Tech Lead Manager, Platform Engineering

About Multi Media, LLC

Multi Media, LLC is the company behind Chaturbate, one of the most heavily trafficked live streaming platforms in the world. We support a global network of independent content creators and millions of real-time viewers, delivering interactive video at scale. Our infrastructure handles complex broadcasting, low-latency streaming, and high-engagement user experiences. All live, all the time.

We’re building a platform where creators can express themselves freely and grow their communities, where viewers discover and interact with creators they’re drawn to, and where the team behind it is challenged, trusted, and responsible for shaping the experience of millions of users around the world. We value people who take initiative, stay curious, and care deeply about the quality and impact of what they build.

About the Platform Team:

This is an internal engineering role focused on building platform capabilities for our software engineers. The team owns CI/CD, infrastructure, automation, and developer tooling that improve how services are built, tested, deployed, and operated at scale. This is not a product or platform management role.

The Role

We’re looking for a Tech Lead Manager to lead our Platform Engineering team. This role combines hands-on platform engineering expertise with people management responsibilities, ensuring our internal developer platform, CI/CD systems, and engineering automation are designed and built to support internal software engineers at scale.

You’ll join an early-stage Platform Engineering team and help shape an internal developer platform from its foundational stages, with significant ownership and influence to set direction, define standards, and build systems that impact engineering, security, and operations across the company. This role enables dozens of engineers to build and ship software more easily, reliably, and enjoyably at scale!

The Team

The Platform Engineering team sits at the crossroads of Security, Operations, and Software Engineering, building and maintaining the foundational systems that other engineering teams rely on to ship high‑quality software quickly and reliably. We own the internal developer platform (IDP), CI/CD, shared tooling, and core automation that reduce friction and surprises so product teams can focus on delivering features instead of fighting infrastructure, pipelines, or yak‑shaving tasks. 

You Will

• Design and maintain scalable CI/CD systems, self-service workflows, and platform capabilities that support our engineering organization.
• Lead and develop a team of 2-4 Platform Engineers through 1:1s, mentoring, goal-setting, and performance management.
• Own technical architecture decisions for platform systems by designing solutions that balance developer experience, reliability, and operational simplicity.
• Partner with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams to drive platform adoption and embed security, reliability, and compliance into workflows.
• Drive hiring efforts by refining candidate profiles, interview rubrics, and ensuring assessments validate real-world platform engineering skills.
• Foster a culture of ownership and continuous improvement where engineers are empowered to propose and drive solutions.
• Ensure operational health of platform systems through incident response practices, SLAs, and systematic technical debt reduction.
• Champion standardization by establishing golden paths for infrastructure-as-code, containerization, and observability.
• Automate! Aim to automate as much as possible so engineers can focus on building - not maintaining or doing tedious manual work.
