About the role

Responsibilities

  • Execute on the transformation from monolith to scalable microservices (API/Platform focus).
  • Drive initiatives to continually improve reliability, with a deep understanding of the implications of each “9.”
  • Architect systems and write code that enables application teams to adopt best practices by default—not by instruction.
  • Integrate and unify diverse infrastructure components into a cohesive, scalable platform within a massive tech stack.
  • Design observability, reliability, and CI/CD frameworks to support growth and operational excellence at scale.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, application, and integration teams to align infrastructure direction with business goals.
  • Provide technical leadership to shift the team from reactive support to a proactive, strategic function.
  • Mentor and guide a team of 6 engineers while shaping the direction of infrastructure engineering.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field of study.
  • At least 10 years of hands-on coding experience in building internal platforms/tools to support developer experience and operational best practices.
  • At least 5 years of experience in cloud platforms—GCP preferred, AWS acceptable; cloud engineering background required.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Proven experience scaling infrastructure in environments with many thousands of nodes.
  • Track record of leading architectural shifts from monolithic systems to microservices in large-scale environments.
  • Deep knowledge of reliability engineering and high-availability systems; able to articulate the impact of increasing the number of 9s.
  • Strong understanding of first-party infrastructure integration and unifying disparate systems.
  • Familiarity with observability, CI/CD tooling, and infrastructure automation.
  • Experience at large-scale tech companies (Google, Meta, Amazon, etc.) or equivalent environments highly preferred.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and the ability to drive infrastructure alignment across engineering orgs.
