What you’ll own

• Own and accelerate the enterprise Golden Path program by evolving the established ecosystem, contributor community, and operating model into a mature, enterprise-scale capability, driving governance, adoption, lifecycle management, standards, and continuous improvement across Application and Infrastructure-as-Code Golden Paths. Ensuring alignment with enterprise technology, cloud, and engineering strategies.

• Drive enterprise-wide adoption of Golden Paths through technical leadership, engineering communities, architecture reviews, demonstrations, workshops, and internal communications that promote standardization, automation, and engineering best practices.

• Serve as the technical evangelist and subject matter expert for Golden Paths, influencing engineering organizations through thought leadership, executive presentations, technical guidance, and cross-functional collaboration to drive enterprise-wide adoption and engineering consistency. Championing the use of Golden Paths as the preferred method for delivering secure, resilient, and production-ready solutions, reducing developer cognitive load, accelerating onboarding

• Lead the next phase of the Golden Path program by evolving the existing ecosystem, contributor community, and governance model into a scalable enterprise capability through defined ownership, quality standards, lifecycle management, documentation, testing, publishing processes, and long-term stewardship.

• Partner across Enterprise Architecture, Security Architecture, Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, Risk & Compliance, and Software Engineering to align Golden Paths with enterprise standards, pre-approved architectural patterns, Authority-to-Operate (ATO) requirements, and Secure-by-Design principles while enabling engineering teams to innovate within established guardrails.

• Serve as the technical product owner - establishing prioritization, success metrics, adoption goals, contribution standards, and continuous improvement plans based on developer feedback, platform evolution, and organizational needs.

• Ensure Development of and maintenance of production-ready reference implementations that embed security, compliance, operational excellence, observability, resilience, automation, and architectural standards by default while reducing implementation complexity and developer cognitive load.

• Identify, prioritize, and define new Golden Paths by partnering with Engineering, Infrastructure, Product, Security, and Enterprise Architecture to translate business, technical, regulatory, and operational requirements into reusable, production-ready engineering patterns.

• Cultivate and grow the existing Golden Paths community, strengthening contribution models, engineering standards, quality gates, review processes, and governance while mentoring contributors and fostering broader participation across the organization.

• Create comprehensive enablement resources, including documentation, implementation guides, tutorials, training materials, onboarding experiences, self-service assets, and knowledge repositories that enable consistent adoption across engineering organizations.

• Measure, communicate, and continuously improve the effectiveness of the Golden Path program through adoption metrics, developer feedback, engineering productivity indicators, reuse metrics, and business outcomes, identifying opportunities to expand the library and increase enterprise value.
