The Delivery Orchestration Platform (DOP) team owns the fulfillment and provisioning systems that power Splunk's product delivery — from the moment a customer signs to the moment their product is live. Our work sits at the heart of Splunk's go-to-market delivery pipeline, connecting the systems and teams that make customer onboarding happen reliably and at scale. We operate with high autonomy, take broad end-to-end ownership, and are in the middle of something meaningful: building a next-generation Order Management Platform that will modernize how Splunk fulfills its entire product portfolio. If you want to drive architecture on systems that matter, grow the engineers around you, and shape the technical direction of a platform used by some of the world's largest enterprises, this is the team. Your Impact Lead large, complex initiatives spanning multiple teams — from technical design through delivery — driving workstreams, managing dependencies, and making trade-offs that keep the platform moving forward. Influence and shape the engineering roadmap, identifying opportunities to evolve the fulfillment platform to meet growing product and customer demands. Set the standard for code quality, architectural patterns, and engineering best practices across the team and with partner teams, raising the technical bar through design reviews, code review, and direct mentorship. Drive architectural decisions with a focus on security, scalability, and long-term reliability, contributing to threat modeling and observability strategy at the product level. Success looks like a more capable and reliable fulfillment platform, a stronger and more independent engineering team, and technical decisions that hold up as Splunk scales.
