The Challenge

As OneTrust scales its platform and expands globally, our infrastructure must keep pace — growing more automated, more resilient, and more self-service for the engineering teams that depend on it. Today, infrastructure, DevOps, and deployment work is distributed across the R&D; organization without a single accountable owner driving strategy, standards, and automation maturity end to end.

We're looking for a Director, Infrastructure Engineering to build and lead the team responsible for the infrastructure our products run on — from cloud architecture and CI/CD pipelines to deployment automation and platform reliability. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll set the technical direction, build a high-performing team of DevOps and infrastructure automation engineers, and give every engineer at OneTrust faster, safer, more reliable ways to ship.

Your Mission In this role, you will:

- Own the strategy, architecture, and roadmap for cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and deployment automation across R&D;, aligning investment with product and platform growth.

- Lead, hire, and develop a team of DevOps engineers, infrastructure automation engineers, and deployment engineers, building a strong bench of technical talent across US and India.

- Drive infrastructure-as-code (IaC) adoption and standards (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation) to make environment provisioning repeatable, auditable, and self-service for product engineering teams.

- Own CI/CD pipeline architecture and tooling, reducing deployment friction and time-to-production while improving release reliability and rollback safety.

- Set the strategy for multi-cloud/hybrid infrastructure management, container orchestration, and platform scalability to support current and future product growth.

- Partner with Security and Compliance to embed security guardrails,



access controls, and regulatory requirements (e.g., SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO) directly into infrastructure and deployment pipelines.

- Own infrastructure reliability and observability — monitoring, alerting, incident response, and on-call practices — in partnership with Engineering and SRE stakeholders.

- Lead cost optimization efforts across cloud spend, right-sizing infrastructure investment against usage and business need.

- Act as the primary point of escalation and decision-maker for infrastructure, DevOps, and deployment-related incidents and cross-team dependencies.

- Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, and Security leadership to represent infrastructure needs in roadmap planning and major technical decisions.

- Evaluate and select tooling and vendor partnerships that support the team's automation-first, self-service infrastructure vision.

You Are

- A builder who thinks in systems — you see infrastructure as a product that serves internal customers, not just a cost center to keep the lights on.

- An automation-first leader who instinctively looks to eliminate manual, repeatable work and replace it with reliable, self-service tooling.

- A calm, decisive operator under pressure — comfortable owning incident response and making fast, well-reasoned calls when systems are down.

- A people leader who invests in growing engineers' technical depth and career paths, not just managing their day-to-day output.





- A pragmatic communicator who can translate deep technical tradeoffs into business terms for non-technical stakeholders and executives.

- Security- and compliance-minded by default, treating guardrails as part of good infrastructure design rather than a separate workstream.

- Comfortable operating in ambiguity, willing to make and revisit decisions as the organization and its infrastructure needs evolve.

Your Experience Includes

- 12 years of progressive experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, site reliability engineering, or cloud operations, including 4 years in a people leadership role.

- Proven experience building and leading DevOps, infrastructure, or platform engineering teams, including hiring, mentoring, and performance management.

- Deep hands-on background with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP) and infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent).

- Strong track record architecting and scaling CI/CD pipelines and release automation for enterprise-grade, high-availability software products.

- Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and contemporary deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, zero-downtime migrations).

- Working knowledge of security, compliance, and regulatory frameworks relevant to SaaS infrastructure (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR).

- Experience managing distributed or globally-located engineering teams (US/India or similar) preferred.

- Demonstrated success partnering with Engineering, Security, and Product leadership to align infrastructure strategy with business priorities.

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
