This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for an Infrastructure Tech Lead — Infra Core in Ireland.
In this role, you will operate as a senior technical leader at the heart of a high‑impact infrastructure team, shaping the systems that power a globally distributed platform. You will combine deep hands‑on engineering with strategic direction, influencing how services are built, deployed, and scaled across hundreds of applications. Working in a fast‑moving, high‑growth environment, you’ll tackle complex challenges in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and developer experience. This is a role for builders who thrive on ownership, autonomy, and solving large‑scale technical problems. You’ll collaborate across teams while setting architectural standards that impact engineering at scale. The position offers a unique opportunity to drive innovation and create infrastructure that directly enables global operations.

Define and drive the technical vision and roadmap for core infrastructure systems, focusing on scalability, reliability, and developer experience
Design and implement infrastructure patterns and tools that support large‑scale distributed systems and microservices architectures
Lead the development of platform primitives, control planes, and automation frameworks used across engineering teams
Act as the primary escalation point for complex production incidents, driving root cause analysis and long‑term solutions
Build and optimize service provisioning processes, enabling rapid and secure deployment across environments
Architect and improve traffic routing, API gateways, and edge infrastructure to support high‑volume systems
Enhance infrastructure security practices, including secrets management and secure configuration standards
Drive observability improvements, including logging, monitoring, and tracing systems at scale
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (DevOps, security, database, and engineering) to align on architecture and priorities
Mentor engineers and elevate technical standards while remaining deeply involved in hands‑on development
Requirements
10+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 5 years focused on infrastructure and cloud environments
Strong expertise with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), Kubernetes, and modern infrastructure tooling (Helm, GitOps, CNCF ecosystem)
Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Go, Python, or JavaScript/TypeScript, with experience building production‑grade systems
Proven experience designing and operating distributed systems and event‑driven architectures
Deep knowledge of Kubernetes, including extending and customizing cluster capabilities (operators, controllers, APIs)
Experience working with message brokers (e.g., Kafka, NATS) and scalable data systems
Solid understanding of relational databases and their role in modern infrastructure
Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical projects from concept to delivery
Strong communication skills with the ability to explain architectural decisions clearly to diverse stakeholders
Self‑driven mindset with a bias for action, ownership, and problem‑solving in ambiguous environments
Benefits
Competitive compensation package, including equity or stock grant opportunities (depending on location and status)
Fully remote work setup with flexible scheduling and optional co‑working access
Comprehensive and adaptable benefits package tailored to your region
Opportunities to work on high‑impact, large‑scale technical challenges
