Head of Platform Engineering, Reliability & Control

About this role

Interested in joining one of Canada’s top-performing asset managers? We are seeking a Head of Platform Engineering, Reliability & Control to lead our horizontal engineering function and shared control plane. In this role, you will shape a more connected, observable, and automated technology ecosystem spanning data, integration, and front-to-back platforms. You will define the architecture, standards, and operating model for command-and-control capabilities, SRE practices, process orchestration, release governance, and automation. Partnering closely with Infrastructure, Security, Service Desk, Data, and platform teams, you will improve reliability, transparency, and change governance across the enterprise. Success will be measured by stronger platform stability, faster incident detection and recovery, more predictable releases, and reduced manual effort. We operate on a hybrid model with three days a week in-office to facilitate team collaboration.

What You Will Do

• Own and evolve the enterprise control plane architecture, establishing a scalable command-and-control layer that provides real-time visibility into system health, dependencies, data flows, and operational risk.

• Define and implement SRE and observability standards, enabling proactive monitoring, faster incident detection, improved root cause analysis, and consistent reliability practices across distributed systems and platforms.

• Lead release governance and change management frameworks, ensuring deployments are predictable, auditable, and aligned with risk and compliance expectations across a complex, regulated technology environment.
