Director of Cloud Platform Engineering

Join LSEG as the Director of Cloud Platform Engineering, where you will lead the strategy, engineering, and operation of our core cloud platforms. This deeply technical leadership role requires expertise in cloud engineering, architecture, and product management. You will work across various teams to build and evolve cloud platforms as long-lived, evergreen products, with a focus on self-service internal developer platforms. Additionally, you will drive modern Site Reliability Engineering practices and establish platform observability. This role offers the opportunity to shape the future of Cloud Platform Engineering at LSEG and make a significant impact on engineering velocity, resilience, and business outcomes.

• Lead the strategy, engineering, and operation of LSEG’s core cloud platforms, ensuring they meet the organization's needs for resilience, security, observability, performance, scalability, and developer experience.
• Drive the development of self-service internal developer platforms, enabling thousands of engineers to consume platform capabilities through well-defined platform products that accelerate delivery while maintaining safety, compliance, and reliability.
• Provide deep technical leadership across public cloud platforms, shaping standards, architectures, and guardrails for enterprise-scale cloud engineering, and champion automation-first engineering through infrastructure as code, CI/CD, policy as code, and developer self-service.
• Demonstrated ability to drive technological and cultural change towards modern engineering practices (e.g. automation-first, platform enablement)
• Proven experience treating platforms as products, including roadmap ownership, lifecycle thinking, and customer-centric design
• Solid grounding in cloud networking, identity, security, governance, and compliance in enterprise environments
• Experience in Site Reliability Engineering, production operations, and platform observability
• Proven experience leading large-scale platform engineering, cloud engineering, or infrastructure engineering organisations
• Experience managing significant budgets and delivery priorities
• Experience in Cloud Cost Management and FinOps
• Deep technical expertise in public cloud platforms, with strong hands-on experience in at least one major CSP and broad understanding across others
• Experience building internal developer platforms and self-service capabilities, with a focus on developer experience and adoption
• Strong experience defining release frameworks, testing strategies, and deployment models for shared platforms
• Understanding of Kubernetes and CNCF ecosystem tooling, with practical experience designing or operating cloud-native platforms
• Strong people leadership experience, including leading managers and developing senior technical talent
• Deep understanding of infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and automation-first engineering
• Excellent communication and senior stakeholder (C-Level) management skills
• Experience in enterprise-scale multi-cloud environments
• Familiarity with CNCF ecosystem tools (e.g. service mesh, observability stacks, policy engines)
• Experience in regulated, high-availability environments (e.g. financial services)
• Experience in modern software engineering practices and languages (Python, Go)
• Experience enabling AI-augmented engineering teams, embedding AI-assisted tooling into the development lifecycle
• Experience building or enabling platforms that support AI/ML workloads
