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.

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…
