Manager, Infrastructure Engineering

About the Role

We're looking for an Infrastructure Engineering Manager to lead a team supporting Airship's cloud infrastructure, build processes, and monitoring systems. You'll provide technical leadership and project support for five engineers in both the United States and France, with potential for the team to grow over time. This role reports to the Director of Infrastructure, who is based in the United States.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll balance people management with technical contribution—anticipating infrastructure needs, planning and executing projects, and ensuring our cloud environment scales with Airship and our customers.

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of infrastructure engineers
• Provide clear direction, feedback, and support to create a productive team environment
• Anticipate, plan, and execute infrastructure projects aligned with company and customer needs
• Participate in hiring as the team grows, including defining hiring strategy and conducting technical interviews
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and security teams
• Support broader company initiatives as needed beyond the immediate team scope
• Maintain and improve cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform
• Drive improvements in CI/CD pipelines, observability, and automation
• Evaluate and implement emerging infrastructure tools and practices
• Support company initiatives around cost optimization, security, disaster recovery, and compliance
• Respond to and manage critical incidents effectively

What You Bring

Required:

• 5+ years in backend or infrastructure engineering roles
• 2+ years managing or mentoring engineers
• Strong project management skills—able to drive initiatives from planning to delivery
• Excellent communication skills in English (required for collaboration with US-based leadership)
• Experience with cloud platforms (GCP preferred, AWS acceptable)
