Job Description - Tech Lead Manager-Cloud Infrastructure

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on Tech Lead Manager (TLM) to lead a small, high-impact infrastructure engineering team. This role is for someone who codes as much as they lead — you'll be setting technical direction, reviewing designs and PRs, and staying close to production, while also owning team execution, hiring, and mentorship. You should be equally comfortable debugging a production incident at 2 AM and writing a quarterly roadmap.

What You'll Do

  • Lead and grow a team of 3–4 infrastructure/platform engineers — set priorities, run 1:1s, mentor, and support career growth
  • Own the technical architecture and roadmap for cloud infrastructure across compute, networking, and platform tooling
  • Stay hands-on: write code, review PRs, design systems, and personally drive complex or high-risk technical initiatives
  • Build and maintain scalable, secure, and cost-efficient infrastructure on AWS
  • Drive Infrastructure as Code practices across the team using Terraform, CloudFormation, and Helm
  • Operate and scale Kubernetes clusters in production, including upgrades, capacity planning, and reliability improvements
  • Champion an operational mindset — own on-call processes, incident response, postmortems, and continuous reliability improvements
  • Automate operational workflows using Python and Bash
  • Partner with cross-functional teams (security, product, application engineering) to align infrastructure with business needs
  • Evaluate and introduce new tools/practices (e.g., GitOps workflows) to improve developer velocity and system reliability

Must-Have Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure / platform / DevOps engineering, including prior experience leading or mentoring engineers
  • Strong hands-on expertise with Kubernetes (cluster operations, troubleshooting, scaling, upgrades)
  • Deep experience with AWS (core services, networking, IAM, cost and capacity management)
  • Strong coding ability in Python and Bash for automation and tooling
  • Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code: CloudFormation, Terraform, and Helm
  • Demonstrated operational mindset — comfortable owning uptime, incident response, and on-call practices for a production environment
  • Experience leading or tech-leading a small team (3–4 engineers), including code/design reviews and technical mentorship

Good to Have

  • Experience with Azure and/or OCI
  • Proficiency in Go
  • Hands-on experience with GitOps workflows and tooling (e.g., ArgoCD, Flux)

What We're Looking For

  • A strong individual contributor at heart who has grown into (or is ready to grow into) people leadership
  • Someone who leads by example technically — writing code and setting the bar, not just delegating
  • Excellent judgment under pressure, especially during incidents
  • Clear communicator who can translate technical tradeoffs to both engineers and stakeholders
