About the Role

Hadrian's infrastructure teams operate the software systems that run manufacturing operations, from Kubernetes-based compute platforms to factory floor systems. As Director of Engineering, Infrastructure, you will own the platform that everything else runs on, leading a team of 12-15 engineers and reporting to the VP of Engineering. This leadership role requires prior experience at scale, strong technical decision-making, and the ability to build and retain a high-performing team.

Responsibilities

Define and execute Hadrian's infrastructure strategy across compute, networking, and storage.
Architect and scale Kubernetes platforms for multi-region, high-availability workloads.
Own the reliability and performance of core infrastructure systems, establishing SLOs/SLIs and incident response standards.
Drive infrastructure cost optimization and efficiency across cloud and on-prem environments.
Lead and grow a team of 12-15 engineers across platform, SRE, and infrastructure disciplines.
Partner closely with DevOps and Developer Experience teams without owning those functions directly.
Establish clear ownership boundaries between infrastructure and adjacent teams.
Ensure our infrastructure is secure and compliant with relevant regulations.
Drive multi-region and high-availability architecture strategy as we expand to new factory locations.

Requirements

10-15+ years in infrastructure or platform engineering, including 5+ years in engineering leadership.
Deep, hands-on expertise in Kubernetes: cluster architecture, scheduling, scaling, and day-2 operations.
Strong foundation in compute, networking, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure (AWS and/or GCP).
Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or equivalent).
Proven track record designing for reliability, redundancy, and failure recovery.
Ability to set technical direction at the company level and operate autonomously.
Experience building and scaling high-performing engineering teams.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent hands-on experience.
Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual, or eligible for necessary U.S. Department of State authorizations due to ITAR regulations.
