Lead Infrastructure Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own the roadmap and partner with our team on technical direction for Brisk's platform — core infrastructure, CI/CD, developer tooling, and shared services.
• Mentor, and grow a small team of platform/infrastructure engineers (or grow into managing one, if you join as an IC).
• Stay hands‑on: design, build, and maintain the AWS‑based infrastructure that powers our products.
• Drive reliability and scalability so performance stays seamless as our user base expands.
• Lead observability, monitoring, incident response, and on‑call practices.
• Partner with product engineers to keep development workflows smooth and production stable.
• Make the architectural calls that balance rapid product development with long‑term reliability and security.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in software engineering with a strong focus on infrastructure.
• People management experience, or a track record as a tech lead/mentor with a clear desire to people manage.
• Experience designing scalable, cloud‑native architectures on AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, etc.).
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and monitoring tools.
• A problem‑solving mentality — comfortable moving between infra, backend, and occasional product work.
• Strong written and oral communication, a proactive mindset, and the ability to operate independently in ambiguity.
