## About the Role

* You have 8+ years of engineering experience, with meaningful time managing cloud infrastructure teams. You're as comfortable in a design doc or code review as you are in a leadership meeting and you operate well at both altitudes simultaneously.
 * You have deep, hands-on cloud infrastructure experience. Azure is our primary cloud; direct Azure experience is a plus, but strong engineers on AWS or GCP who are excited to go deep on Azure are equally competitive.
 * You've owned DevOps end-to-end: CI/CD pipelines, IaC (Terraform/Terragrunt preferred), container orchestration (Kubernetes), and the deployment and release practices that let engineers ship with confidence.
 * You have a serious security mindset: AuthN/AuthZ, network isolation, secrets management, zero-trust and you've hardened infrastructure in production at a company where the stakes were high.
 * You've driven developer productivity improvements that engineering teams actually noticed: internal platforms, toolchain automation, deployment speed, or developer experience initiatives that meaningfully changed how your team works.
 * You actively use AI tools in your own work and have driven structured adoption on your team, not just encouraged it in the abstract, but changed how work gets done.
 * You've led distributed teams across time zones. You know how to keep remote engineers aligned, accountable, and energized without defaulting to unnecessary synchronous overhead.
 * You thrive in ambiguity, move fast when the picture is incomplete, and adjust quickly when priorities shift. You've done this before at a startup or high-growth company.
 * Payments or crypto domain knowledge is a plus. QA/testing infrastructure experience is a bonus. But intellectual curiosity and a fast ramp matter more than a specific background.

## Description

We are hiring a Senior Engineering Manager, Cloud Infrastructure, to own and evolve the technical foundation that powers everything we build. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will be deep in the infrastructure yourself, writing Terraform, operating AKS clusters in production, and showing up to incidents with a diagnosis, not just a status update, while leading and growing a team of engineers.

What You'll Do

 * Own and evolve our Azure cloud infrastructure with a focus on reliability, security, and cost efficiency.
 * Drive infrastructure-as-code practices using Terraform (and ideally Terragrunt), helping the team move toward a code-first approach to everything we build and operate.
 * Lead container operations on Kubernetes and help the team mature how we deploy and run services.
 * Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices that let engineers ship with confidence.
 * Build out and maintain our Data Infrastructure in the Cloud: Fabric, Database and Warehouses.
 * Own incident response, from diagnosis through postmortem, and drive meaningful improvement after every significant event.
 * Partner with security engineering to harden infrastructure and build toward compliance goals.
 * Build our AI-augmented observability to experiment and remediate issues faster.
 * Lead, grow, and hire a team of infrastructure engineers - creating clarity, removing blockers, and building a culture of ownership.
 * Collaborate closely with Backend, Product, and Security teams on architecture decisions and major launches.
 * Set the standard for observability and reliability across the engineering org.
