Required Skills: •Lead the design of foundational cloud infrastructure that will be rolled out across the enterprise. Work with stakeholders across engineering and business functions to gather requirements, evaluate technical tradeoffs, and reach consensus. •Design and operate the foundational multi-cloud environment, including the account structure, guardrails, and shared networking and identity that every team builds on top of. •Own the self-service experience for how engineering teams provision accounts, bootstrap resources, and deploy onto paved roads, so teams can move quickly while staying inside a governed, secure foundation. •Author and maintain reusable infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform) that other teams build on, and establish the standards and paved-road patterns for how it is used. •Establish CI/CD, testing, and deployment standards that scale across the enterprise rather than any single product, and drive their adoption across teams. •Build the self-service tooling and paved-road patterns that let engineering teams provision, deploy, and operate their own systems without depending on a central queue. •Own technical evaluation and selection of cloud services, infrastructure tooling, and platforms, making build-vs-buy decisions based on capability, compliance requirements, and speed to value. •Act as the technical anchor for the first infrastructure engineers on the team — leading, coaching, and mentoring them and setting a high engineering bar.

You understand what constitutes maintainable code. •Deep experience designing and operating cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including deploying and running production workloads at scale. •Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform), authoring and maintaining reusable modules and infrastructure that other engineers depend on and build on top of. •Demonstrated ability to work across a broad technical surface area, context-switching between infrastructure, application development, and platform architecture, and to work across teams to understand requirements and seek consensus. •Recognized depth in one or more of: CI/CD and build/release tooling, cloud networking, infrastructure-as-code at scale, or developer platforms and shared engineering tooling, with working fluency across the rest. •Solid functional working knowledge of networking fundamentals (e.g. HTTP, ports, DNS, firewalls, security groups, cloud networking primitives) sufficient to design and troubleshoot connectivity between environments. •Demonstrated capacity to exercise cross-organizational influence and to coach and mentor a team through the delivery of complex technical projects. •Self-directed and comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift and the playbook is being written in real time. Able to work through significant ambiguity to define requirements and deliver results. •US Citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a Top-Secret security clearance.
