Senior Infrastructure Engineering Manager

Who you are

• 10+ years of engineering experience, including 5+ years in engineering management, ideally with experience managing managers or senior ICs across multiple teams
• Direct experience leading infrastructure, platform, or developer-productivity teams supporting a consumer product at scale
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code tooling
• Comfort operating scalable production systems with high availability and performance requirements
• Experience standing up or scaling developer tooling (CI/CD, testing platforms, internal dev environments)
• Exposure to AI-assisted software development. Direct experience rolling out AI coding tools/agents at an organizational level, including adoption metrics and guardrails

What the job involves

• We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the Infrastructure team, which is responsible for Patreon’s Infrastructure. The team’s mission is to keep Patreon's engineering org fast and reliable
• You'll own the roadmap and execution across the platform, balancing "keep the site up" reliability work with "make every engineer faster" investment
• Manage and grow ICs; own hiring, performance, and career development for your org
• Own operational excellence: observability standards, on-call structure, incident response, SLAs/SLOs, and the Production Readiness Reviews (PRR)
• Partner closely with Product Engineering, Security, and Data leaders so infrastructure and tooling decisions don't become a bottleneck for product delivery
