We are AI Native

We are building an AI native company where AI is an integral part of how we build and operate. AI tool usage during interviews varies by role. You may be asked to demonstrate proficiency with AI tools, discuss how you leverage AI, or complete interview exercises without AI assistance. Your Recruiter will provide clear guidance as you move through the interview process.

Undisclosed use of AI not previously discussed with or approved by your Recruiter may impact your candidacy.

About The Team

Our Infrastructure Operating Group owns the platforms, systems, and tooling that ’s engineering, product, and design teams build on every day, from build/deploy pipelines and internal tools to the reliability behind an app that tens of millions of families trust with their safety. We treat infrastructure as a competitive advantage, not a cost center: our real product is the velocity at which we can build a great experience for our members, so we obsess over developer experience and the systems that they build on, including the move to AI-native ways of working.

We hold ourselves to a high standard of craft and have direct, honest conversations about quality, scope, and trade-offs because we care about building things that last. is scaling fast, and this team will be at the center of that growth, unlocking what the rest of the company can build, including the next wave of AI-powered features.

About the Job

We’re looking for an experienced VP of Infrastructure Engineering to lead the platform, systems, and infrastructure organization behind ’s products. You’ll shape our technical strategy to scale reliably toward our 2028 goals of 150M monthly active users and $1B+ in revenue, and help the engineering organization adopt AI-native ways of working.

What You'll Do

While this is a leadership role and we expect you to be well-rounded across all areas, the specific areas of emphasis will be on the following pillars:

• Strategic Leadership – Define, communicate, and execute an infrastructure vision in partnership with your functional counterparts that complements 's broader goals. Align infrastructure investment with business objectives in close collaboration with the executive team.
• Developer Productivity & Enablement – Build the build/deploy pipelines, internal tooling, and self-service platforms that let engineering, product, and design teams ship faster — including AI-powered capabilities — without compromising security, privacy, or cost discipline. Bring firsthand experience helping an organization move toward AI-native ways of working, whether you drove that shift or were a meaningful part of it.
• Reliability & Scalability – Keep infrastructure scaling securely and cost-effectively as user growth and workload complexity increase. Uptime, latency, observability, and disaster recovery are non-negotiables for systems serving tens of millions of families.
• Team Leadership & Culture – Recruit, mentor, and grow a world-class infrastructure and platform engineering team. Act as a strong voice for engineering craft and culture, and foster innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Cross-Functional Alignment – Partner closely with Engineering, Data Science/ML, Security, and Product leaders to plan and execute strategic infrastructure initiatives, including the compute and platform needs that support AI-powered features.

What We're Looking For

• A degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• A seasoned infrastructure/platform engineering leader with a track record of building stellar teams.
• Many years of experience leading large-scale infrastructure or platform engineering organizations, including leading through managers or directors.
• Deep technical fluency in distributed systems and cloud architecture.
• A track record of scaling infrastructure for consumer products at massive scale — from iterative reliability improvements to big-bet platform investments.
• Direct experience with, or meaningful involvement in, an organization's shift toward AI-native ways of working. Leading it isn't required, but you've seen it from the inside.
• A bias for speed — constantly pushing to try new things, and learning quickly from what doesn't work to find what does.
• Strong instincts for data — comfortable digging into cost, performance, and reliability metrics to spot what's working and what isn't, and using KPIs on reliability and cost efficiency to guide decisions.
• A background at companies known for engineering excellence and resilient, high-performing platforms.
• Strategic thinking paired with strong storytelling — the ability to motivate and inspire a team around a shared technical vision.
• A genuine conviction that robust, well-designed infrastructure is a competitive differentiator — the invisible foundation that makes great user experiences possible.
• A hands-on approach — comfortable delegating, but ultimately owns everything the team ships.
• A reputation for having tough, direct conversations while staying kind and respectful.
• Comfort with risk-taking and big swings, and making decisions with incomplete information.
• Alignment with our values: Be a Good Person; Be Direct, with Respect; Members Before Metrics; High Intensity, High Impact.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to the infrastructure demands of AI-powered products (for example, supporting inference or ML workloads) and comfort operating in the fast-moving AI landscape.

Our Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans (100% paid for employees)
• Paid parental leave
• 401(k) plan with company matching program
• Mental Wellness Program & Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental well-being
