Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Head of Infrastructure - **Company:** Function Health - **Location:** United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Adobe InDesign, Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Cloud Computing, Databases, Software Debugging, Operational Databases, Reliability Engineering, Software Factory, Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Information Technology - **Published:** October 20, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=e1ac80d490aa9573 ## About the Role * [10+] years in infrastructure, SRE, or platform engineering, including [3+] years leading teams. Demonstrated by: progression from hands-on engineer to technical leader. * Has previously scaled a platform through a major growth stage (for example, a multiple-x increase in users, traffic, or number of services). Demonstrated by: being able to describe what broke, what you re-architected, and what you would do differently. * Deep expertise in cloud infrastructure [GCP/AWS: confirm], containers and orchestration, networking (including VPC design and cross-service communication), and production database operations. * Experience designing for multi-region, data residency, or other compliance-driven architecture. Demonstrated by: having shipped or led a multi-region or regulated-data design. * Has defined and operated reliability programs: SLOs, on-call rotations, incident command, and blameless postmortems. * Comfortable making and explaining trade-offs among reliability, speed, cost, and security to both engineers and executives. Situations you will face: deciding whether to invest in a re-architecture or a patch while a launch deadline is approaching, or choosing where data may live when two regions' requirements conflict. * Hands-on technical credibility: you can review designs, debug in production, and earn the respect of senior engineers. * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience. Preferred Qualifications Experience in healthcare, health tech, or other regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2, international privacy regimes). * Experience integrating infrastructure across acquired companies or multiple business units. * Familiarity with FinOps practices and tooling. * Stretch scope (for the right candidate): Interest in leading AI and developer productivity, including AI tooling and enablement across EPD and DevX tooling toward an agentic-first "Software Factory." ## Description We are hiring a Head of Infrastructure in Engineering, Product & Data (EPD), reporting to our Sr. Director of Engineering. This leader will own the foundation every Function product runs on: Site Reliability Engineering and the infrastructure platform, including databases, compute, containers, networking, and cross-service and VPC communication, across Function Health, Ezra, Suppco, and Getlabs. Function is moving from a single-market product into its next stage of growth, including international expansion. This role will design the long-term infrastructure architecture to support that: multi-region deployment, data residency, latency, and compliance boundaries. You will also set the reliability and cost standards (SLOs, on-call, incident response) that let us scale confidently as the member base and the number of businesses on the platform grow. This is a hands-on leadership role, not a pure people-management seat. You will lead the Infrastructure team while staying close enough to the technology to evaluate tradeoffs across infrastructure and deployment yourself. What makes this compelling: You will have end-to-end ownership of the platform at a company with real scale, a fresh Series B, and a mission that matters. You will shape architecture decisions that will last for years, unify infrastructure across a growing family of acquired companies, and build the foundation for global expansion in a regulated, high-trust domain., * Own the infrastructure platform end to end. Lead SRE and the infrastructure platform (databases, compute, containers, networking, and cross-service/VPC communication) across FH, Ezra, Suppco, and Getlabs, with the outcome of a secure, reliable, and consistent foundation for every product team. * Architect for global scale. Define and drive the long-term architecture evolution for international expansion, including multi-region topology, data residency, latency, and compliance boundaries, so new markets can launch without re-platforming. * Set and enforce reliability standards. Establish SLOs, error budgets, on-call practices, and incident response and postmortem processes, with the outcome of measurably higher availability and faster recovery. * Drive cost efficiency at scale. Build visibility into infrastructure spend, make informed build, buy, and consolidate decisions, and keep unit costs healthy as usage grows. * Unify infrastructure across the Function family. Align infrastructure practices, tooling, and networking across acquired companies, reducing duplication and risk while preserving delivery speed. * Lead and grow the Infrastructure team. Hire, coach, and set direction for infrastructure and SRE engineers while remaining hands-on in design reviews, architecture decisions, and critical incidents. * Partner across EPD, Security, and Clinical/Compliance. Work closely with engineering and product leaders, security, and compliance stakeholders to make sound trade-offs on infrastructure, deployment, and regulatory requirements, and with executives on roadmap, investment, and risk., To be a strong fit, you embody our Core Values: * Ruthless Prioritization: + We don't let perfect get in the way of progress. + We move quickly to drive value, not perfection. + We prioritize what drives impact. + We never compromise on standards of excellence. * Member-First, Always: + We design and deliver like we're caring for someone we love. + We create clear, actionable, human experiences. + We prioritize responsiveness, peace of mind, and outcomes. + We empower members with truth, clarity, and care. * One Team, Moving Fast: + We are aligned in purpose, prioritization, and speed. + We gather diverse perspectives to make informed decisions. + We clear paths for each other and move fast together. + We communicate clearly and respectfully, rallying around shared goals. * Radical Ownership, Relentless Execution: + We don't just ship; we own outcomes and drive results. + We act with urgency and precision. + We anticipate, initiate, and follow through. + We meet challenges with grit and pragmatism. + We embrace new tech to deliver better outcomes. * Mission Over Ego: + We are ruthlessly aligned to our mission and leave ego at the door. + We disagree and commit. + We don't tolerate politics or withholding information. + We operate with honesty, transparency, and respect. * Sustained Integrity in Every Detail: We earn trust by obsessing over accuracy, quality, and clarity in everything we do. + We prioritize clinical precision. Data must be right. + We sweat the details because outcomes depend on them.
