Technical Lead Manager, Infrastructure

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in New York.

📋 Description

• Lead and build the platform engineering team, overseeing recruitment, performance management, and career development to expand the team within a growing engineering organization while maintaining high technical and cultural standards.

• Take charge of the infrastructure roadmap and technical strategy, translating product and business requirements into a prioritized backlog and documented architectural choices that balance speed, cost, and reliability.

• Enhance engineering productivity by promoting self-service infrastructure, optimizing CI/CD for the monorepo, and developing developer tools that reduce deployment times to mere minutes.

• Elevate the standards for reliability and security with zero-trust IAM, comprehensive observability across tier-1 services, proactive alerting, and blameless incident and post-mortem practices, aiming for multi-region readiness and institutional-grade SLOs.

• Collaborate with product, protocol, and business teams to advocate for platform engineering in planning, translating infrastructure trade-offs into business implications, and ensuring the platform facilitates rather than hinders product delivery.

• Define the engineering culture through exemplary practices including clear architectural documentation, infrastructure-as-code standards, and mentorship that empowers engineers to grow and deliver with confidence.

⛳️ Requirements

• A minimum of 8 years of experience in infrastructure or platform engineering, including at least 3 years in managerial roles overseeing engineering teams.

• Proven history of building and scaling production infrastructure from startup to enterprise level, taking responsibility for reliability and developer experience outcomes.

• Experience leading platform or infrastructure transformations that have demonstrably enhanced developer velocity and reliability, supported by concrete metrics.

• Profound technical knowledge in event-driven architectures, Kubernetes-based platforms, GitOps, and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred).

• Sufficiently hands-on to review architecture, steer technical discussions, and participate in incident response, all while prioritizing management responsibilities.

• Strong cross-functional leadership skills: able to impact decisions across product, protocol, and business teams without direct authority.

• Ability to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where established procedures are not yet defined.

• Excellent asynchronous communication skills demonstrated through RFCs, runbooks, and incident reviews.

• High level of ownership and autonomy combined with a team-oriented, low-ego approach.

• A genuine interest in cryptocurrency and decentralized finance (DeFi).
