Your role involves owning the strategy for automation-first operations to eliminate toil, including authoring runbooks and managing change windows. You will utilize Terraform, GitHub Actions, Jira, and ServiceNow to maintain infrastructure. Additionally, you will integrate agentic AI tools like Bedrock and Claude Code into engineering workflows. You must act as a player-coach, contributing directly to Terraform code and architecture reviews while managing people operations and aligning roadmaps with various foundational pods.

What you'll do

  • Oversee account, IAM, and access-request fulfillment by continuously automating repeatable requests into self-service paths.
  • Direct change-management execution, including change-window planning, execution, and partnership with the enterprise change function.
  • Command major production cloud incidents and lead blameless post-incident reviews to drive platform and monitoring improvements.
  • Embed agentic AI capabilities into support functions for automated ticket triage, runbook generation, and conversational self-service.
  • Recruit, mentor, and manage a globally distributed team of senior cloud engineers across the US and India.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of progressive technical experience including 5+ years in cloud infrastructure or platform engineering leadership.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent work experience).
  • 5+ years of hands-on production AWS experience in a multi-account landing zone with 4+ years authoring production Terraform.
  • 3+ years of experience as a direct people manager of engineering teams of 5+ engineers.
  • 5+ years of experience leading and participating in 24x7 production on-call rotations in a regulated environment (financial services preferred).
  • 3+ years of experience leading a 24x7 Tier 1 / Tier 2 cloud operations or support function at enterprise scale.
  • Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or an MBA (preferred).
