About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Serve as the technical DRI for the Infra & Security group: own the architecture, set the standards, and make the technical calls across infrastructure, DevOps, and security engineering.
Own the cloud platform end-to-end: infrastructure reliability, CI/CD and delivery automation, and the infrastructure-as-code beneath them.
Drive a simpler, isolated architecture through shrinking the surface area we defend and maintain: Retire legacy and unused services, consolidate SaaS and vendors, and unwind standing external dependencies.
Own infra & security incident-response: a staffed rotation with no single point of failure, severity-matched response, actionable alerting, and runbooks.
Bring identity and access under a single source of truth: human, service, machine, and agent identity.
Build the Production-agent Infrastructure that lets autonomous agents run and self-verify safely in production.
Drive and maintain our security-compliance and supply-chain scanning programs.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Deep cloud engineering experience, primarily in AWS: designing, building, and operating production infrastructure at scale.
Strong in CI/CD and delivery automation (CircleCI, Nomad, or equivalent) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), with ownership of a real production system's reliability.
Apply security pragmatically: isolation, least-privilege, RBAC, blast-radius containment.
A formal background in information security or cybersecurity, including having led a SOC 2 (or similar) compliance audit.
Has led at least one enterprise security-breach or data-leak incident response.
Comfortable as a hands-on technical lead and DRI: work through architecture, standards, and code review, set technical direction, and raise the bar across a team.
A bias toward simplicity and subtraction.
AI-forward: build for isolation, safe data, and non-human identity, and the infrastructure behind it.
Communicate crisply across engineering, IT/Security, Legal, and Finance.
