This is product infrastructure at the highest scale. Our user base and performance demands are growing at an unprecedented rate, and the team's mandate is to scale ahead of that demand: evolving our systems to meet customer growth, running our stack across all three major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP), and unblocking the bottlenecks that enable our org's development speed at the highest standard of quality. You'll lead an organization of multiple teams, and you'll set the strategy and standard for performance, reliability, and output for product engineers. This is a company-critical charter: the output of this org largely determines how fast the entire product organization can move and how far we can scale. You'll define direction and partner with leaders across product, research, and infrastructure. Just as importantly, you'll grow the leaders under you, developing managers and senior engineers so the org's leadership bench deepens as it scales.
