What you'll do

• Own the architecture, evolution, reliability, and scalability of bama’s infrastructure.
• Build and execute a clear infrastructure roadmap aligned with the needs of the engineering organization.
• Take ownership of infrastructure, networking, compute, storage, deployment systems, observability, and infrastructure automation.
• Establish strong Infrastructure-as-Code and automation practices and eliminate repetitive operational work.
• Design systems for high availability, scalability, resilience, backup, and disaster recovery.
• Improve production reliability through monitoring, alerting, incident management, capacity planning, and systematic root-cause analysis.
• Work closely with software engineers to make application delivery faster, safer, and more reliable.
• Establish engineering standards around infrastructure, deployment, security, access management, and operational excellence.
• Own infrastructure security and work with relevant teams to identify and mitigate operational and security risks.
• Make pragmatic architecture and technology decisions, balancing reliability, performance, engineering velocity, and cost.
• Build a strong infrastructure organization: define roles, hire exceptional engineers, mentor them, and create an environment where they can do their best work.
• Introduce the processes and engineering practices required for the infrastructure team to scale without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Be hands-on when it matters: investigate production issues, review infrastructure code, troubleshoot complex failures, and build automation when necessary.

What we're looking for

• Linux systems and production environments
• Cloud infrastructure and architecture
• Networking, load balancing, DNS, CDN, firewalls, and security fundamentals
• Infrastructure as Code and configuration management
• CI/CD and modern software delivery practices
• Observability, monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting
• High availability, scalability, fault tolerance, backup, and disaster recovery
• Production troubleshooting and incident response
• Infrastructure and application security
• Database infrastructure and performance fundamentals
• Cost and capacity management

Leadership & ownership

• Take ambiguous problems and turn them into clear technical plans.
• Make decisions and take ownership of their consequences.
• Challenge existing assumptions and improve the way things are done.
• Communicate complex technical topics clearly with engineers and non-engineers.
• Build trust with software, data, security, and business teams.
• Hire and develop strong engineers.
• Set a high technical bar while remaining pragmatic.
• Build the team, processes, and culture almost from the ground up.

Hands-on mindset

Qualifications

• 7+ years of relevant experience in Infrastructure, DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, or related fields.
• Significant experience operating production systems at scale.
• Proven experience designing and evolving infrastructure architecture.
• Experience leading engineers or owning a technical domain end-to-end.
• Strong Linux and networking fundamentals.
• Strong understanding of automation and Infrastructure as Code.
• Experience with production systems and modern infrastructure practices.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field is preferred.
• Graduates of strong engineering/computer science programs are preferred, but demonstrated technical depth and real-world impact matter more than the name of the university.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
