The LevelTen Platform is the world’s largest online hub for renewable energy buyers, sellers, advisors, asset owners and financiers, and delivers the online tools and expertise they need to buy, sell and finance assets quickly.
Join us on a mission that matters.
LevelTen Energy is hiring a Cloud Infrastructure Engineering Manager to lead a team of engineers who run our Google Cloud Platform (GCP) product infrastructure. You’ll own the day-to-day health of our GCP environments while shaping where the platform goes next.
This is a player-coach role.

Build new infrastructure. Work hands-on with lead engineers to design and deliver new infrastructure, from architecture reviews through rollout.
Own infrastructure security. Partner with Engineering on hardening and vulnerability management, and with InfoSec on IAM, network security, compliance, and audit readiness.
Own the roadmap. Build and maintain the infrastructure roadmap, balancing new capabilities, security, scale, and technical debt against product and engineering priorities.
Improve tooling and deployment. Improve our tooling, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD processes so software ships faster and more safely.
Track system performance. Define and monitor SLOs, observability, and capacity, and act on what the data shows.
Manage cloud spend. Track GCP costs, forecast budgets, report to leadership, and drive cost optimization.
