Full Job Posting

Role overview

Lead engineering and operations of production cloud platforms across Infrastructure Engineering, SRE, Cloud Platform Engineering, and AI-native engineering.

The role is hands-on, including infrastructure code and architecture reviews, production troubleshooting, Kubernetes, cloud services, and daily use of Claude Code.

Focus on GCP and OCI, with strong practical GCP expertise supporting an ongoing migration to GCP.

Collaborate with the Infrastructure Engineering Manager – Developer Experience, who owns non-production environments, CI/CD, and developer tooling.

Cloud platform and reliability

  • Own production infrastructure architecture, engineering, operations, and continuous improvement across GCP and OCI; lead production workload migration to GCP.
  • Design secure, highly available, scalable, resilient platforms and set standards for compute, networking, storage, IAM, and cloud-native services.
  • Own production Kubernetes and its ingress, service networking, service mesh, monitoring, and logging ecosystem.
  • Build automation and self-service capabilities; establish SRE practices, SLIs, SLOs, operational metrics, and reliability improvements.
  • Lead complex production troubleshooting, incident root-cause analysis, corrective action, toil reduction, and improved monitoring and early detection.

Infrastructure engineering and AI

  • Drive an IaC-first model using Terraform, reusable modules, automated validation, and controlled production changes.
  • Use source control, pull requests, peer review, testing, and automated deployment; use Bitbucket as the core infrastructure workflow.
  • Use Claude Code and MCP servers to understand repositories, develop and review IaC, investigate issues, and automate workflows.
  • Apply AI to monitoring, optimization, incident investigation, root-cause analysis, and Terraform development and review.
  • Set human validation and approval requirements and ensure safe AI use around production systems, credentials, and sensitive operational data.

Services, security, and team leadership

  • Oversee databases and data infrastructure, caching, messaging and middleware, Kubernetes services, networking, IAM, secrets, observability, backup, and recovery.
  • Build security into infrastructure, owning IAM, network security, segmentation, secrets management, and hardening; partner with Security Engineering on risks.
  • Maintain auditable infrastructure changes and guardrails and human oversight for production automation.
  • Lead, mentor, and grow Infrastructure and SRE engineers; guide architecture, review solutions, and participate in complex troubleshooting.
  • Partner with Product Engineering and Security, set standards, promote documentation and knowledge sharing, and coach AI-native engineering workflows.

Experience and core qualifications

  • 10+ years across infrastructure, cloud, platform engineering, DevOps, or SRE; 3+ years leading relevant engineering teams.
  • Proven design and operation of highly available production cloud environments; strong production Kubernetes and significant Terraform/IaC experience.
  • Strong understanding of networking, IAM, security, observability, and production operations; experience leading major infrastructure migration or platform transformation.
  • Substantial hands-on GCP production workload design, deployment, troubleshooting, and operation, with practical architecture and operational decision experience.
  • Hands-on OCI experience and ability to operate across both OCI and GCP.

AI and engineering practices

  • Daily hands-on Claude Code use, practical MCP server use, and proven AI use in software engineering, SRE, or infrastructure workflows beyond chat prompting.
  • Experience applying AI across large code and infrastructure repositories, including generating, understanding, reviewing, and troubleshooting IaC and production incidents.
  • Familiarity with agentic workflows such as sub-agents, reusable skills, and commands; strong judgment validating AI-generated code and keeping humans involved in critical decisions.
  • Strong Git-based practices using Bitbucket; ability to demonstrate practical AI-native engineering workflows.

Technical knowledge

  • Knowledge of Kubernetes, Helm, Kubernetes Operators, service mesh, cloud networking, DNS, IAM, and secrets management.
  • Proficiency in Git, Bitbucket, and Linux administration; experience with observability, monitoring, logging, CI/CD, GitOps, incident management, and troubleshooting.
  • Knowledge of high availability and disaster recovery practices.
  • Experience with other AI coding tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Gemini; GCP Professional Cloud Architect or Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer certification; and telecommunications, CPaaS, or messaging experience are listed as additional qualifications.

Character traits

Values analytical problem-solving, ownership, accountability, clear communication, collaboration, adaptability, learning, mentorship, resilience, attention to detail, advocacy, and innovation.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and bonus, share scheme, 30 holiday days after the first anniversary, and a birthday day off.
  • May work from anywhere in the world for up to 25 days per year.
  • Paid leave for new parents.
