Job description
An established, profitable consumer technology company is hiring a Director of Infrastructure & IT Operations to own both sides of the house: the production infrastructure behind a platform serving 20M+ monthly visitors, and the internal IT that keeps the company running day to day.
The cloud environment and operational practices are actively being modernized. This is a build seat, not a caretaker seat.
What you'll own
Cloud infrastructure and architecture (AWS), SRE, and production operations
Reliability at scale: SLOs, observability, incident command, disaster recovery
Traffic protection (bot mitigation, scraping defense, automated abuse prevention)
Corporate IT, helpdesk, and employee technology
Vendor management, infrastructure budget, and cloud cost
What the role requires
10+ years across cloud infrastructure, SRE, platform engineering, or IT operations
5+ years leading teams, including managers or technical leads
Real ownership of high-traffic, customer-facing platforms in AWS or equivalent
Comfort spanning production engineering and employee-facing IT - most leaders have one, not both
Strong technical judgment matters here. This is a leadership role that still expects you to make architectural calls.
Fully remote, US-based
Compensation: Up to $200k/year + bonus
