Manager, Cloud Engineering

Responsibilities

• Lead and develop a team of Developer Experience engineers, setting technical standards, coaching engineers across seniority levels, and building a team culture with high standards for code quality and a strong InnerSource contribution ethic.
• Own the strategic roadmap for Lennar’s Spotify Portal, the internal developer platform every engineering team uses to scaffold, catalog, and operate their services; prioritize investments in templates, plugins, and platform capabilities that reduce friction and accelerate delivery across the organization.
• Drive platform adoption across all Lennar Technology Group domains; ensure teams are onboarded to the golden-path templates, CI/CD workflows, and platform standards that DevEx maintains.
• Lead the GitHub Enterprise administration strategy for Lennar’s engineering organization, including org governance, access provisioning, and enterprise policies.
• Oversee the reusable GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow library that powers every Portal-scaffolded service; set quality gates, security scanning, and deployment standards so teams inherit best practices without configuring them from scratch.
• Govern the HCP Terraform platform: workspace provisioning, module registry, and no-code module infrastructure; drive the standards work that eliminates toil, reduces support burden, and gives application teams a reliable self-service path to cloud infrastructure.
• Lead the application security tooling strategy: drive the GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) rollout as the standard AppSec platform, consolidate and rationalize code scanning tooling, and ensure security scanning is embedded in every CI/CD pipeline through the shared workflow library.
• Champion Lennar’s InnerSource model by growing the contributor community around the portal, templates, plugins, and CI/CD workflows; define contribution standards, maintain the governance framework, and serve as leadership sponsor for the Cloud Contributors program.
• Define and track DORA metrics, developer productivity KPIs, and platform health signals through the DevEx Metrics dashboard; quantify the value of platform investments.
• Communicate platform and infrastructure work clearly to executive and non-technical audiences, covering tradeoffs, investment rationale, and risks so stakeholders can make informed decisions.
• Establish and continuously improve the team’s operating cadence: sprint planning, retrospectives, platform reviews, documentation standards, and support rotations.
• Build the processes that let the team scale its platform portfolio without degrading quality or response time.
• Manage vendor relationships for the DevEx toolchain, including Spotify, GitHub, HashiCorp/HCP, and others, covering contract renewals, license management, and procurement decisions aligned with engineering strategy.
• Represent Developer Experience in architecture reviews, incident retrospectives, and cross-functional planning forums; ensure DevEx roadmap investments are visible and understood at the Cloud Engineering leadership level.
• Recruit, develop, and retain strong DevEx engineering talent, covering hiring decisions, leveling, performance management, and career progression for direct reports; build a team culture that attracts engineers who care about developer productivity.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field preferred.
• 7+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 3 years in a people management role leading DevOps or Developer Experience teams.
• Proven track record managing DevOps or Developer Experience teams responsible for shared tooling, CI/CD platforms, and internal developer platforms, with direct ownership of the platform roadmap and adoption strategy.
• Deep familiarity with Internal Developer Portal (IDP) concepts and platforms; hands-on experience with Backstage or Spotify Portal preferred, including software templates, service catalog design, and plugin architecture.
• Strong understanding of good software engineering practices: code quality, testing standards, trunk-based development, CI/CD pipeline design, security scanning, and the developer workflows that enable teams to ship reliably.
• Proven track record of leadership in Agile environments, with excellent communication and collaboration skills, and a passion for mentoring and empowering team members.
• Solid knowledge of GitHub Enterprise Cloud administration: org governance, SSO/SCIM, branch protection policies, GitHub Actions, and GitHub Advanced Security.
• Working knowledge of HashiCorp tooling: Terraform for infrastructure as code and HCP Terraform workspace management.
• Familiarity with AWS services relevant to a developer platform: IAM, SSM Parameter Store, ECR, EKS, Lambda, and CodeArtifact.
• Experience owning and communicating an engineering roadmap: translating OKRs into quarterly goals, managing competing stakeholder demands, and making the case for platform investments to senior leadership.
• Track record of driving adoption of shared developer platforms across a multi-team engineering organization, with measurable reduction in developer friction or support overhead.
• Familiarity with DORA metrics and how to use developer productivity data to guide platform investment decisions and demonstrate team value.
• Strong communication skills; able to represent platform decisions in architecture reviews and articulate technical tradeoffs clearly to non-technical leaders.
• Bonus: Hands-on experience building Backstage plugins or custom scaffolder actions; experience with InnerSource or open-source community governance; familiarity with AppSec tooling lifecycles including GHAS, Dependabot, or CodeQL; experience in a large distributed engineering organization (500+ engineers) where platform standardization at scale was a central challenge.
