Role Summary

​

You'll lead the Infrastructure team — a group of 5-8 engineers responsible for the foundation everything else at Renew Home runs on. The team owns cloud accounts, networking, security, CI/CD, deployment tooling, observability, and the developer experience that surrounds all of it. Other engineering teams build on top of what your team provides — your team's leverage shows up in how fast the rest of the company can ship.

​

This is a hands-on engineering manager role. You'll spend most of your time on people, planning, and cross-team alignment, but you should be technical enough to debate architecture, review a tricky design doc, and sense when a project is in trouble before it lands on your desk.

​

What You Will Do

​

• The team. Hiring, growth, performance, and career development for seven engineers across three sub-disciplines. Setting expectations, giving direct feedback, and building a team people want to stay on.
• The roadmap. Translating company priorities into an infra roadmap that balances reliability work, platform investment, security posture, and the steady stream of "unblock the product team" asks.
• Operational health. Participate in on-call rotations, On-call rotation quality, incident response, postmortem culture, and the SLOs to keep the platform healthy.
• Cross-team partnership. You'll be the primary point of contact for product engineering, data, and security leadership. Your team's reputation lives or dies by how well it serves its consumers.
• Security posture. Partnering with security engineering to drive identity, access, audit, and compliance work — making sure security is built into the platform rather than bolted on.
• CI/CD and test automation. The health of the pipelines, runners, and test infrastructure the entire engineering org relies on. Partnering with your automation engineers to drive build times down, flake rates down, and developer confidence up.
• Budget and vendor relationships. Cloud spend, tooling decisions, and the buy-vs-build calls that compound over time.
