Infrastructure Team Lead

Location: Herzliya, Israel

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of backend and infrastructure engineers, including 1:1s, goal setting, performance reviews, and career development
• Own the architecture of our AWS environment and the microservices platform running on it, from design through rollout
• Break down large initiatives into workstreams, delegate ownership, and hold the team to delivery commitments without micromanaging
• Run agile ceremonies (sprint planning, retros, backlog grooming) and work with product and other engineering leads on roadmap and prioritization
• Set and enforce engineering standards: code review culture, testing, observability, incident response, on-call rotation
• Drive cost, performance, and reliability improvements across the platform
• Participate in hiring: interviewing, calibration, onboarding

• 8+ years of industry experience
• 5+ years in a people-management or team-lead role, with a track record of leading engineering teams through full delivery cycles.
• 3+ years of production backend development in TypeScript / Node.js. Server-side work: APIs, services, background processing, data flows. Frontend or full-stack-leaning-frontend experience does not substitute for this.
• Proven experience designing and leading AWS solutions at scale, specifically for distributed microservices architectures. You should be able to walk us through a system you architected end to end and defend the trade-offs.
• Deep hands-on knowledge of core AWS services: [ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, SQS/SNS/EventBridge, API Gateway, VPC networking, IAM]
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes or ECS)
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation) and CI/CD pipeline ownership
• Strong grounding in agile methodologies and the judgment to know when to bend them
• Experience owning production systems: monitoring, alerting, on-call, post-incident reviews
• Excellent written and spoken English

• Experience with Kafka / event-driven architecture at scale
• Multi-region or multi-account AWS setups
• Database performance tuning at scale (Postgres, DynamoDB)
• Security and compliance exposure (SOC 2, ISO 27001)
