Quick Facts

• Role: Director of Engineering, Builder Infrastructure

Description

Lead engineering for Builder Infrastructure, the foundation of the Builder Platform that enables a self-service path from idea to production for builders. Set multi-year direction and ownership across Cloud Engineering, Container Platform, and Infrastructure Security, accountable for infrastructure velocity, reliability, security posture, and cost. Drive AI-first, global-by-default infrastructure operations, including end-to-end security for people, workloads, and agent-driven changes.

Responsibilities

• Define and deliver a multi-year Builder Infrastructure strategy aligned to growth across regions, accounts, and services

• Design the domain and ownership model so teams can ship independently behind clear interfaces across Krakow and the US

• Lead and develop engineering managers and senior engineers; build bench and succession planning

• Run infrastructure as a product with paved roads, published APIs, and success measured by adoption, lead time, and toil

• Set direction for AI-operated infrastructure where agents provision/patch/upgrade/remediate within policy and human approval for higher-risk changes

• Own end-to-end security implementation, including least-privilege identity and continuously rebuilt hardened images

• Make high-impact tradeoffs across reliability, security, cost, and delivery speed; rebalance investment between new capabilities and technical debt

• Experience delivering infrastructure that scales ahead of business growth with sublinear headcount using automation, self-service, and API-driven control planes

• Depth across cloud, container, and identity systems sufficient to review large-scale designs and explain design evolution

• Experience running infrastructure in a regulated environment with security and compliance treated as design constraints from the start

• Credibility with executives up to the C-suite; translating infrastructure risk, cost, and investment into business terms
