About the role

Lead the Infrastructure & Developer Productivity teams responsible for Patreon’s core infrastructure, developer productivity, and AI enablement. Balance reliability with speed to ship, and drive AI-enabled development initiatives.

Responsibilities

  • 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 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
  • Drive the org's AI-enablement strategy — deciding where to standardize tooling/workflows and where to let teams choose their own path

Qualifications

  • 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
  • Strong cross-functional partnership skills; you'll work daily with Product Engineering, Security, and Data leads
