Director, Cloud Infrastructure

• Lead the platform foundations that Sanity engineers build on every day: cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking, routing, observability, CI/CD, deployment paths, incident response, and production ownership standards. • Work at real infrastructure scale — Content Lake alone handles around 75,000 requests per second, about 4.5 million requests per minute. • Hold a senior seat in R&D, close to Product, Engineering, Security, and customer-facing teams. • Join a company backed by GP Bullhound, ICONIQ Growth, Threshold Ventures, Heavybit, and Shopify, with customers including SKIMS, Figma, Riot Games, Anthropic, and Nordstrom.

• Have led Infrastructure, Platform, SRE, Cloud, or Developer Platform teams in a scaling SaaS, cloud, infrastructure, API, data, or developer-tools company. • Have operated systems with high request volume, multi-region production, strict uptime expectations, large cloud bills, customer-facing incidents, and trust requirements. • Have built or run production platforms with Kubernetes, GCP or AWS, Terraform or similar infrastructure as code, service discovery, networking, API gateways, CDNs, observability, CI/CD, and incident response. • Be technically deep enough to debate architecture with senior infrastructure engineers and practical enough to make the call when the perfect answer is wasting time. • Know how to split central platform ownership from product-team service ownership without creating a ticket queue. • Improve on-call and reliability by building systems, standards, and feedback loops that make production healthier over time. • Be able to turn messy infrastructure work into a strategy people can follow, then keep pushing until the work ships. • Communicate clearly with executives, product leaders, engineers, and customer-facing teams, explaining tradeoffs without sanding off the technical truth. • Have managed managers or senior technical leads, knowing when to coach, when to set the bar, and when to get directly involved.

• Have experience with GCP specifically as Sanity's primary cloud provider. • Have experience with CDN migrations or edge infrastructure such as Fastly or Varnish. • Have experience with SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, HIPAA, or similar compliance frameworks. • Have experience with multi-region architecture, disaster recovery, and data residency requirements. • Have experience with cloud cost optimisation at scale.

• Set the infrastructure strategy for Sanity's next stage of scale, with a clear roadmap across cloud infrastructure, reliability, deployment, observability, security, cost, and developer experience. • Lead the teams responsible for shared foundations: GCP projects and clusters, Kubernetes, networking, service discovery, routing, gateways, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and observability. • Draw a clean line between Platform and SRE — Platform owning shared foundations, SRE helping product teams run services well. • Raise the reliability bar across production systems, including dashboards, alert severity, paging standards, service ownership, on-call readiness, and incident response. • Make deployment boring in the best way: clear golden paths, production readiness checks, safe rollouts, useful automation, and fewer places engineers need to look before they can ship. • Partner with Product, Engineering, Security, Support, Sales, and Customer Success on infrastructure work that matters to customers. • Own cloud cost discipline without slowing the business down. • Shape longer-term architecture for multi-region scale, disaster recovery, data residency, and trust requirements. • Hire, coach, and stretch infrastructure leaders and engineers.

• Receive competitive stock options and location-based salary. • Get comprehensive health plans and perks. • Enjoy a positive, flexible, and trust-based work environment that supports long-term professional and personal growth. • Work with a healthy work-life balance that accommodates individual and family needs. • Join a globally and culturally diverse group of colleagues and customers.
