We are looking for Director of Infrastructure Engineering candidates for a project delivered through micro1.
What you'll do
- Own the architecture and evolution of our multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP, optimizing for scalability, reliability, security, and cost.
- Lead and grow a high-performing Infrastructure/Platform Engineering team while establishing a strong engineering culture centered on ownership, operational excellence, and continuous improvement.
- Build infrastructure as code using Terraform (or equivalent), ensuring reproducible, version-controlled, and auditable environments.
- Design and improve CI/CD systems that enable fast, reliable, and secure software delivery.
- Build world-class observability across metrics, logs, traces, and alerting to proactively detect and resolve production issues.
- Define and drive reliability practices, including incident response, on-call operations, SLOs, error budgets, disaster recovery, and blameless postmortems.
- Partner closely with Security and Engineering leadership to embed security by default and maintain compliance with frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and CMMC.
- Continuously improve the developer experience by reducing operational friction through automation and platform tooling.
What you need
- 8+ years building and operating production infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, or SRE systems.
- 3+ years leading engineering teams in high-growth environments.
- Deep expertise with AWS, GCP, or multi-cloud production environments.
- Strong experience with Terraform, Kubernetes, containers, and modern CI/CD platforms.
- Proven experience building highly available, observable, and resilient production systems.
- Strong understanding of infrastructure security, compliance, and operational risk management.
- Experience scaling engineering organizations and infrastructure in fast-moving startup environments.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence technical strategy across engineering and executive stakeholders.
Nice to have
- Experience supporting AI/ML infrastructure or large-scale data platforms.
- Familiarity with model training, inference, evaluation, or data pipeline infrastructure.
- Experience operating regulated cloud environments such as FedRAMP, GovCloud, or CMMC Level 2.
- Contributions to platform engineering, open-source infrastructure, or developer productivity initiatives.
