Head of Infrastructure (Hybrid & Cloud)
We are looking for a Head of Infrastructure to own the strategy and execution of our hybrid infrastructure. This role is perfect for a leader who understands the "full stack" of infrastructure-from physical data centers to managed cloud services-and can bridge the gap between technical complexity and business goals. You will lead a team of specialists, ensuring our Linux-based ecosystem and Kubernetes clusters (on-prem and cloud) are reliable, scalable, and fully automated.
- Develop the vision for a hybrid environment that balances the performance of on-prem bare metal with the agility of the public cloud.
- Guide the design of robust, scalable solutions. You aren't the one clicking the buttons, but you are the one ensuring the architecture is sound.
- Build and manage a high-performing team of DevOps and SRE engineers. Foster a culture of accountability and continuous learning.
- Drive the transition toward "No-Ops" by prioritizing automation across all layers of the infrastructure stack.
- Manage the lifecycle of hardware and data center relationships. Balance OpEx (Cloud) and CapEx (On-Prem) effectively.
- Ensure that the infrastructure meets modern security standards, from network isolation to access management.
- A solid understanding of Linux internals, file systems, and server management principles.
- Strong grasp of L2/L3 networking, routing, BGP, and load balancing, especially in the context of connecting data centers to the cloud.
- Good understanding of K8s architecture, including how it runs on bare metal versus managed services (EKS/GKE). You should understand orchestration, persistent storage, and service discovery.
- Experience managing environments in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- Familiarity with the CNCF landscape, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible).
- Proven track record of leading technical teams and managing stakeholders.
- A "the buck stops here" attitude regarding system reliability and team performance.
- The ability to decide when to build on-prem (for cost/performance) and when to use cloud (for speed/flexibility).
- A focus on documentation, post-mortems, and standardized workflows.
- Learning and development opportunities and interesting challenging tasks
- Relocation package (tickets, staying in a hotel for 2 weeks)
- Opportunity to develop language skills and partial compensation for the cost of language classes
- Birthday celebration present
- Time for proper rest and 23 working days of Annual Vacation
