Head of Infrastructure

About the role

We are looking for atechnically strong Head of Infrastructure to lead our infrastructure engineering function, includingDevOps, Systems, Network, and related engineering teams.

This isnot a pure people-management role. We are looking for an experienced engineering leader who combines strong technical expertise with the ability to lead multiple teams and take ownership of infrastructure as a whole.

You should be able to make sound infrastructure decisions, challenge architectural approaches, identify systemic weaknesses, and understand technical trade-offs — while building an effective engineering organization around you.

What you’ll do

• Lead DevOps and related Infrastructure Engineering teams.
• Build and continuously improve processes across the Infrastructure/Operations function.
• Own thereliability, performance, scalability, and operational quality of production infrastructure.
• Participate in key infrastructure and architecture decisions.
• Define and drive theinfrastructure roadmap and technical debt reduction.
• Establish and improve incident management, postmortem, and recurring-problem management processes.
• Develop monitoring, observability, capacity planning, and disaster recovery practices.
• Improve production change management and increase infrastructure automation.
• Partner closely with Backend Engineering, Security, and other technical teams.
• Hire, develop, mentor, and evaluate engineers and technical leads.
• Define technical standards and operational requirements for production systems.
• Ensure infrastructure decisions are aligned with business needs, reliability goals, and long-term scalability.

Your technical background

We expect a strong engineering background and a practical understanding of how modern production infrastructure works.

You should have solid knowledge of:

• Linux and operating system fundamentals.
• TCP/IP, routing, DNS, load balancing, firewalls, and modern network architectures.
• Kubernetes and container infrastructure.
• Virtualization and bare-metal infrastructure.
• Infrastructure as Code and configuration management.
• CI/CD and deployment processes.
• Monitoring, metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting.
• High-availability and fault-tolerant architectures.
• Storage, databases, and distributed systems at a level sufficient for infrastructure decision-making.
• Security practices for production infrastructure.
• Backups, disaster recovery, and business continuity.

You won’t be expected to configure servers or Kubernetes clusters on a daily basis. However, you should be able togo deep into technical problems when needed, ask the right questions, understand engineering trade-offs, and independently evaluate proposed technical solutions.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has experience managingDevOps, SRE, Infrastructure, or similar engineering teams.
• Knows how to lead through technical leads and senior engineers rather than becoming a bottleneck for every technical decision.
• Can balancereliability, delivery speed, infrastructure costs, and technical debt.
• Can turn infrastructure challenges into a clear, prioritized engineering backlog and systematically address them.
• Can establish effective processes without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Can lead major production incident reviews with a focus on systemic causes and prevention rather than blame.
• Can communicate complex technical topics effectively to both engineers and company leadership.
• Takes ownership of infrastructure not just as a collection of systems, but as astrategic engineering function.

What success looks like

We want Infrastructure to operate as amature engineering function, rather than a reactive team handling an endless stream of operational requests.

Success means that Infrastructure has:

• Clear ownership and technical standards.
• A well-defined architecture and infrastructure roadmap.
• Transparent priorities and measurable goals.
• Strong reliability and operational practices.
• Effective incident and problem management.
• A high level of automation.
• Clear visibility into infrastructure risks, constraints, and technical debt.

As Head of Infrastructure, you will maintain a clear understanding of the current state of our infrastructure, its major risks and constraints, and — most importantly — a concrete plan for its continued development.

What we offer

• L&D Center with professional development courses for employees and top managers.

• Rotation Program to explore new areas and expand your expertise.

• Medical insurance.

• Paid annual leave.

• Sick days.

• Self-learning library and access to paid professional courses.

• Stable and timely payments.

• Evoplay Discount Program with special offers and partner discounts.

• Flexible work schedule and remote work opportunities.

• Mental health support — group discussions and individual sessions with a psychologist.
