I would also describe how I maintained stakeholder visibility, protected reliability during transition, and validated success through cost, performance, and operational metrics. How do you maintain healthy incident response and on-call practices for a critical platform team? I set clear severity definitions, incident-command expectations, escalation paths, and follow-up standards. I use post-incident reviews to identify systemic improvements, monitor on-call load and alert quality, and prioritize automation and reliability work so the team can sustainably support production systems. How would you guide technical tradeoffs when senior engineers disagree on an AWS or Kubernetes architecture decision? I would ensure the decision is grounded in agreed constraints such as reliability, security, operability, cost, delivery time, and long-term ownership. After eliciting the relevant evidence and alternatives, I would help the group make and document a timely decision, including the rationale and signals that would trigger reconsideration. What does effective AI-assisted engineering look like for an infrastructure team? It should improve leverage without weakening review, security, or operational accountability. I would establish practical norms for approved tools, validation of generated changes, protection of sensitive data, and use cases such as runbook drafting, toil reduction, troubleshooting support, and documentation improvement. How do you lead an established team through a management transition and organizational change? I start by listening to the team and partner organizations, learning existing strengths, pain points, and commitments before making major changes. I then communicate priorities transparently, create predictable feedback loops, recognize expertise, and connect individual growth plans to an achievable operating roadmap. Opportunity details ## About this role. ### About the Job: We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead LaunchDarkly’s Cloud Engineering team, the team responsible for the foundational infrastructure our products and engineering teams depend on. Cloud Engineering owns LaunchDarkly’s AWS accounts and networking, multi-region Kubernetes infrastructure, Terraform and GitOps workflows, CockroachDB operations, disaster-recovery capabilities, and FedRAMP infrastructure posture. The team is small, senior, and recently rebuilt. This is a frontline leadership role for a manager who treats operational health as a top priority, leads calmly through incidents, and creates leverage through software, automation, and reliable paved paths. In your first year, you’ll lead a marquee infrastructure insourcing program from planning through completion. The program’s cost savings will help fund additional team growth, giving you the opportunity to deliver meaningful business impact while strengthening the infrastructure behind LaunchDarkly’s next stage of scale. This role combines people leadership, operational ownership, and technical judgment. You do not need to be the most senior individual contributor in the room, but you should be comfortable partnering with experienced engineers, guiding tradeoffs, and creating an environment where the team can do its best work. ### Responsibilities: * Lead and develop a senior Cloud Engineering team, providing clear expectations, coaching, feedback, performance management, and career-development support. * Own the operational health of LaunchDarkly’s cloud infrastructure, including incident response, on-call health, service-level objectives, resilience, and disaster recovery. * Launch and deliver a multi-quarter infrastructure insourcing program, including sequencing work, managing dependencies, communicating milestones, and ensuring a successful transition. * Guide technical priorities and tradeoffs across AWS infrastructure, networking, multi-region Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, GitOps, datastore operations, and compliance-related infrastructure. * Build leverage through software, automation, and paved paths that help product engineering teams use infrastructure safely and independently. * Support migrations by providing guidance, patterns, and enablement while maintaining clear ownership boundaries with partner teams. * Establish team norms for effective AI-assisted engineering and identify opportunities to reduce operational toil through AI and automation. * Maintain team health and continuity through change, fostering an inclusive, collaborative, and accountable environment. * Partner with Service Frameworks, Core Platform, Revenue Platform, Data Platform, and product engineering teams on shared infrastructure priorities and cross-team dependencies. * Communicate roadmaps, operational risks, investment needs, and progress clearly to engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders. * Participate in hiring and team planning as the organization grows. ### Qualifications: * 2+ years of experience managing an infrastructure, platform engineering, or site reliability engineering team at a product company, including people management of an on-call team. * Demonstrated ownership of incident response, on-call health, and service-level objective frameworks for critical production systems. * Experience leading at least one multi-quarter infrastructure migration or insourcing program from planning through completion. * Technical fluency with AWS, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code practices, with the judgment to guide discussions and tradeoffs with senior engineers. * Experience taking over an established team and maintaining engagement, performance, and retention through a leadership transition. * A clear point of view on team norms and practices for AI-assisted engineering. * Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical and operational priorities to a range of audiences. * A thoughtful, calm, and accountable leadership approach, particularly during incidents and periods of change. ### Nice to Haves * Experience with vendor negotiations or cloud cost management. * Experience supporting FedRAMP or other compliance-related infrastructure and operations. * Experience operating large-scale datastores or OLAP systems. * Experience growing a team through funded expansion.
