What you’ll be doing

  • People: Attract, onboard, and retain diverse top talent. Develop people and the team through coaching, mentoring, and management support. Conduct regular 1:1s, goal setting, and feedback conversations with engineers and support them in their career path. Continuously work to improve inclusion and belonging.
  • Process and Collaboration: Collaborate with multi-functional teams, including development, security and SRE, to ensure seamless integration and implementation of infrastructure solutions. You will work across all of the engineering to implement purposeful automation, standardization, and a push towards self-serve infrastructure with a great developer experience. Your role includes communicating optimally with senior management and other internal partners to provide regular updates on the team's progress, performance, infrastructure project planning, prioritization and risk management.
  • Technical skill: You will collaborate with the team while they implement infrastructure solutions that are reliable, highly available and scalable. You will act as an arbiter in a technical discussion, or ask good questions of your team as they discuss a technical solution.

Who you are

  • People Management: You have proven experience managing, mentoring, training people, including establishing teams and attracting top talent. Bonus points if you have done so in a fast paced and growing startup environment
  • Remote Work: CircleCI is a remote first company and you should have some experience leading and motivating a distributed team.
  • Communication and Learning: You bring action orientation and seek to continuously improve the teams you work with. You believe and excel in a culture centred on open and honest communication, strong feedback, quick experimentation, blamelessness, and accepting failure to learn from it. You work to cultivate this within the team and organization. You approach everything with an open mind and listen to different perspectives before determining a path forward.
  • Technical: You are knowledgeable of Infrastructure practices including Kubernetes/Helm, Infrastructure as Code practices, Secret management, safe infrastructure change rollouts and general cloud native development practices. Experience with agile methodologies is an asset for this position. If you don’t have experience in all of these areas, it’s fine!
