This role will require being full-time onsite at our New York City or Toronto office to support collaborative team dynamics and innovative problem-solving. You will participate in an on-call rotation covering 8:00am–4:00pm ET.
This is a player-coach role: you'll lead a small team of infrastructure engineers while staying hands-on in the engineering work itself. You'll be an extra set of hands on your team's projects, take on smaller initiatives yourself so the team can stay focused on roadmap work, and help build, shape, and execute our infrastructure roadmap. Expect to spend roughly 60% of your time on hands-on engineering and 40% on leading the team.
What you'll do
Lead the team
Lead and develop a small team of talented infrastructure engineers through regular 1:1s, coaching, feedback, and career development
Help shape a team culture of open communication, craftsmanship, and ownership

Participate in hiring and growing the team
Protect the team's focus by triaging incoming requests and unplanned work, so engineers can stay on roadmap priorities
Stay hands-on

Own and deliver smaller infrastructure initiatives end to end
Participate in the team's on-call rotation (8:00am–4:00pm ET), act as a technical leader during production incidents, and drive postmortems and follow-up work
Champion Infrastructure as Code, automation, and engineering best practices, leading by example
