Senior Engineering Manager, Cloud Infrastructure

MeshSan Francisco, CA
Hybrid

About The Position

We are hiring a Senior Engineering Manager, Cloud Infrastructure, to own and evolve the technical foundation that powers everything we build. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will be deep in the infrastructure yourself, writing Terraform, operating AKS clusters in production, and showing up to incidents with a diagnosis, not just a status update, while leading and growing a team of engineers.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of engineering experience, with meaningful time managing cloud infrastructure teams.
  • Deep, hands-on cloud infrastructure experience. Azure is our primary cloud; direct Azure experience is a plus, but strong engineers on AWS or GCP who are excited to go deep on Azure are equally competitive.
  • Owned DevOps end-to-end: CI/CD pipelines, IaC (Terraform/Terragrunt preferred), container orchestration (Kubernetes), and the deployment and release practices that let engineers ship with confidence.
  • Serious security mindset: AuthN/AuthZ, network isolation, secrets management, zero-trust and you've hardened infrastructure in production at a company where the stakes were high.
  • Driven developer productivity improvements that engineering teams actually noticed: internal platforms, toolchain automation, deployment speed, or developer experience initiatives that meaningfully changed how your team works.
  • Actively use AI tools in your own work and have driven structured adoption on your team, not just encouraged it in the abstract, but changed how work gets done.
  • Led distributed teams across time zones. You know how to keep remote engineers aligned, accountable, and energized without defaulting to unnecessary synchronous overhead.
  • Thrive in ambiguity, move fast when the picture is incomplete, and adjust quickly when priorities shift. You've done this before at a startup or high-growth company.
  • Bay Area based and willing to travel regularly to SF to work with the team and clients in person.

Nice To Haves

  • Payments or crypto domain knowledge is a plus.
  • QA/testing infrastructure experience is a bonus.
  • Intellectual curiosity and a fast ramp matter more than a specific background.

Responsibilities

  • Own and evolve our Azure cloud infrastructure with a focus on reliability, security, and cost efficiency.
  • Drive infrastructure-as-code practices using Terraform (and ideally Terragrunt), helping the team move toward a code-first approach to everything we build and operate.
  • Lead container operations on Kubernetes and help the team mature how we deploy and run services.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices that let engineers ship with confidence.
  • Build out and maintain our Data Infrastructure in the Cloud: Fabric, Database and Warehouses.
  • Own incident response, from diagnosis through postmortem, and drive meaningful improvement after every significant event.
  • Partner with security engineering to harden infrastructure and build toward compliance goals.
  • Build our AI-augmented observability to experiment and remediate issues faster.
  • Lead, grow, and hire a team of infrastructure engineers — creating clarity, removing blockers, and building a culture of ownership.
  • Collaborate closely with Backend, Product, and Security teams on architecture decisions and major launches.
  • Set the standard for observability and reliability across the engineering org.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and equity that grows as you and the company grow
  • Comprehensive health coverage for you and your family
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Dedicated budget for courses, conferences, and certifications
  • Remote-friendly approach
  • Top-tier tools and equipment
