Head of Infrastructure

Director-level individual contributor. No people management. You own the entire infrastructure stack - build it, secure it, scale it.

Must haves

- Production infrastructure experience in a regulated environment (HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR, or equivalent). You've dealt with audits, compliance controls, and know why "it works on my machine" doesn't cut it.
- Deep Kubernetes expertise running production workloads. You troubleshoot clusters under pressure, not just deploy YAML from a tutorial.
- Multi-cloud: AWS and GCP. You operate across both, understand the tradeoffs, and don't default to one provider for everything.
- Infrastructure as Code in production. Pulumi or Terraform. You write it, you review it, you own it.
- Observability and incident response. You've built monitoring, alerting, and on-call systems that actually catch problems before customers do.
- Currently or recently hands-on. This is not a management track. If your last production contribution was a slide deck, this role is not for you.

What you'll actually do

- Design and operate the multi-cloud Kubernetes infrastructure across AWS and GCP.
- Implement and enforce HIPAA/SOC2 compliance across the entire stack.
- Write Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi). Review it. Ship it.
- Build the observability and incident response pipeline - metrics, logs, traces, alerting.
- Set technical infrastructure standards for the engineering team.
- Own production incidents from detection to postmortem.

What we won't ask you to do

- Manage people.
- Write status reports.
- Attend meetings about meetings about infrastructure.
