Lead Infrastructure Engineer

Role overview Set the direction for infrastructure and build the platforms and tools that help product engineers deliver quickly and operate their systems reliably. As a senior individual contributor on a small infrastructure team, you will define the roadmap, establish foundational practices, and contribute directly through code.

Responsibilities - Develop and drive an infrastructure roadmap based on the needs of product engineering teams. - Build security and operational foundations that support sustainable growth. - Improve service reliability by reducing incident recovery time, defining SLOs, and strengthening outage practices. - Create platforms and tools that enable product teams to operate their systems end to end. - Contribute directly to infrastructure implementation and technical strategy.

Requirements - At least five years in infrastructure, SRE, or platform engineering, with broad experience across infrastructure disciplines. - Hands-on cloud infrastructure experience; Google Cloud is preferred. - Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi. - Strong software engineering fundamentals and a practical, builder-oriented approach. - Working knowledge across networking, security, observability, CI/CD, database operations, and containerization. - Experience supporting consumer-facing systems where reliability is tied to revenue.
