Position Summary:
At Miovision, we are engineering the future of smart transportation, and right now, we are laying down the asphalt for our most ambitious infrastructure project yet. We are building a governed, API-first technology platform that will act as the ultimate express lane for how we build software, enabling new experiences for customers, partners, and AI agents. We are looking for a Senior Director, Platform to serve as the master traffic controller for this massive transformation. Reporting to the SVP of Software Engineering & Technology, you will build the foundational highways that our entire product ecosystem travels on. You will steer our engineering organization away from gridlocked, application-centric development and into a high-speed, contract-driven future. If you are a hands-on leader ready to pave the way for AI-assisted innovation and ensure our platform capabilities always get the green light, it is time to take the wheel!
Objectives and Responsibilities:
Platform Strategy & Architectural Foundation
•
Own the engineering strategy and translate our Platform North Star into clear architectural priorities for both human and AI-driven use cases.
•
Spearhead the transition from application-centric integration toward a governed, contract-driven, API-first platform.
•
Partner with Architecture to establish a durable technical foundation that protects long-term integrity while pragmatically supporting near-term delivery.
•
Drive an engineering culture where teams naturally build on the platform because it is the absolute fastest and most effective path to delivering value.
Organizational Leadership & Scaling
•
Lead, coach, and aggressively grow the Platform Engineering organization by recruiting top-tier talent with deep expertise in APIs, distributed systems, and AI.
•
Build a highly resilient team culture grounded in ownership, curiosity, technical excellence, and high-velocity delivery.
•
Lead the shift toward platform-first ways of working, building alignment, adoption, and accountability across the broader Engineering department.
•
Create an environment where senior engineers are highly empowered to make decisions while remaining perfectly aligned with a shared architectural direction.
Platform as a Product (First-Party, Third-Party & Ecosystem Enablement)
•
Partner with Product Leadership to operate the Platform exactly like a customer-facing product, treating internal developers, external partners, and AI agents as your core customers.
•
Establish API contracts as first-class products that natively support authentication, observability, usage metering, and scalable commercial models from day one.
•
Build a governed, unified entry point for Miovision’s strategic capabilities, utilizing adoption data and developer feedback to continuously improve the ecosystem.
•
Identify and build reusable, standardized capabilities—partnering with Data Science to integrate models and data products—eliminating isolated alternatives across the company.
Technical Leadership & Hands-On Builder
•
Remain deeply engaged in the technology—reviewing architecture, exploring code, and prototyping solutions alongside your engineers to blast through ambiguity.
•
Build the technical foundations for AI-assisted development, personally utilizing modern agentic tools and establishing AI-native practices across your team.
•
Partner with Developer Operations to build automation and tooling that makes standardized, scalable architecture the absolute easiest path for our engineers.
•
Bring razor-sharp technical judgment to complex distributed systems, helping teams practically evolve existing architecture without requiring massive, disruptive rewrites.
Operational Excellence, Reliability & Trust
•
Establish world-class reliability, observability, security, and operational readiness as the fundamental DNA of all Platform capabilities.
•
Ensure human and agent identity, delegated authorization, auditability, and guardrails are natively built into the platform rather than siloed across individual teams.
•
Define strict lifecycle, compatibility, and service health standards so consumers can depend on Platform services with absolute confidence.
•
Ensure the Platform seamlessly scales alongside Miovision’s rapidly growing products, customer base, and engineering organization without multiplying operational complexity.
The Ideal Profile:
•
The Engineering Veteran: You bring 15+ years of software engineering experience with a heavy focus on platform engineering, distributed systems, and large-scale architecture.
•
The Organization Builder: You have a proven track record of successfully leading, scaling, and coaching senior engineering teams in highly complex, multi-product environments.
•
The API Architect: You boast deep technical expertise in API design, microservices, contract governance, and full API lifecycle management.
•
The Platform Product Thinker: You treat platforms exactly like a product. Experience monetizing a platform, scaling a marketplace, or building a third-party developer ecosystem is strongly preferred.
•
The AI-Native Leader: You have hands-on experience executing platform strategies that fundamentally change how engineering teams use AI to build, verify, and deliver software (including exposure to MCP and machine-readable interfaces).
•
The Hands-On Builder: You are a highly credible technical leader who is just as comfortable exploring code and prototyping a solution as you are driving an executive strategy meeting.
•
The Cloud Heavyweight: You have deep, practical familiarity with cloud-native architectures (AWS), Kubernetes, modern CI/CD, and languages like Java, Python, or Node.js.
•
The Transformation Driver: You have demonstrated experience successfully driving massive architectural or engineering operating-model shifts within an organization.
•
The Operations Sentinel: You possess a profound understanding of reliability, telemetry, security, and operational excellence in massive, high-stakes production systems.
•
The Strategic Diplomat: You wield excellent communication and influence skills, capable of partnering flawlessly with Product Management, Architecture, and C-suite stakeholders.
•
The Pragmatic Visionary: You excel at systems thinking—perfectly balancing the need for long-term architectural integrity with the reality of pragmatic, incremental delivery.
Your Rewards & Well-being:
We invest in our team with benefits designed for modern life and true work-life balance.
•
Comprehensive Coverage: Your well-being is covered from day one with comprehensive health benefits, 24/7 virtual healthcare access, and dedicated wellness programs.
•
Financial Future: Build for tomorrow with our RRSP/401K Matching Plan and share in the company’s success through our Variable Incentive Plan.
•
