## About the role

You will lead our Compute, Data, and DevEx teams - everything Genius AI ships is powered by what this role owns. You will set the reliability bar, own vendor spend, and build the self-service platform that lets product engineers ship. You will define what the platform becomes and grow/evolve the team who builds it. You will report to the VP of Engineering. You must be commutable to our San Francisco office and will operate in an in-person environment, as we default to being in-office 3-4 days per week.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of infrastructure or platform engineering experience, with at least 4 years managing or leading engineering teams at a high-growth technology company
- Fundamentally changed how your team operates because of AI, and you can name the system you designed, the work it absorbed, and what your engineers stopped doing as a result
- Make decisions and move: you set a technical direction with incomplete information, ship something, and adjust based on what the data tells you
- Managed managers or tech leads before, and scaled a team through a period of real growth without letting the performance bar or the culture slip
- Deep hands-on expertise across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD, and modern observability tooling, with the ability to debug a complex distributed system yourself when it matters
- Strong business acumen: you treat cloud spend, developer velocity, and reliability as part of enablement and not a cost center. We believe this function to be directly connected business levers rather than separate engineering metrics
