Your Role & Mission

As an Engineering Manager for the Infrastructure team, you'll lead the engineers responsible for keeping Apollo's systems fast, reliable, and scalable as we serve millions of daily users and process billions of data points. You'll work at the intersection of platform engineering, SRE, observability, and developer productivity, ensuring that our foundation can support Apollo's AI-native evolution and rapid growth.

You will:

• Build and lead a world-class infrastructure team focused on reliability, scalability, and performance.
  
  
• Report directly to the CTO, and partner closely with Product, Data, and AI Platform leaders to ensure the underlying systems enable fast, safe, and confident iteration.
  
  
• Drive best-in-class engineering practices for production uptime, performance, CI/CD, observability, incident management, and cost optimization.
  
  
• Foster a culture of excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement — where engineers are empowered to innovate and ship fearlessly.
  
  
• Help define Apollo's next-generation infrastructure strategy — from cloud architecture to developer experience and AI-driven automation.
  
  

Daily Adventures and Responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and grow a distributed team of high-impact Infrastructure Engineers. You are expected to spend roughly 30% of the time as an IC.
  
  
• Partner with senior engineering leadership on strategic initiatives such as cloud migration, infrastructure scaling, platform reliability, and cost efficiency.
  
  
• Define and implement modern operational excellence practices, including SLOs, error budgets, incident reviews, and performance monitoring.
  
  
• Guide technical decision-making across key areas like Kubernetes, GCP, observability, networking, CI/CD, and IaC (Terraform, Ansible).
  
  
• Collaborate with AI, Data, and Product Engineering teams to ensure infrastructure scalability for ML and AI-native workloads.
  
  
• Run effective 1:1s, career development conversations, and quarterly performance reviews.
  
  
• Support recruiting efforts to attract top engineering talent across time zones.
  
  

Competencies

• You think in systems and love scaling reliability through automation, not headcount.
  
  
• You're equally comfortable talking about incident response policies as you are Terraform modules or service mesh architecture.
  
  
• You build psychological safety within teams and help engineers grow through mentorship and clear accountability.
  
  
• You communicate crisply, document thoughtfully, and drive alignment across distributed, cross-functional teams.
  
  
• You embody Apollo's values of Ownership, Integrity, Curiosity, Excellence, Teamwork, and Fun.
  
  

Skills & Relevant Experience

• 5+ years of hands-on software or infrastructure engineering experience.
  
  
• 2+ years of experience leading teams of senior and staff-level engineers in platform, SRE, or infrastructure domains.
  
  
• Proven ability to design and operate large-scale distributed systems in cloud environments (preferably GCP or AWS).
  
  
• Expertise with Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ubuntu, and CI/CD pipelines.
  
  
• Familiarity with observability tools (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, Datadog, NewRelic) and performance tuning.
  
  
• Strong grounding in networking, security, and reliability principles.
  
  
• Experience managing infrastructure costs, availability SLAs, and high-throughput systems at scale.
  
  
• Bonus: Experience with AI/ML infrastructure, data pipelines, MongoDB, Ruby on Rails, Ansible, or ElasticSearch
