About the Role
As Manager, Infrastructure, you will own the day-to-day and quarter-to-quarter operation of RZR's four owned-and-operated data centers, including team management, hardware lifecycle, capacity planning, incident response, and vendor relationships. This is a hands-on management role focused on bare-metal operations, latency, and procurement.
Responsibilities
- Manage and develop the InfraOps team across US and APAC time zones.
- Own the weekly DevOps check-in cadence, alert reviews, and 24/7 on-call coverage model.
- Drive P1/P2 incident response end to end, focusing on MTTR reduction, runbook coverage, and alert hygiene.
- Own capacity planning and hardware lifecycle across all four data centers, including procurement, GPU expansion, colo power and space management, and remote-hands logistics.
- Run the annual cloud-vs-colo evaluation and provide recommendations.
- Oversee the core infrastructure stack: Ubuntu/systemd fleet, FreeIPA, Ansible/Salt configuration management, MAAS provisioning, and Zabbix monitoring.
- Manage the spine-leaf Mellanox/NVIDIA network via Netris.
- Support the stateful data tier (Aerospike, Kafka, ClickHouse, Hadoop/HDFS) across capacity limits, evictions, migrations, and low-latency tuning.
- Own colo and vendor relationships and budgets.
- Partner with the security/compliance function on SOC 2 Type 2 evidence, infrastructure hardening, and access reviews.
- Operate comfortably within a multi-entity environment with comfort in M&A-flavored ambiguity.
Requirements
- 6–8 years in infrastructure or data center operations.
- 2+ years managing engineers.
- Bare-metal and colo depth: capacity planning, hardware procurement (Dell/Supermicro), IBX/remote-hands workflows, and physical logistics.
- Network fundamentals at scale: spine-leaf architecture, BGP/peering (100G-class), transit blends, and low-latency tuning.
- Deep Linux operations: systemd, netplan, FreeIPA/Chrony, Ansible and/or Salt, Zabbix, running fleets of hundreds-plus servers.
- Experience operating large stateful distributed systems (Aerospike, Cassandra, Scylla, Kafka, or ClickHouse) under sub-50ms latency budgets and hard capacity limits.
- Demonstrated P1/P2 incident ownership: on-call program management, postmortems, and alert hygiene discipline.
- Hybrid cloud experience alongside owned metal: AWS (IAM, Route 53, GuardDuty, S3).
- Kubernetes exposure is a plus.
- SOC 2 or compliance evidence experience; Okta and Vanta familiarity; security-minded infrastructure approach.
- Experience in adtech, RTB, or other high-QPS, latency-sensitive environments.
- Netris or other SDN controller experience; MAAS provisioning familiarity.
