Are you interested in the complex problems of creating and maintaining scalable, secure infrastructure in the cloud? Do you want to influence infrastructure at a global scale and bring security by design to a platform that touches millions of people every day? Are you inspired by the pursuit of operational excellence and energized by being part of a team learning from you and alongside you? 

The Restricted Infrastructure and Stacks team is dedicated to maintaining, improving, and growing the infrastructure on which sensitive workloads processed by our compliant applications reside. We’re a security-focused team that works with several different stakeholders to ensure our compliance environments exceed regulatory and industry standards.   

We set the standard for secure and compliant infrastructure at a global scale, addressing a spectrum of challenging problems in a supportive team environment that fuels the professional growth of each individual. From daily operational issues to refactoring Infrastructure as Code to assisting application developers, Restricted Infrastructure and Stacks does it all.  

We are looking for a Lead Production Engineer with a solid understanding of cloud infrastructure architecture, comfortable working at several levels of the technology stack, and who fosters a culture of mentorship and collaboration with the team. You'll use your expertise and passion to multiply the overall output of the team. As a technical leader, you'll guide the technical design and get hands on to drive the team's vision to its implementation.
You’ll solve day-to-day problems to keep our systems running and the developers using our platform productive, removing toil and investing in team productivity as we evolve. You will improve and scale the platform, integrating new technologies and supporting expanded security and compliance objectives. You will collaborate with engineers in other teams to anticipate future issues, and craft creative, cross-disciplinary solutions to complex problems.
