Job Description
About the Role
We're looking for a hands-on Tech Lead Manager (TLM) to lead a small, high-impact infrastructure engineering team. This role is for someone who codes as much as they lead — you'll be setting technical direction, reviewing designs and PRs, and staying close to production, while also owning team execution, hiring, and mentorship. You should be equally comfortable debugging a production incident at 2 AM and writing a quarterly roadmap.
What You'll Do
- Lead and grow a team of 3–4 infrastructure/platform engineers — set priorities, run 1:1s, mentor, and support career growth
- Own the technical architecture and roadmap for cloud infrastructure across compute, networking, and platform tooling
- Stay hands-on: write code, review PRs, design systems, and personally drive complex or high-risk technical initiatives
- Build and maintain scalable, secure, and cost-efficient infrastructure on AWS
- Drive Infrastructure as Code practices across the team using Terraform, CloudFormation, and Helm
- Operate and scale Kubernetes clusters in production, including upgrades, capacity planning, and reliability improvements
- Champion an operational mindset — own on-call processes, incident response, postmortems, and continuous reliability improvements
- Automate operational workflows using Python and Bash
- Partner with cross-functional teams (security, product, application engineering) to align infrastructure with business needs
- Evaluate and introduce new tools/practices (e.g., GitOps workflows) to improve developer velocity and system reliability
Must-Have Requirements
- 6+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure / platform / DevOps engineering, including prior experience leading or mentoring engineers
- Strong hands-on expertise with Kubernetes (cluster operations, troubleshooting, scaling, upgrades)
- Deep experience with AWS (core services, networking, IAM, cost and capacity management)
- Strong coding ability in Python and Bash for automation and tooling
- Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code: CloudFormation, Terraform, and Helm
- Demonstrated operational mindset — comfortable owning uptime, incident response, and on-call practices for a production environment
- Experience leading or tech-leading a small team (3–4 engineers), including code/design reviews and technical mentorship
Good to Have
- Experience with Azure and/or OCI
- Proficiency in Go
- Hands-on experience with GitOps workflows and tooling (e.g., ArgoCD, Flux)
What We're Looking For
- A strong individual contributor at heart who has grown into (or is ready to grow into) people leadership
- Someone who leads by example technically — writing code and setting the bar, not just delegating
- Excellent judgment under pressure, especially during incidents
- Clear communicator who can translate technical tradeoffs to both engineers and stakeholders
