Job Description :

We're looking for a SRE and Platform Engineering Lead to run that function. You'll lead a team of ~11 engineers spanning SRE, DevOps, SecOps, Data, and Release, and you'll own the platform's reliability, cost efficiency, and delivery velocity end-to-end.

You'll report directly to the CTO and sit at the intersection of infrastructure strategy, security posture (including our active SOC 2 push), and the day-to-day engineering culture that determines whether Mediamint Client's 37 day sprint cadence is sustainable or just aspirational.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll set technical direction, unblock your team, and represent platform engineering in company-wide roadmap conversations.

What You'll Own :

Team Leadership & Culture :

- Lead and grow a ~11-person team across DevOps, SRE, SecOps, Data, and Release functions.

- Set clear goals, career paths, and performance expectations for engineers across disciplines.

- Build a healthy, sustainable on-call culture with clear escalation paths and blameless postmortems.

- Mentor senior ICs and develop the next layer of technical leads within the team.

Platform Reliability & Infrastructure Roadmap :

- Own uptime, performance, and scalability of the infrastructure underpinning Mediamint Client's 35+ (scaling to 150+) live AI agents.

- Define and drive the multi-quarter infrastructure roadmap in partnership with the CTO.

- Establish SLOs/SLAs and the monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices to meet them.

- Ensure the platform's modular "Lego" architecture scales cleanly as agent volume grows.

AWS Cost Optimization & Cloud Strategy :

- Own AWS cost optimization as an active, ongoing initiative, not a one-time cleanup.

- Drive rightsizing, reserved capacity planning, and architecture decisions that balance performance with spend.

- Partner with finance and leadership on infrastructure budgeting and forecasting.

CI/CD & Release Engineering :

- Own the CI/CD pipelines that let engineering ship new Mediamint Client modules in 37 day sprints.

- Continuously improve deployment safety, speed, and rollback capability across environments.

- Drive release engineering practices that support rapid, frequent, low-risk shipping at scale.

Security & Compliance Enablement :

- Partner closely with SecOps and Security/Compliance functions to support MediaMint's SOC 2 compliance program.

- Ensure infrastructure and access controls align with WorkOS SSO rollout and broader identity governance goals.

- Champion security-by-default practices across the platform engineering org.

Data Platform & Analytics Enablement :

- Guide the Data function within your team to support agentic analytics initiatives across Mediamint Client.

- Ensure data infrastructure is reliable, well-governed, and ready to power increasingly sophisticated agent behaviors.

Required Qualifications :

- 8+ years of engineering experience, including meaningful time leading platform, infrastructure, SRE, or DevOps teams.

- Direct people management experience, ideally leading teams of 8+ across multiple technical disciplines.

- Deep AWS expertise, including cost optimization at scale across a multi-service, multi-account environment.

- Proven ownership of CI/CD and release engineering in a fast-shipping, high-velocity engineering environment.

- Experience building or maturing on-call and incident response practices.

- Track record of partnering with security/compliance teams, ideally including SOC 2 or similar frameworks.

- Strong executive communication skills, comfortable reporting to and influencing a CTO on roadmap and tradeoffs.

Preferred Experience :

- Experience scaling platform infrastructure for an AI or automation-heavy product.

- Familiarity with SSO/identity platforms such as WorkOS or Okta.

- Background supporting data platforms or analytics infrastructure.

- Experience in a services-to-product transformation or high-growth SaaS environment.
