Head of Platform Engineering, Reliability & Control

Interested in joining one of Canadas top-performing asset managers We are seeking a Head of Platform Engineering Reliability & Control to lead our horizontal engineering function and shared control plane. In this role you will shape a more connected observable and automated technology ecosystem spanning data integration and front-to-back platforms. You will define the architecture standards and operating model for command-and-control capabilities SRE practices process orchestration release governance and automation. Partnering closely with Infrastructure Security Service Desk Data and platform teams you will improve reliability transparency and change governance across the enterprise. Success will be measured by stronger platform stability faster incident detection and recovery more predictable releases and reduced manual effort. Weoperateon a hybrid model with three days a week in-office tofacilitateteam collaboration.

What You Will Do

• Own and evolve the enterprise control plane architectureestablishinga scalable command-and-control layer that provides real-time visibility into system health dependencies data flows and operational risk.

• Define and implement SRE and observability standards enabling proactive monitoring faster incident detection improved root cause analysis and consistent reliability practices across distributed systems and platforms.

• Lead release governance and change management frameworks ensuring deployments are predictable auditable and aligned with risk and compliance expectations across a complex regulated technology environment.

• Drive enterprise-wide automation by implementing AI-enabled monitoring and process orchestration capabilities that reduce manual intervention improve signal quality and increase operational efficiency at scale.

• Improve integration reliability across APIs event streams batch workflows and vendor platforms reducing failure rates improving SLA adherence and strengthening end-to-end data pipeline performance.

• Standardize developer experience byestablishingcommon tooling CI/CD pipelines infrastructure patterns and engineering practices that enable teams to build test and deploy systems consistently and efficiently.

• Partner with Infrastructure Security Service Desk Data teams and external vendors to improve production health reduce incident frequency and minimize the blast radius of operational failures.

• Establish and track performance metrics including SLOs MTTR deployment frequency and automation rates using insights to continuously improve platform reliability scalability and change predictability.

What You Bring

• Proven senior leadership experience in platform engineering SRE DevOps or engineering operations witha track recordof building and scaling shared engineering capabilities across complex federated technology environments.

• Deepexpertisein at least two areas such as SRE/observability platform engineering systems integration release engineering or process automation with the ability to apply them pragmatically at enterprise scale.

• Strong understanding of distributed systems architecture including APIs event-driven design data flows and cross-system dependencies with experience improving resilience and performance across interconnected platforms.

• Hands-on experience implementing CI/CD pipelines infrastructure as code containerization orchestration platforms and modern deployment strategies that enable frequent reliable and low-risk software releases.

• Proficiencywith observability and monitoring tools such as Datadog Grafana Prometheus ELK/OpenSearch or cloud-native platforms with experience designing enterprise-wide telemetry and alerting strategies.

• Experienceoperatingwithin regulated environmentsdesigningand implementing change controls audit-ready processes and governance frameworks that balance risk management with engineering velocity.

• Familiarity with workflow orchestration and process intelligence tools such as ServiceNow Jira Camunda Temporal or similar platforms along with a practical understanding of AIOps and automation trends.

• A structured engineering-led leadership style with strong stakeholder management skills capable of influencing across teams and driving alignment without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy or slowing delivery
