will be delivered through opinionated golden paths, reusable patterns, and clear ways of working that scale across business units.

A core responsibility of this role is handson adoption andenterprise enablement of AIassisted software development. You will actively use, evaluate, and push the boundaries of tools such asClaude Code, GitHub Copilot, and similar AI development environments-integrating them into your own daily workflow first-and then harden and operationalize them as firstclass engineering capabilities. This includes building theenterprise controls, guardrails, and usage patterns required to safely adopt these tools at scale, while demonstrating fundamentally new ways of working that improve productivity, quality, and onboarding efficiency.

This role is deeply handson. You will lead through technical authority, working software, and solution design, partnering across Platform Engineering, Architecture, Security, and application teams to ensure solutions are intuitive, scalable, and aligned with enterprise standards.

"I am the person Capital Group is looking for."

• You are a developer at heart who happens to build platforms. You operate as a senior individual contributor (PE5), influencing platform direction, standards, and engineering practices through deep technical expertise rather than formal people management.
• You have built and optimized CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and developer toolchains-not just configured them. You understand build automation deeply (compilation, dependency resolution, artifact lifecycle, caching strategies) and have strong opinions about what makes a toolchain fast, reliable, and developerfriendly.
• You have handson solutionlevel expertise with tools such as:
• Harness.io (pipeline orchestration, deployment strategies, governance policies)
• SonarQube (quality gates, SAST integration, technicaldebt management)
• Package and artifact management (Artifactory, Nexus, or similar; dependency governance and promotion workflows)
• You have experience buildingdeveloper tooling, SDLC platforms, and DevOps capabilities that serve many teams and are operated as longlived platform products.
• You bring strong knowledge of modern software delivery practices, including CI/CD, GitOps, cloudnative platforms, and automated governance.
• You are a practitioner of AIassisted development-you use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot daily and have formed a clear point of view on how they change the way software is built. You have helped (or are ready to help) define enterpriseready patterns for these tools, including:
  • Secure access and identity integration
  • Data handling and prompt context boundaries
  • Cost visibility and usage controls
  • Auditing, logging, and observability
  • Clear "approved ways of working" for developers
  • You have a passion for toolchain optimization and modernization-you actively seek out friction in developer workflows and eliminate it through better automation, smarter defaults, and modern tooling.
  • You are comfortable enabling new engineering ways of working-such as AIaugmented design, implementation, and review-while maintaining Company's expectations for quality, security, and operational rigor.
  • You partner effectively with Product Management, Architecture, Security, and SRE to balance speed, safety, and standardization.
  • You communicate clearly with both technical and nontechnical stakeholders and can translate platform strategy into concrete developer outcomes.
  • You are a continuous learner who actively experiments, evaluates emerging tools, and incorporates learnings into scalable platform capabilities.
  • You hold a bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).

Skills and experience

You bring experience across several of the following areas:

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, or DevOps roles, with a strong foundation as a developer who builds and ships software.
• Developer tooling and SDLC platforms, including shared services, pipelines, and selfservice automation
• AIassisted development tools and practices (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) - as a daily practitioner, not only an evaluator
• Buildingcontrols and guardrails into developer platforms rather than relying on manual process or policy
• Cloud platforms and container orchestration (AWS preferred; Kubernetes and Docker)
• Infrastructure as Code and automation (Terraform or equivalent)
• Software development inTypeScript, Python, Java, or Go - you write production code, not just pipeline YAML
• API and microservice design in distributed systems
• DevOps and DevSecOps practices across the full SDLC
• CI/CD pipeline design and orchestration (Harness.io preferred; GitHub Actions, or similar also valued)
• Code quality and static analysis platforms (SonarQube, SonarCloud, or equivalent)
• Artifact and package management (Sonatype Nexus, Artifactory, or cloudnative registries; dependency governance and promotion strategies)
• Build automation and tooling (Gradle, Maven, npm/yarn, MSBuild, or similar; reproducibility, and performance optimization)
• Observability concepts including metrics, logs, traces, and open standards such asOpenTelemetry
• Technical documentation, including platform standards, architectural designs, and developerfacing guidance
• A track record of modernizing and optimizing SDLC toolchains-replacing manual friction with automation, raising quality bars through better tooling, and institutionalizing new ways of working through welldesigned solutions.
