  • Provide technical oversight by reviewing designs and guiding trade-offs

  • Experience managing engineers in a people leadership role
  • Background in Infrastructure, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering
  • Experience operating production systems in AWS
  • Strong understanding of Linux, Kubernetes, and containerized systems
  • Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform required)
  • Comfortable leading teams through incidents and operational challenges

What success looks like:

  • The team delivers reliably with clear ownership and priorities
  • Incidents lead to measurable improvements over time
  • Engineers are supported, growing, and not burning out
  • Infrastructure work enables the broader organization effectively
