Define and drive the vision and multi-quarter roadmap, tying foundational investments to critical, business-impacting outcomes while protecting space for tech-debt reduction and reliability work
Lead and mentor a team of infrastructure engineers, fostering a culture of ownership, collaboration, and technical excellence, and owning hiring, performance, and career growth
Partner with engineering leadership and stakeholders to align Infra Foundations priorities with broader infrastructure, platform, and security goals
Own the reliability and safety of the foundational layer: AWS account provisioning and bootstrapping, core networking (VPCs and interconnectivity), and human IAM access
Drive the team's automation charter, delivering frameworks that let other infra teams provision, update, and tear down complex stacks and whole environments safely on the existing IaC rails (GitHub, Spacelift)
Steward critical operational programs including AWS quota management and notifications, AMI patch management, and Ansible-based configuration management
Establish and hold the operational bar: SLAs for IAM requests, quota alerting thresholds, incident response for networking changes, and automated validation of provisioning and teardown
Partner with Security to enforce least-privilege IAM and ensure recommended permissions are adopted across teams
Drive smooth adoption of Infra Foundations frameworks and best practices through self-service tooling, documentation, and knowledge sharing
What We Look For
7+ years of software or infrastructure engineering experience, with 2+ years of engineering management experience
Proven experience leading engineering teams in infrastructure, platform engineering, or adjacent domains
Strong technical background in cloud-native and infrastructure systems (AWS preferred), with the ability to guide architecture and execution across accounts, VPC networking, and IAM
