Platform Owner

Job Description:

• The Platform Owner plays a critical role in this transformation setting the strategic vision for the underlying platform that enables Studio Economics applications to deliver value faster, with consistency, resilience, and enterprise alignment.
• Embedded within the Platform Pod, the Platform Owner defines and oversees the development of shared services, reusable components, and cross-cutting capabilities used by product pods across the Studios. This role collaborates closely with the Cloud Architect, Data Architect, and product-aligned delivery teams to ensure the platform delivers a cohesive developer experience, aligns to enterprise architecture, and evolves alongside Studio needs.

Responsibilities:

Job Responsibilities / Typical Day in the Role

Set and Drive Platform Strategy

• Define the strategic vision and roadmap for the Studio Economics platform focusing on modularity, scalability, and reuse across business domains and technical teams.
• Identify and prioritize platform capabilities (e.g., shared APIs, orchestration layers, semantic models, monitoring tools) that enable product pods to build faster and more consistently.
• Translate enterprise goals (real-time analytics, AI-readiness, automation) into a platform operating model that enables rapid delivery while preserving long-term stability.

Lead Architecture Evolution and Technical Alignment

• Oversee the evolution of the cloud-native platform architecture, ensuring technical decisions align with both Studio product needs and enterprise standards.
• Partner with the Cloud Architect to define and maintain infrastructure patterns (e.g., serverless compute, event-based workflows) that are secure, cost-effective, and scalable.
• Work with the Data Architect to ensure data products, pipelines, and canonical models are reusable, governed, and discoverable across domains.

Enable Cross-Pod Delivery Through Shared Services

• Define platform services (e.g., API Gateway, CI/CD pipelines, schema registries, observability tooling) that streamline onboarding and reduce friction across product pods.
• Drive standardization of architectural patterns and tooling without sacrificing flexibility balancing governance with usability.
• Track platform adoption, reuse metrics, and feedback loops, and adjust investments based on business outcomes and delivery team needs.

Champion Operational Excellence and Continuous Improvement

• Establish and enforce SLAs, automation standards, and observability baselines (e.g., CloudWatch, X-Ray, OpenSearch) to support production-grade operations.
• Proactively identify platform bottlenecks or fragmentation risks and guide remediation strategies in collaboration with engineers and architects.
• Lead platform retrospectives, incident reviews, and improvement efforts that increase resilience, maintainability, and developer productivity.

Facilitate Collaboration and Governance

• Act as the primary steward of platform intake, backlog prioritization, and cross-pod coordination ensuring clarity around platform capabilities and escalation paths.
• Represent the platform in executive forums, product councils, and architecture boards, communicating progress, dependencies, and upcoming enhancements.
• Ensure compliance with enterprise security, governance, and regulatory standards working closely with infosec, compliance, and data governance team
