Senior Engineering Manager, Infrastructure-IAM

Your Mission

Our infrastructure charter is simple: “we empower feature teams to build the features they need, the way they choose, fast.” As Senior Engineering Manager for the Infrastructure team, you’ll own the platform that makes this real. That means world-class build pipelines, a Terraform-based cloud foundation, disciplined AWS account organization, and cost optimization strategies that keep us moving without burning cash. You’ll be building the developer leverage that lets every other team at Engine ship faster and more confidently. You’ll lead a high-performing team of infrastructure engineers, setting technical direction, hiring top talent, and partnering closely with feature teams to understand what they need to move fast.

What You’ll Own

• Design and evolve Engine’s CI/CD and build pipeline infrastructure to maximize developer velocity and reliability across all teams.
• Own our Terraform-based infrastructure, defining standards, module libraries, and guardrails that feature teams can build on with confidence.
• Lead AWS account organization and governance: account vending, IAM strategy, tagging standards, and Control Tower or equivalent structures.
• Drive cloud cost optimization: establishing visibility through tagging and reporting, managing reservations and savings plans, and finding actionable savings opportunities.
• Build the self-service developer tooling and internal platforms that let feature teams provision what they need without waiting on infra.
• Hire, mentor, and develop a team of infrastructure engineers; set clear expectations, provide growth opportunities, and drive high performance.
• Define and execute a technical roadmap that balances short-term execution with long-term platform strategy.
• Partner cross-functionally with product, security, and feature engineering teams to align infrastructure investments with business priorities.
