## About the role

Reflection's Platform Foundations team builds and operates the foundational layer every engineering team depends on — cloud and multi-cloud infrastructure, networking primitives, security guardrails, and developer tooling. The team defines the opinionated golden paths that make the safe, scalable, cost-predictable path also the easiest one to follow, so engineers can ship quickly without reinventing the foundation each time.

## What they're looking for

- Experience building, mentoring, and growing infrastructure or platform teams while staying technically hands-on. (Comfortable growing into leading a team of ~10 quickly if you haven't managed at that scale before.)
- Deep infrastructure or platform engineering experience, with real ownership of production-grade systems at scale
- Strong coding ability and the credibility to earn the technical trust of a strong team
- Deep expertise in at least one of: cloud platforms, network engineering, security architecture, or developer tooling — with working knowledge across the others, and the ability to learn the rest
- Fluency with the modern infra toolkit: Terraform/Pulumi, Kubernetes, CI/CD and build systems (e.g. Bazel), and observability (Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry)
- Experience managing cloud and infrastructure vendors, including negotiating and operating important deals
