About the role

We are hiring a Head of Infrastructure.

Our infrastructure is not one production. We run a legacy SaaS on bare-metal, a new SaaS on AWS (Kubernetes, Terraform), client on-prem installations in AWS, and we may deploy into client data centers or private clouds. All of this must work at 99.9%+ SLA under ISO 27001, PCI DSS and MiCA requirements.
We also run our own blockchain node farm with its own reliability requirements.

You lead the Infrastructure department (~40 engineers, 5-7 teams): strategy, people, platform and reliability. You are the technical leader engineers follow, and the person who owns infrastructure commitments to the CTO, product teams, Security and clients.

YOUR FIRST 6-12 MONTHS

Finish the transformation of the infrastructure org into a layered structure (infrastructure as a service, platform/services, SRE, blockchain, internal IT). Keep key people, change what does not work.
Build a platform to manage many environments: one source of truth for what version runs where, release policies per environment (SaaS on demand, bank on-prem with strict control), self-service for developers.
Make SRE/L3 fully own observability and incidents for all productions.
Complete the migration from legacy bare-metal SaaS to AWS and decommission the legacy.
Raise the engineering and hiring bar in the department.

Job description

Set infrastructure strategy for 1-3 years, quarterly goals and roadmap.
Build and develop the team: structure, hiring, growth of team leads.
Own change management, incident management and release processes across all environments.
Approve target SLA/SLO; lead investigation of major incidents.
Align infrastructure with Security, compliance, product teams and clients.
Own infrastructure budget and vendor relationships.
Report status and risks to the CTO and top management.

Required

7+ years in infrastructure / platform / SRE / DevOps.
2+ years leading an infrastructure organization through team leads (3+ teams, 10+ engineers).
Strong technical background. You can review architecture, find weak points and explain to senior engineers why a solution will not work at our scale. Daily hands-on work is not expected, but your technical opinion must be respected by engineers.
Experience running many environments or installations: versioning, rollout strategy, isolation, configuration drift.
Experience with both bare-metal and cloud (AWS preferred), Kubernetes, IaC, observability, networking.
Ownership of reliability: SLA/SLO, incident management, post-mortems, change discipline.
Clear communication with CTO-level stakeholders: priorities, trade-offs, risks.
High hiring bar. You hire people stronger than yourself.

Highly preferred

Experience in regulated environments (fintech, banking, payments): ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2 or similar.
Experience with client on-prem deployments, including environments with limited or no direct access.
Track record of measurable results: MTTR, uptime, cost reduction, deployment speed.
Built an org with clear roles: team leads, tech leads / principal engineers, service ownership.
FinOps: cost attribution and optimization with real numbers.

Nice to have

Blockchain node infrastructure (RPC nodes, validators).
DR/BCP at department level (RTO/RPO).
Internal developer platform experience (Backstage or similar).
