This role will require being full-time onsite at our Toronto or New York City office to support collaborative team dynamics and innovative problem-solving. You will participate in an on-call rotation covering 8:00am–4:00pm ET.

This is a player-coach role: you'll lead a small team of infrastructure engineers while staying hands-on in the engineering work itself. You'll be an extra set of hands on your team's projects, take on smaller initiatives yourself so the team can stay focused on roadmap work, and help build, shape, and execute our infrastructure roadmap. Expect to spend roughly 60% of your time on hands-on engineering and 40% on leading the team.

What you'll doLead the team
  • Lead and develop a small team of talented infrastructure engineers through regular 1:1s, coaching, feedback, and career development
  • Help shape a team culture of open communication, craftsmanship, and ownership
  • Take direct responsibility for the quality and delivery of the team's work
  • Participate in hiring and growing the team
  • Protect the team's focus by triaging incoming requests and unplanned work, so engineers can stay on roadmap priorities
Stay hands-on
  • Be an extra set of hands on your team's projects: pair on hard problems, unblock work, review designs and code, and pick up pieces of larger efforts when it helps the team move faster
  • Own and deliver smaller infrastructure initiatives end to end
  • Participate in the team's on-call rotation (8:00am–4:00pm ET), act as a technical leader during production incidents, and drive postmortems and follow-up work
  • Champion Infrastructure as Code, automation, and engineering best practices, leading by example
Shape the roadmap
  • Partner with the Head of Infrastructure to build, shape, and execute the infrastructure roadmap
  • Translate long-term goals into concrete, shippable milestones, and plan, estimate, and make tradeoffs with your team
  • Own and be accountable for KPIs covering the reliability, resiliency, and uptime of critical services
  • Collaborate with engineering, security, and product teams to identify infrastructure requirements, risks, and opportunities, including cloud cost optimization
  • Facilitate thorough documentation and knowledge sharing

  • Extensive experience securing, scaling, and operating Kubernetes in production, with associated tooling (ArgoCD, GitOps, Grafana) and advanced Terraform
  • Hands-on experience with a major public cloud provider. We operate primarily on AWS but believe skills in one cloud provider translate to others
