Head of Infrastructure (Hybrid & Cloud)

Description

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.

Responsibilities

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.

Requirements

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.

Benefits

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
