Vice President, Infrastructure Engineering

About the role

Our client is a successful Finance firm looking for a Vice President of Infrastructure Engineering to help build and secure their cloud platform. This is a new role for the organization. You’ll write and maintain their infrastructure as code, harden their environments, and make it easier for engineering to ship securely. Experience with Azure is ideal, though AWS or GCP translates well.

What you’ll do

• Build and maintain cloud infrastructure in Terraform, with reusable modules and consistent standards.

• Manage and secure their Kubernetes clusters, including hardened provisioning through Terraform, timely upgrades and patching, and vetted cluster add-ons.

• Maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application deployments, with automated testing and security scanning.

• Apply security best practices across their cloud environments, including least-privilege access, network segmentation, secrets management, encryption, and audit logging.

• Secure Kubernetes workloads with RBAC, network policies, pod security standards, and workload identity.

• Improve monitoring, alerting, and incident response, with an emphasis on detecting and responding to security events.

What the client is looking for

• 3+ years of hands-on experience running production workloads on Azure, AWS, or GCP.

• Production Kubernetes experience (AKS, EKS, or GKE), including secure cluster configuration and deploying workloads with Helm.

• Strong Terraform experience, including writing reusable modules.

• Deep understanding of cloud security, including IAM, network design, and secrets management.

• Experience building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions or similar.

• Familiarity with security frameworks and benchmarks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or CIS.
