The role
You will build Alpaca's internal infrastructure and developer platform as a product. You will own the product definition, platform maturity strategy, backlog, and multi-quarter roadmap for Platform & Infrastructure.
What you will do

- Work with infrastructure engineering and Finance on cost attribution and efficiency.

Nice to have
- Stood up a platform-maturity model, paved-path program, or internal developer platform.
- Eliminated or dramatically reduced maintenance windows or change-freeze culture in a production org.
