No matter where you are located, you will join a dedicated, creative, and diverse community that will help you discover your fullest potential.

We are looking for a Lead Infrastructure Engineer to architect, build, automate, and manage infrastructure spanning our on-prem data centers and GCP environments. This role fits an engineer who developed their foundation through hands-on operations work (racking hardware, running networks, bare metal OS installs, keeping systems online at 2am) and has since cultivated deep skills in automation, infrastructure as code, and public cloud platforms. You'll define technical direction for infrastructure, mentor engineers, and take ownership of the systems that support our global-scale operations.

Nice to have

• Experience transitioning on-prem workloads to public cloud platforms
• Experience with distributed monitoring and logging stacks, such as Grafana or Prometheus
• Experience with container orchestration tools, such as Kubernetes or GKE
• Experience guiding and mentoring junior engineers

We offer

• International projects with top brands
• Work with global teams of highly skilled, diverse peers
• Healthcare benefits
• Employee financial programs
