We are looking for an experienced and driven Team Lead to guide our Infrastructure & Network Engineering team. Our current infrastructure is datacenter-based, and we are planning a transition to a hybrid setup that integrates AWS cloud services. As the team lead, you will oversee a group of skilled system and network engineers, ensure the availability, scalability, and security of our infrastructure, and play a key role in strategic decisions regarding infrastructure automation, observability, and Kubernetes-based platforms.
This is a highly technical leadership role where you will balance hands-on expertise with strategic oversight. You’ll collaborate cross-functionally to support deployment pipelines, networking operations, and our overall DevOps maturity.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, and support a team of system and network engineers.
• Drive the design and implementation of a hybrid infrastructure strategy (datacenter + AWS).
• Oversee networking operations including routing, firewalls, VPNs, and secure remote access.
• Own Kubernetes cluster operations, ensuring high availability, scalability, and automation.
• Implement and enforce infrastructure-as-code practices using tools like Gitlab, Terraform and Ansible.
• Drive observability initiatives using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and New Relic.
• Collaborate with other engineering teams to ensure infrastructure aligns with development and product needs.
• Establish incident response strategies and contribute to on-call procedures.
• Ensure compliance with security, privacy, and operational policies (e.g., GDPR, internal standards).
• Evaluate and manage third-party tools, hardware, and services relevant to infrastructure and networking.
