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 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: Must-Have Experience

- 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 quick-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
