Mesh Senior Engineering Manager, Cloud Infrastructure at Mesh to own and evolve Azure cloud infrastructure and lead a team of engineers. Hands-on role involving Terraform, Kubernetes, and incident response.
Responsibilities
Own and evolve our Azure cloud infrastructure with a focus on reliability, security, and cost efficiency.
Drive infrastructure-as-code practices using Terraform (and ideally Terragrunt), helping the team move toward a code-first approach to everything we build and operate.
Lead container operations on Kubernetes and help the team mature how we deploy and run services.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices that let engineers ship with confidence.
Build out and maintain our Data Infrastructure in the Cloud: Fabric, Database and Warehouses.
Own incident response, from diagnosis through postmortem, and drive meaningful improvement after every significant event.
Partner with security engineering to harden infrastructure and build toward compliance goals.
Build our AI-augmented observability to experiment and remediate issues faster.
Lead, grow, and hire a team of infrastructure engineers — creating clarity, removing blockers, and building a culture of ownership.
Collaborate closely with Backend, Product, and Security teams on architecture decisions and major launches.
Set the standard for observability and reliability across the engineering org.
Qualification

Required
You have 8+ years of engineering experience, with meaningful time managing cloud infrastructure teams. You're as comfortable in a design doc or code review as you are in a leadership meeting and you operate well at both altitudes simultaneously.
You have deep, hands-on cloud infrastructure experience. Azure is our primary cloud; direct Azure experience is a plus, but strong engineers on AWS or GCP who are excited to go deep on Azure are equally competitive.
You've owned DevOps end-to-end: CI/CD pipelines, IaC (Terraform/Terragrunt preferred), container orchestration (Kubernetes), and the deployment and release practices that let engineers ship with confidence.
You have a serious security mindset: AuthN/AuthZ, network isolation, secrets management, zero-trust and you've hardened infrastructure in production at a company where the stakes were high.
You've driven developer productivity improvements that engineering teams actually noticed: internal platforms, toolchain automation, deployment speed, or developer experience initiatives that meaningfully changed how your team works.
You actively use AI tools in your own work and have driven structured adoption on your team, not just encouraged it in the abstract, but changed how work gets done.
You've led distributed teams across time zones. You know how to keep remote engineers aligned, accountable, and energized without defaulting to unnecessary synchronous overhead.
You thrive in ambiguity, move fast when the picture is incomplete, and adjust quickly when priorities shift. You've done this before at a startup or high-growth company.
Payments or crypto domain knowledge is a plus. QA/testing infrastructure experience is a bonus. But intellectual curiosity and a fast ramp matter more than a specific background.
The compensation range provided may span multiple career levels and will be narrowed during the interview process based on factors including a candidate's experience, skills, qualifications, and geographic location. For candidates outside of New York or San Francisco, compensation will be adjusted to reflect the applicable market and location-based pay band.
