Infrastructure Engineering Manager

As an Infrastructure Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for leading the strategy, design, and operation of Unifonic's non-production environments and CI/CD platform. In this key leadership role, you will drive the evolution of our internal developer experience by building secure, scalable, and efficient systems that empower engineering teams to experiment, deliver, and innovate with speed and confidence.

You will lead cross-functional teams—including cloud platform engineers, DevOps experts, and developer advocates—to architect and operate robust infrastructure that supports continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automated workflows. Your work will enable seamless, frictionless development across our engineering organization.

Acting as a catalyst for platform excellence, you will foster strong relationships with developers and stakeholders, ensuring that our internal tools and environments meet the highest standards of usability, performance, and security. By collaborating closely with application teams, security, and business leaders, you'll ensure our platforms are aligned with organizational needs, enhance productivity, and remove barriers to delivery.

Your leadership will be instrumental in shaping Unifonic's internal developer platform strategy optimizing workflows, promoting automation, and delivering an environment where engineering teams can thrive.
