Director, Engineering - Release Engineering, DevOps & SRE

We’re looking for a hands-on engineering leader to build and own the Release Engineering, SecDevOps, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) functions for Infinia. This is a foundational role: you’ll define how our software is built, secured, released, and kept running at enterprise scale.

If you thrive at the intersection of infrastructure automation, operational excellence, and team building - and you want your work to directly shape the reliability and velocity of a market-leading storage platform - this is your role.

What You’ll Do

Release Engineering

Own the end-to-end release pipeline - build systems, artifact management, versioning, and release gating

Drive automation of build, test, and packaging workflows to maximize developer velocity

Define release cadence, branching strategies, and code freeze processes with engineering leadership

12+ years in DevOps, Release Engineering, or SRE - with 5+ years managing engineering teams

Deep experience with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Tekton, or similar)

Infrastructure-as-code fluency: Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, or equivalent

Container orchestration expertise: Kubernetes and Docker in production

Practical DevSecOps background - you’ve shipped security tooling, not just talked about it

SRE chops: SLO/SLI design, on-call frameworks, observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)

Strong communicator - you can translate complex technical tradeoffs for exec and non-technical audiences

Bonus Points

Experience with storage, distributed systems, or infrastructure software

Familiarity with HPC, AI/ML infrastructure, or enterprise data platforms

Background scaling DevOps in high-growth, globally distributed environments

Exposure to SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP compliance requirements

Work on infrastructure that underpins some of the world’s most demanding AI and research workloads

Greenfield opportunity to shape Release Engineering, DevOps, and SRE from the ground up for Infinia

Collaborative, engineering-first culture that values autonomy, technical depth, and continuous learning

Competitive compensation, remote-first flexibility, and a team that genuinely enjoys solving hard problems

Compensation Range: $250K - $300K
