The role

The client is looking for a Head of Infrastructure to own and evolve the client's entire infrastructure stack. This is not a people-management role - it's a hands-on position for someone who thrives on building, securing, and scaling systems, while defining the standards others will follow as the team grows.

What you'll do

• Compliance & Security: Ensure the client's infrastructure and processes are compliant with HIPAA and other relevant frameworks. Build and enforce security, audit, and data protection practices.
• Multi-Cloud Architecture: Design, operate, and evolve resilient infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and potentially other providers. Balance portability, cost, and compliance requirements.
• Kubernetes Operations: Own the client's Kubernetes clusters (multi-cloud), including networking, scaling, upgrades, security hardening, and workload orchestration.
• Observability & Reliability: Define and enforce standards for logging, metrics, tracing, dashboards, and alerting. Make sure teams have visibility into systems and can respond effectively.
• Incident Management: Build and maintain a strong incident response process, including runbooks, on-call practices, and postmortems.
• Automation & Infrastructure as Code: Lead the adoption and best practices for Pulumi (or equivalent), CI/CD pipelines, and self-service infra tooling.

Candidate Requirements

• Proven experience building and running production infrastructure in regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR, etc).
• Deep expertise with Kubernetes in production, ideally across multiple cloud providers.
• Strong multi-cloud experience, especially AWS and GCP.
• Hands-on mindset - comfortable digging into systems, writing Pulumi modules, debugging incidents, or optimizing CI/CD pipelines.
• Track record of implementing observability, monitoring, and incident response systems that scale.
• Familiarity with zero-trust networking, secrets management, and compliance frameworks.
• Ability to balance technical depth with pragmatism: you know where to build from scratch vs. where to leverage vendor solutions.

Nice to have

• Experience managing backend engineers who build infrastructure services - not as a people manager, but as a technical leader who can guide, unblock, and raise the bar for engineering teams building infra-adjacent systems.
• Hands-on experience with graph databases (e.g. Neo4j, Amazon Neptune) and document storage systems (e.g. Firestore, MongoDB) in production environments.
