Summary
What you’ll impact
The Lead Infrastructure Engineering Manager defines and executes the technical vision for the tier-zero order processing and account-management platform. They oversee high-throughput services handling millions of transactions per second, using modern storage and cloud infrastructure to meet sub-second latency and high availability. They lead architectural migrations, remove storage bottlenecks, set reliability SLOs, and drive rapid incident response during peak trading. They manage a team of ten-plus engineers, collaborate with product and infrastructure partners, and promote ownership, rigorous standards, and ongoing mentorship.
Responsibilities
What you'll do
- Define and execute the technical vision and roadmap for the platform, the organization's tier zero order processing and account management system
- Lead and develop a team of 10+ engineers at various levels, coaching and mentoring emerging leaders, setting a high technical bar, and fostering a culture of ownership and accountability
- Drive modernization initiatives including resolving core storage bottlenecks
- Own reliability and uptime KPIs — including SLOs for subsecond order latency, high availability, capacity planning, and rapid incident recovery during high-volume trading events
- Collaborate across infrastructure and product teams to enforce reliability standards and align on technical direction
- Proactively identify scalability and reliability risks, champion preventative solutions, and coordinate fast, effective incident response
- Shape hiring, onboarding, and the engineering culture as the platform continues to scale
Requirements
What you’ll bring
- 10+ years of professional engineering experience, with several years at the staff level and prior Team Lead experience
- Deep expertise with tier zero or mission-critical systems at significant scale — contributed to or maintained systems operating at millions to tens of millions of QPS
- Demonstrated experience managing engineering teams of ~10+ engineers, including senior and staff-level ICs
- Experience leading architectural migrations or modernization efforts (e.g., language rewrites, traffic routing simplification, storage improvements)
- Strong ownership mentality: question scalability assumptions, enforce rigorous engineering processes, and think through edge cases others miss
- Track record of maintaining system correctness and reliability in high-accountability production environments (financial order execution, account management, or similar)
- Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence and align across infrastructure and product organizations
