    Key Responsibilities

    Cloud Infrastructure & Platform Strategy

    • Own multi-cloud architecture across AWS and GCP
    • Define infrastructure strategy around scalability, reliability, security, and cost
    • Build and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform or comparable tooling
    • Develop reusable platform abstractions, automation, and internal infrastructure tooling
    • Improve developer productivity while maintaining strong operational standards

    Reliability, Delivery & Observability

    • Design and improve CI/CD systems for fast, reliable, and secure software delivery
    • Establish SLOs, error budgets, incident-response processes, and on-call practices
    • Lead disaster-recovery and resilience initiatives
    • Build observability across metrics, logs, traces, alerting, and operational signals
    • Use production data and postmortems to improve reliability and reduce deployment risk

    Security, Operations & Leadership

    • Embed security into cloud architecture, platform tooling, and software-delivery workflows
    • Support compliance with frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and CMMC
    • Lead and develop a high-performing Infrastructure or Platform Engineering team
    • Mentor engineers and influence infrastructure strategy across technical and executive stakeholders
    • Balance long-term platform strategy with hands-on production and incident-management responsibilities

    Ideal Profile

    • 8+ years of experience in production infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, or SRE
    • 3+ years of engineering leadership experience
    • Deep expertise with AWS, GCP, or multi-cloud production environments
    • Strong Terraform or comparable infrastructure-as-code experience
    • Strong knowledge of Kubernetes and containerised infrastructure
    • Experience designing and operating modern CI/CD platforms
    • Demonstrated success building highly available, observable, and resilient systems
    • Strong understanding of infrastructure security, compliance, and operational risk
    • Experience scaling infrastructure and engineering teams in fast-moving environments
    • Excellent written and verbal communication and ability to influence technical strategy
    • AI/ML infrastructure or large-scale data-platform experience is highly valuable
    • Familiarity with model training, inference, evaluation, or data-pipeline infrastructure is advantageous
    • Experience with FedRAMP, GovCloud, CMMC Level 2, or comparable regulated environments is beneficial

    Engagement Details

    • Full-time engagement
    • Fully remote
    • Base compensation: $350,000–$500,000/year
    • Work will involve AWS, GCP, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, observability, reliability engineering, platform tooling, security, and technical leadership
    • Responsibilities will span strategic architecture, production operations, developer experience, team leadership, and incident management
    • The role may support AI/ML infrastructure, large-scale data platforms, or regulated cloud environments
    • Infrastructure priorities, compliance requirements, and platform architecture may evolve as production systems scale
