You have built or run production platforms with Kubernetes, GCP or AWS, Terraform or similar infrastructure as code, service discovery, networking, API gateways, CDNs, observability, CI/CD, and incident response.
You are technically deep enough to debate architecture with senior infrastructure engineers and practical enough to make the call when the perfect answer is wasting time.
You know how to split central platform ownership from product-team service ownership without creating a ticket queue that everyone resents.
You improve on-call and reliability by building systems, standards, and feedback loops that make production healthier over time.
You can turn messy infrastructure work into a strategy people can follow, then keep pushing until the work ships.
You communicate clearly with executives, product leaders, engineers, and customer-facing teams. You can explain tradeoffs without sanding off the technical truth.
You have managed managers or senior technical leads, and you know when to coach, when to set the bar, and when to get directly involved.
Real infrastructure scale and a clear mandate to change how it works.
A senior seat in R&D, close to Product, Engineering, Security, and customer-facing teams.
A highly skilled, inspiring, and supportive team.
A positive, flexible, and trust-based work environment that supports long-term professional and personal growth.
A global, culturally diverse group of colleagues and customers.
Comprehensive health plans and perks.
A healthy work-life balance that accommodates individual and family needs.
Competitive stock options and location-based salary.
