Join a technology company operating in a highly regulated environment where infrastructure reliability, security, and compliance are business-critical.

As Head of Infrastructure, you'll take direct technical ownership of a multi-cloud environment spanning AWS and GCP. You'll work hands-on with Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, observability, incident response, and security while defining the standards that guide how infrastructure is built and operated.

Despite the Head title, this is not a people-management role. We're looking for a senior technical leader who still writes infrastructure code, provisions production systems, debugs outages, and makes architectural decisions directly.
