Senior Manager, Infrastructure Platform Engineering

What You'll Be Working On

• Leading the team responsible for the platform services that abstract underlying infrastructure into reliable, allocatable capacity, and for the systems that track and reconcile state across a large fleet
• Setting the technical roadmap across capacity and utilization intelligence, resource lifecycle and state management, and platform security and trust frameworks
• Driving the design of secure, well-instrumented platform systems — from Kubernetes-based orchestration and automation to lower-level system and hardware integration
• Hiring, mentoring, and growing a team of infrastructure software engineers; building a high-performing organization from a strong foundation
• Partnering with infrastructure, production engineering, and security teams to align platform capabilities with operational reliability, capacity, and trust requirements
• Improving platform efficiency and availability — characterizing bottlenecks, reducing stranded resources, and shortening operational and recovery cycles
• Establishing engineering standards for infrastructure software development: code quality, testing, deployment safety, and on-call practices for systems that span the platform
• Translating a vertically integrated infrastructure stack into reliable platform primitives that engineering teams can build on
• Staying technically hands-on — reviewing designs, contributing to architecture decisions, and being credible to the engineers you lead

What You'll Bring to the Team

• 10+ years of experience in infrastructure or systems software development, with at least 3+ years in an engineering leadership role
• Deep expertise in large-scale infrastructure platforms — building services that pool, allocate, and reconcile compute resources at scale
• Strong background with Kubernetes and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) — orchestration, automation, and operating distributed systems in production
• Experience with distributed state management and control systems — modeling resource and system lifecycle, reconciling desired vs. actual state, and handling failure gracefully across a large fleet
• Experience with efficiency, capacity, or performance engineering — characterizing system behavior, identifying bottlenecks, and driving measurable improvements in utilization or availability
• A player-coach approach to management: hands-on enough to make technical calls, structured enough to grow a team and ship through them
• Track record of hiring strong infrastructure engineers and helping them grow into more senior roles
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where the path isn't fully paved — willing to drive ambiguity to clarity

Bonus Points

• Experience operating Kubernetes on bare-metal infrastructure as well as on managed cloud services (GKE, EKS, AKS)
• Familiarity with the operational challenges of GPU clusters, AI training, and inference workloads
• Working knowledge of platform security and trust concepts — secure boot, measured boot, TPMs, and hardware attestation
• Experience with capacity forecasting, demand modeling, or allocation optimization at scale
• Hands-on background with telemetry and observability platforms at scale (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Grafana)
• Prior experience building infrastructure platforms at hyperscalers or cloud providers where internal engineers are the primary customer
• Familiarity with hardware-software co-design — understanding how platform choices affect physical infrastructure utilization
