Head of Infrastructure

About the Position

We are looking for a technically strong Head of Infrastructure to lead our infrastructure engineering function, including DevOps, Systems, Network, and related engineering teams.

This is not a pure people-management role. We are looking for an experienced engineering leader who combines strong technical expertise with the ability to lead multiple teams and take ownership of infrastructure as a whole.

You should be able to make sound infrastructure decisions, challenge architectural approaches, identify systemic weaknesses, and understand technical trade-offs - while building an effective engineering organization around you.

Responsibilities

• Lead DevOps and related Infrastructure Engineering teams.
• Build and continuously improve processes across the Infrastructure/Operations function.
• Own the reliability, performance, scalability, and operational quality of production infrastructure.
• Participate in key infrastructure and architecture decisions.
• Define and drive the infrastructure roadmap and technical debt reduction.
• Establish and improve incident management, postmortem, and recurring-problem management processes.
• Develop monitoring, observability, capacity planning, and disaster recovery practices.
• Improve production change management and increase infrastructure automation.
• Partner closely with Backend Engineering, Security, and other technical teams.
• Hire, develop, mentor, and evaluate engineers and technical leads.
• Define technical standards and operational requirements for production systems.
• Ensure infrastructure decisions are aligned with business needs, reliability goals, and long-term scalability.

Requirements

• Strong engineering background and practical understanding of modern production infrastructure.
• Solid knowledge of:
  • Linux and operating system fundamentals.
  • TCP/IP, routing, DNS, load balancing, firewalls, and modern network architectures.
  • Kubernetes and container infrastructure.
  • Virtualization and bare-metal infrastructure.
  • Infrastructure as Code and configuration management.
  • CI/CD and deployment processes.
  • Monitoring, metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting.
  • High-availability and fault-tolerant architectures.
  • Storage, databases, and distributed systems at a level sufficient for infrastructure decision-making.
  • Security practices for production infrastructure.
  • Backups, disaster recovery, and business continuity.
• Experience managing DevOps, SRE, Infrastructure, or similar engineering teams.
• Ability to lead through technical leads and senior engineers rather than becoming a bottleneck for every technical decision.
• Ability to balance reliability, delivery speed, infrastructure costs, and technical debt.
• Ability to turn infrastructure challenges into a clear, prioritized engineering backlog and systematically address them.
• Ability to establish effective processes without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Ability to lead major production incident reviews with a focus on systemic causes and prevention rather than blame.
• Ability to communicate complex technical topics effectively to both engineers and company leadership.
• Ownership of infrastructure as a strategic engineering function.

We Offer

• L&D Center with professional development courses for employees and top managers.
• Rotation Program to explore new areas and expand your expertise.
• Medical insurance.
• Paid annual leave.
• Sick days.
• Self-learning library and access to paid professional courses.
• Stable and timely payments.
• Evoplay Discount Program with special offers and partner discounts.
• Flexible work schedule and remote work opportunities.
• Mental health support - group discussions and individual sessions with a psychologist.
