Manager, Software Engineering (Infra Foundations)

Responsibilities

• Define and drive the vision and multi-quarter roadmap, tying foundational investments to critical, business-impacting outcomes while protecting space for tech-debt reduction and reliability work
• Lead and mentor a team of infrastructure engineers, fostering a culture of ownership, collaboration, and technical excellence, and owning hiring, performance, and career growth
• Partner with engineering leadership and stakeholders to align Infra Foundations priorities with broader infrastructure, platform, and security goals
• Own the reliability and safety of the foundational layer: AWS account provisioning and bootstrapping, core networking (VPCs and interconnectivity), and human IAM access
• Drive the team's automation charter, delivering frameworks that let other infra teams provision, update, and tear down complex stacks and whole environments safely on the existing IaC rails (GitHub, Spacelift)
• Steward critical operational programs including AWS quota management and notifications, AMI patch management, and Ansible-based configuration management
• Establish and hold the operational bar: SLAs for IAM requests, quota alerting thresholds, incident response for networking changes, and automated validation of provisioning and teardown
• Partner with Security to enforce least-privilege IAM and ensure recommended permissions are adopted across teams
• Drive smooth adoption of Infra Foundations frameworks and best practices through self-service tooling, documentation, and knowledge sharing
• What We Look For
