What You'll Be Doing

• Ensure we continuously deliver and improve our infrastructure platform
• Guide the team through massive reduction of manual work through employing an AI-driven engineering approach. You will reach a zero-touch scalable infrastructure, where AI handles dependency management, assists with incident resolution, cloud cost optimization, and developer support - ensuring the team can handle increasing scope and scale without having to grow in size.
• Quality surge: You will prepare, define and ensure execution of the strategy for our CI/CD and artifact distribution systems to scale without increasing engineering toil
• Grow, mentor and coach a high-leverage platform team of 4 Infrastructure engineers, by setting clear expectations, giving actionable and timely feedback, and fostering a culture of empathy, autonomy, and continuous improvement, in an asynchronous, remote environment.

What You Bring

• Ability and/or willingness to use our product.
• People leadership experience: track record of growing engineers to senior and beyond senior levels.
• Strong stakeholder leadership: Ability to translate tech needs into actionable engineering roadmap and strategy, and implement that across teams.
• Senior-level technical depth and competency: Hands-on experience with:
• Cloud providers (e.g., GCP, AWS or similar)
• Kubernetes (any distribution)
• Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, ArgoCD or similar)
• Scaling high-load CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions with self-hosted runners or similar).
• Backend engineering background, fluent in at least one programming language (e.g. Python)
• Comfortable at reviewing complex architecture and code; eager to contribute hands-on when needed (e.g. to implement internal workflow automations)
• Proven track record of ensuring team efficiency within remote, async-first environments

Nice-to-haves

• Experience transforming teams into AI-native and/or automation-first teams
• Background in technical product management or strong product thinking
• Experience implementing FinOps practices and accountability
