This role will own cloud infrastructure, observability, container orchestration, and core platform reliability.

  • Hire, grow, and retain exceptional engineers who thrive in a high-trust, high-impact environment.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to align infrastructure work with product roadmap and company goals.
  • Foster a culture of operational excellence, blameless incident response, and continuous improvement.

What You Have

  • 2+ years of engineering management experience and 5+ years of hands-on infrastructure engineering.
  • Deep expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, Pulumi).
  • Strong understanding of observability stacks (e.g. Datadog, Sentry) and incident response workflows.
  • Experience with CI/CD, networking, and security principles at scale.
  • A track record of designing and scaling systems with reliability and performance in mind.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a bias toward clarity and action.
  • A systems mindset and passion for simplifying complex infrastructure.
  • A track record of leading complex cross-functional projects and delivering measurable impact.
