• Recruit, hire, and grow a high-performing team of cloud platform engineers; provide ongoing coaching, feedback, and career development through regular 1:1s.
• Drive day-to-day technical decisions through design reviews, code reviews, and architectural discussions; translate the infrastructure roadmap into clear team priorities and milestones.

• Demonstrated ability to drive projects end-to-end — from specification to execution — and coach your team to do the same

• Strong background building and maintaining scalable, production infrastructure
• Openness to learning about ML infrastructure; prior machine learning experience is not required
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi) and CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins)
• Experience with OSS observability tooling (Prometheus, ELK stack, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
