Engineering Leader for Release Engineering, Sec Dev Ops , and Site Reliability Engineering
We're looking for a hands-on engineering leader to build and own the Release Engineering, Sec Dev Ops , and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) functions for Infinia. This is a foundational role: you'll define how our software is built, secured, released, and kept running at enterprise scale.
If you thrive at the intersection of infrastructure automation, operational excellence, and team building — and you want your work to directly shape the reliability and velocity of a market-leading storage platform — this is your role.
What You'll DoRelease Engineering- Own the end-to-end release pipeline — build systems, artifact management, versioning, and release gating
- Drive automation of build, test, and packaging workflows to maximize developer velocity
- Define release cadence, branching strategies, and code freeze processes with engineering leadership
- Architect and operate scalable CI/CD pipelines and developer tool chains for on-prem and cloud
- Embed security into the SDLC — SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, secrets management
- Champion automation-first Dev Ops practices from commit to production delivery
- Define SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets; own incident response and post-mortem culture
- Drive observability — logging, metrics, distributed tracing — across the platform
- Influence reliability and operability early, at design and code-review stages
- Lead capacity planning and infrastructure scaling decisions
- Build, mentor, and grow teams across all three disciplines in a global, distributed org
- Communicate roadmap and risks to senior leadership; partner cross-functionally with product, QA, and security
- 12+ years in Dev Ops, Release Engineering, or SRE — with 5+ years managing engineering teams
- Deep experience with CI/CD platforms (Git Hub Actions, Jenkins, Git Lab CI, Tekton, or similar)
- Infrastructure-as-code fluency:
Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, or equivalent - Container orchestration expertise:
Kubernetes and Docker in production - Practical Dev Sec Ops background — you've shipped security tooling, not just talked about it
- SRE chops: SLO/SLI design, on-call frameworks, observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Open Telemetry)
- Strong communicator — you can translate complex technical tradeoffs for exec and non-technical audiences
- Experience with storage, distributed systems, or infrastructure software
- Familiarity with HPC, AI/ML infrastructure, or enterprise data platforms
- Background scaling Dev Ops in high-growth, globally distributed environments
- Exposure to SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP compliance requirements
- Work on infrastructure that underpins some of the world's most demanding AI and research workloads
- Greenfield opportunity to shape Release Engineering, Dev Ops, and SRE from the ground up for Infinia
- Collaborative, engineering-first culture that values autonomy, technical depth, and continuous learning
- Competitive compensation, remote-first flexibility, and a team that genuinely enjoys solving hard problems
