> Lead Morpho's platform engineering team to own the infrastructure roadmap, raise reliability to institutional standards, accelerate developer velocity with self-service tooling, and scale the team while maintaining a high technical bar. Requires 8+ years in infrastructure/platform engineering including 3+ years of management experience, deep expertise in Kubernetes, GitOps, and cloud platforms.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Build and lead the platform engineering team, owning hiring, performance, and career growth to scale the team for a growing engineering org while holding a high technical and culture bar.
- Own the infrastructure roadmap and technical strategy, turning product and business needs into a prioritized backlog and documented architecture decisions that balance speed, cost, and reliability.
- Accelerate engineering velocity by driving self-service infrastructure, CI/CD optimization for the monorepo, and developer tooling that cuts deployment time to minutes.
- Raise the reliability and security bar with zero-trust IAM, observability across tier-1 services, proactive alerting, and blameless incident and post-mortem practices, working toward multi-region readiness and institutional-grade SLOs.
- Partner with product, protocol, and business teams to represent platform engineering in planning, translate infrastructure trade-offs into business impact, and keep the platform enabling rather than gating product delivery.
- Set the engineering culture by example through clear architecture docs, infrastructure-as-code standards, and mentorship that helps engineers grow and ship with confidence.

## What Success Looks Like
**First 30 days**
- Build deep context on Morpho's on-chain deployment patterns, core services, and infrastructure pain points.
- Publish an initial platform strategy and 90-day roadmap, start 1:1s with the team, and take over weekly incident reviews and architecture forums.

**First 3 months**
- Have the platform team staffed against current priorities with a clear pipeline for open roles.
- Ship a self-service deployment pipeline with automated rollbacks for at least one tier-1 service, and stand up observability with proactive alerting and defined SLOs.

## Must Have Skills & Experience
- 8+ years in infrastructure or platform engineering, including 3+ years managing engineering teams.
- Track record building and scaling production infrastructure from startup to enterprise scale, owning reliability and developer-experience outcomes.
- Experience leading platform or infrastructure transformations that measurably improved developer velocity and reliability, with concrete metrics.
- Deep technical fluency in event-driven architectures, Kubernetes-based platforms, GitOps, and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred).
- Hands-on enough to review architecture, guide technical calls, and join incident response, while leading management-first.
- Strong cross-functional leadership: influences decisions across product, protocol, and business teams without direct authority.
- Comfort operating in fast-changing, ambiguous environments where the playbook doesn't exist yet.
- Clear, crisp async communication through RFCs, runbooks, and incident reviews.
- High ownership and autonomy with a team-first, low-ego mindset.
- Genuine curiosity about crypto and DeFi.

## Perks & Benefits
We design benefits around deep work and growth, so you can do the best work of your career. Expect fair, top-tier compensation, real flexibility, time together in Paris, great health coverage, and support to keep learning.
