Partner with senior ICs and adjacent teams on the roadmap for cluster lifecycle management, upgrades, reliability, observability, and infrastructure automation
Improve the team's operational excellence across incident response, on-call health, root-cause analysis, and service ownership
Drive engineering best practices for safe change management, testing, rollout quality, and production readiness
Support the design and operation of platform capabilities for provisioning, patching, upgrades, scaling, and troubleshooting of Kubernetes clusters
Build strong cross-functional relationships with compute, networking, storage, security, and product stakeholders
Hire, coach, and develop engineers while creating a high-accountability, high-trust team culture
Establish and improve mechanisms for planning, prioritization, execution tracking, and continuous improvement
Help translate complex platform and infrastructure work into clear business and customer value

Requirements

Experience managing an infrastructure, platform, or SRE-oriented engineering team
Strong technical depth in Kubernetes, distributed systems, and production infrastructure
Experience operating Kubernetes in complex environments, ideally including bare metal, hybrid, or highly performance-sensitive systems
Familiarity with cluster lifecycle management, including provisioning, upgrades, node operations, observability, and reliability engineering
Track record of improving team execution, engineering quality, and operational maturity
Experience leading incident response cultures and driving follow-through on reliability improvements
Strong partnership skills across engineering, product, and operations functions
Ability to coach engineers at different levels and create clarity in ambiguous or fast-scaling environments
Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain technical trade-offs and priorities clearly
Experience with GPU-heavy, HPC, or ML infrastructure environments
Experience with bare-metal infrastructure, server lifecycle operations, or low-level systems troubleshooting
Familiarity with Kubernetes networking, storage, and security primitives in production
Experience building internal platform products used by other engineering teams or external customers
Experience with infrastructure automation using tools such as Go, Python, controllers/operators, or configuration management systems
