About the role

Every SpotOn engineering team ships code through the delivery platform this team owns, and runs it on the Kubernetes platform it operates. You'll lead the two Infrastructure teams responsible for both: Delivery (CI/CD, GitOps, and the developer platform) and Compute (Kubernetes, EC2). Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years managing engineers on platform, infrastructure, or developer-productivity teams
  • Experience leading senior and staff-level engineers. You can set direction without being the deepest expert in the room
  • Sound technical judgment in Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), and in CI/CD and GitOps delivery. You can assess designs, production risk, and trade-offs, and ask the questions that lead to durable solutions

  • Experience owning production reliability: on-call health, incident response, and systemic follow-through
  • Clear, direct communication with engineers, peer leaders, and non-technical stakeholders
