About the role

  • Define and drive the multi-year roadmap for the cloud infrastructure platform, making high-stakes, strategic decisions around performance, cost, and maintainability. Serve as the ultimate domain expert for critical systems.
  • Architect and lead the implementation of our strategic Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platform, ensuring the solution provides organizational leverage and adheres to a robust, scalable governance model.
  • Own and drive the evolution of the organization's deployment ecosystem, setting the standard for secure, reliable, and high-velocity enterprise-wide deployment strategy.
  • Define the company's observability strategy (SLOs/SLIs) and lead major, cross-functional incident response efforts. Leverage deep system-level thinking to diagnose root causes and prevent recurrence of high-impact outages.
  • Architect and own the core platform capabilities and system-level contracts that unlock significant self-service capabilities for all product engineering teams, maximizing autonomy while enforcing guardrails.
  • Set the technical standards and best practices for infrastructure engineering across the organization. Provide hands-on coaching and mentoring to Senior and Principal engineers, influencing the technical direction of peer teams.
  • Partner with Security and Compliance leadership to integrate advanced security controls and policy enforcement mechanisms at the architectural layer, ensuring compliance without sacrificing developer velocity.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of high-impact experience in DevOps, Platform, or Infrastructure roles, with a proven history of designing and operating large-scale, multi-account production systems on AWS.
  • Deep expertise in system-level programming and architectural design in languages such as Go or Python, used to engineer internal infrastructure platforms and APIs.
  • Proven track record of owning critical outcomes end-to-end across multiple functions and driving results with multi-departmental impact.
  • Ability to think strategically across functions, connecting technology decisions to company objectives and translating abstract concepts into clear, actionable engineering plans.
  • Expert-level knowledge of IaC (Terraform strongly preferred) and hands-on experience designing and operating container orchestration systems (Kubernetes/EKS).
  • Demonstrated experience serving as a trusted technical advisor and driving change on cross-functional initiatives across a large group of stakeholders.
