Summary
Infrastructure & Platform Engineering: designs, builds, and operates the underlying cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure landing zones, VPC networking, virtualization) and internal developer platforms (self-service IDPs) that software teams build on. Distinct from the sibling SRE focus (which centers on reliability SLOs, on-call rotations, and incident response as its primary mandate) and from a pure DevOps tooling focus — this focus owns the platform-as-product surface (Terraform/CloudFormation modules, Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD foundations) and the coherent architecture into which dozens of services fit.
This level — P7 P7 — Staff / Distinguished Professional
Staff-level individual contributor: owns architecture across systems, sets technical direction, and multiplies the output of multiple teams without managing people.
