Job description

Infrastructure Engineering Manager

We're seeking an experienced Infrastructure Engineering Manager to lead our Online Storage team. The Online Storage team is a foundational infrastructure team within Zip's Engineering organization. We own and operate the core storage, search, and permissions infrastructure that powers everything Zip's product teams build spanning relational databases (Aurora RDS), caching layers (Elasticache, MemoryDB), DynamoDB, S3, OpenSearch, and the permissions framework that ensures every user sees exactly the data they're authorized to see.

You will:

  • Lead and grow the Online Storage team (doubling in 6 months): coaching, performance, hiring.
  • Drive the multi-cell scalability program (data isolation, regional redistribution, cell provisioning) partnering closely with Core Infra.
  • Own reliability and disaster recovery for all core storage systems (Aurora, Elasticache/MemoryDB, DynamoDB, S3, OpenSearch) to defined RPO/RTO targets.
  • Set technical direction for the unified search platform and the permissions-system consolidation.
  • Operate as an internal platform partner: triage product-team needs, set guardrails, balance their velocity against platform stability.
  • Own operational excellence: on-call health, incident response, observability for the data layer.

Qualifications:

  • 6+ years of software engineering experience.
  • 2+ years of experience managing teams of 6 or more engineers.
  • Hands-on experience building or operating production data infrastructure at scale: relational databases, caching, distributed storage, or search.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or related technical field.

Nice to have:

  • Experience in SaaS or FinTech industry.
  • Experience bootstrapping and landing large scale 0->1 projects.
  • Experience working at a small company with diverse responsibilities.
  • Track record of scaling a team through hiring.

The salary range for this role is $250,000 - $300,000. The salary for this position is determined based on a variety of job-related factors that may include location, relevant experience, education, or particular skills and expertise.

Perks & Benefits:

  • Start-up equity
  • 100% health, vision & dental coverage options
  • Catered breakfast, lunch, & dinner
  • Flexible PTO
  • ClassPass membership
  • Monthly commuter benefit
  • Team building events & happy hours
  • Home office stipend
  • Phone/internet reimbursement
  • Hybrid model + 5 flexible remote days per quarter
  • Paid parental leave
  • Fertility benefits
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Unlimited AI token usage

We're looking to hire Zipsters and that means hiring people who take ownership, communicate openly, have an underdog mindset, and are excited to increase the pace of innovation for every business in the world. We encourage all candidates to apply even if your experience doesn't exactly match up to our job description. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workspace where everyone (regardless of age, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and more) feels like they belong. We look forward to hearing from you!
