Convene Hospitality Group is seeking a Director of Cloud Infrastructure to redesign deployment and govern cloud and AI infrastructure across its venues. You will own CI/CD end-to-end from build to rollback, drive security, and set the standards for product and corporate engineering teams.

This leader will shape the infrastructure strategy, work across product and engineering, and influence vendor choices while enabling AI-first development and scalable, observable systems.

• Deep AWS expertise: multi-account structure, networking, IAM, and container orchestration on EKS and/or ECS.
• Fluent in infrastructure as code (Terraform or equivalent).
• Built or rebuilt a CI/CD pipeline that teams actually use, moving from manual deploys to automated ones.
• Security and governance as design inputs: secrets, least privilege, audit trails, environment isolation.
• Experience running AI systems in production, including ML ops considerations.
• Ability to estimate cost and defend the numbers for architectures.
• High agency: make platform decisions and own migrations.
• Strong collaboration with engineering teams and ability to document/runbooks.

Responsibilities

• Rebuild the deployment path: own CI/CD end to end from build to rollback.
• Ensure safety, security and governance with access control and audit trails.
• Define platform calls: source control, CI tooling, orchestration, and IaC patterns.
• Run the AI gateway: manage provider routing, key management, and observability of AI calls.
• Enable AI-first, spec-driven development with episodic environments and fast feedback.
• Model and manage cloud and AI costs with forecasting and cost attribution.
• Support in-venue networking applications with visibility for the networking team.
• Build the observability layer: logging, metrics, alerting, routing on Loki/Grafana.
• Spread knowledge: runbooks, backup operator, knowledge sharing across teams.
