## About the Role

 * Deep, hands-on expertise with AWS and Kubernetes (EKS), and a track record of scaling cloud-native platforms that hold up under pressure.
 * Strong command of GitOps (FluxCD), infrastructure as code (Terraform, Helm), CI/CD (Jenkins), and API gateway/networking (Kong) - DNS, TCP/IP, TLS, ingress, and zero-trust are not abstract to you.
 * Proven ownership of an SRE/reliability practice - SLOs, incident management, and observability at scale.
 * Experience owning security posture and cloud cost efficiency, ideally in fintech, crypto, or another regulated, high-availability domain.
 * You use AI daily and lead its adoption by example (Claude Code or similar), with the judgment to balance speed, quality, and security.
 * A people leader who hires well, grows engineers and managers, and sets a high standard through clear thinking and disciplined execution.
 * Executive-level communication: you translate technical strategy into business impact and build trust across functions.

## Description

 * Lead, grow, and mentor a team of platform, DevOps, and SRE engineers - and their managers - setting a high bar for hiring, performance, and career growth.
 * Set technical direction for our cloud-native platform on AWS and Kubernetes (EKS) - multi-tenancy, GitOps with FluxCD, and infrastructure as code with Terraform and Helm.
 * Stay technically hands-on where it matters: architecture reviews, hard trade-offs, and setting the engineering standards the team builds to.
 * Own reliability and operational excellence - SLOs/SLIs, incident response, and observability with Datadog and Prometheus/Grafana.
 * Drive security, compliance, and resilience across the platform in a regulated, high-stakes financial environment.
 * Own cloud cost efficiency and capacity, driving strong FinOps practices across the platform.
