Job description
Manager of Cloud Platform Engineering
The Role in Context
Fingerprint is scaling rapidly, and our infrastructure is the bedrock of our 25B+ annual request volume. We are looking for a Manager of Cloud Platform Engineering to lead a team of 6 elite engineers.
In this role, you aren't just keeping the lights on—you are the architect of our scalability, the guardian of our hosting efficiency, and the primary bridge between Engineering and Finance. You will have high autonomy to define what "best-in-class" infrastructure looks like for a high-growth SaaS leader.
Your Mission
- Lead & Elevate: Direct a team of 6 Cloud Engineers. You will foster a culture of high ownership, technical excellence, and "Infrastructure as Code" (IaC) first.
- Scale the Platform: Oversee the evolution of our AWS EKS clusters, ensuring they remain resilient, performant, and secure under massive load.
- Strategic FinOps: Partner directly with the Finance team to manage hosting costs. You will be responsible for cost-visibility, and driving a "cost-conscious" engineering culture.
- Establish the Standard: Define and enforce infrastructure best practices (security, CI/CD, observability) across the entire engineering organization.
What You'll Do
- Operational Excellence: Manage and improve our modern DevOps stack, including ArgoCD for GitOps, GitHub Actions for CI/CD, and Cloudflare for edge protection.
- Architecture & Governance: Act as the primary technical advisor for cloud architecture. Ensure that as product teams build new features, the underlying infrastructure is scalable by default.
- Autonomy & Influence: Operate with minimal guidance to identify bottlenecks, propose architectural shifts, and lead their execution.
- Stakeholder Partnership: Be the "visible lead" for infrastructure. Distill complex technical tradeoffs into business-ready decisions for Finance and Product leadership.
Qualifications
Required:
- Leadership Experience: 5+ years managing engineering teams in a cloud-native environment, with a total of 10+ years in technology.
- AWS Mastery: Deep expertise in the AWS ecosystem, specifically EKS (Kubernetes), IAM, VPC, and RDS.
- Modern DevOps Stack: Expert-level knowledge of GitOps workflows (ArgoCD), CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
- FinOps & Cost Management: Proven track record of managing seven-figure cloud budgets and implementing successful cost-reduction strategies.
- Autonomy: Demonstrated ability to lead complex initiatives from conception to completion with minimal oversight.
Preferred:
- Security Mindset: Familiarity with SOC 2 compliance, network security, and zero-trust principles.
- Cloudflare: Experience managing WAF, Workers, or CDN configurations at the edge.
Why This Role?
- High Impact: You own the foundation of a product that prevents fraud for the world's largest brands.
- Modern Tools: No legacy "on-prem" baggage. We are 100% cloud-native and committed to the best modern tooling.
- Leadership Freedom: You will have the budget and the mandate to build the infrastructure team of your dreams.
