Director - Platform Engineering (LATAM)

Who You’ll Work With

At Slalom, personal connection meets global scale. Our vision is to enable a world in which everyone loves their work and life. We help organizations of all kinds redefine what’s possible, give shape to the future—and get there. Within Slalom, our Build capability helps customers maximize the value of the software they create. We do this by being fast, effective, high‑quality, and consistent; evolving our software development lifecycle by blending cutting‑edge AI tooling with outcome‑focused strategic thinking; and delivering end‑to‑end to our customers at any scale and at any point in their journey.

About The Role

You will be a Director in our Platform Engineering (PE) discipline, leading a location team of up to 20+ people comprising people managers and individual‑contributor engineers. Your goal is to build the platform that makes products smart, secure, and fast while minimizing toil.

What You’ll Do

• Act as a senior delivery lead for large‑scale, multi‑functional product teams creating purpose‑built software products for our clients.
• Play an engagement‑management role for projects, managing team performance, budgeting, and client satisfaction.
• Support, mentor, and coach as People Manager leader of individual‑contributor engineers.
• Provide additional mentorship and coaching of engineers and leaders across PE and other capabilities in your location.
• Lead and drive sales pursuits for modern engineering projects.
• Act as a direct line of contact for PE for other Slalom capabilities and markets.
• Conduct technical and behavioral interviews for all Slalom capability recruiting.
• Lead PE‑wide events and initiatives.
• Help grow our culture of learning by presenting at technical conferences, community groups, writing blog articles, and contributing to partner‑coordinated workshops.

We are looking for candidates who are interested in working in a hybrid environment as we build the foundation and grow our team in LATAM. We offer a flexible working environment to balance the need to work independently, with days that may require in‑person collaboration at our office.

What You’ll Bring

Directors in PE bring a proven track record in building and deploying highly scalable public‑cloud‑based solutions using modern DevOps techniques. You’ll showcase your experience in all phases of product development, software development, and testing lifecycles regardless of cloud platform. In addition, you’ll leverage experience in established technology and product departments with mature program management processes and standards for both Agile (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, XP, and Lean) and waterfall project methodologies. As a Director you will lead sales pursuits and drive business operations. Your experience in people management will enable you to successfully lead a large team, recruit & retain top talent, and foster a culture of inclusiveness. Stitching together your leadership capabilities, your client presence, and business insight will ensure your success in managing large projects and programs.
