About Company
The company is a Santa Monica-based AI firm redefining physical infrastructure. Its computer vision and deep learning platform powers checkout-free, recognition-based payments at 4,500+ locations across North America.
It is the largest parking operator on the continent, with operations spanning parking, gas stations, car washes, and retail. Backed by $4.1B in Series D funding, the company runs a team of 20,000 people.
It operates at the intersection of AI, physical infrastructure, and real-time payments — with ambitions well beyond parking.
Position Overview
This role leads the Central Cloud Infrastructure (CCI) team in India — a three-engineer group that governs cloud usage, manages foundational AWS infrastructure, develops shared tooling, and enforces PCI and SOC2 compliance across the organization. The manager bridges tactical execution and long-term cloud strategy, ensuring the platform scales reliably as the company expands into new physical venue categories. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring both architectural depth and cross-functional coordination across a globally distributed engineering organization.
Role & Responsibilities
- Directly manage, mentor, and drive the technical and career growth of three cloud infrastructure engineers based in India
- Own and evolve the CCI team's strategy, roadmap, and scope — including prioritization across workstreams based on technical dependencies and business urgency
- Lead infrastructure modernization efforts, including migration of legacy systems into a unified, cloud-native AWS architecture
- Serve as the cloud stakeholder with a long-term view on performance, cost efficiency, security posture, and platform health
- Maintain PCI and SOC2 compliance across cloud environments; architect and own disaster recovery plans
- Act as the connective layer between CCI and other engineering teams — broadcasting team goals, surfacing dependencies, and enabling shared tooling reuse
- Participate in on-call rotation for high-urgency infrastructure incidents; leverage AI tooling to automate and accelerate engineering workflows
Must Have Criteria
- 10+ years of devops/cloud infra infrastructure engineering experience, with 1–2+ years managing cloud infrastructure, or SRE teams
- Hands-on , able to architect, troubleshoot, and review infrastructure directly
- Production-grade experience with AWS (EC2, EKS, Lambda, S3, VPC), Terraform, and Kubernetes/EKS at scale
- Working knowledge of Helm, containerization, Kafka, SQL databases, cloud networking, and Python scripting
- Demonstrated experience managing PCI DSS and SOC2 compliance requirements in cloud environments
- Track record of leading infrastructure modernization — integrating legacy systems into cloud-native architectures
- BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or a related engineering discipline
Nice to Have
- Experience with Atmos (Terraform component framework) in multi-account AWS environments
- Prior engineering leadership in high-growth, Series B–D startups or scale-ups
- Exposure to real-time data pipelines or event-driven architectures at high throughput
What We Offer
- Leadership role with direct impact on the company's core cloud platform — infrastructure that processes millions of vehicle transactions daily
- Opportunity to build and scale a high-performing India-based infrastructure team within a $4.1B-funded, Series D company
- Visibility into cross-functional engineering strategy with a reporting line to Senior Manager, Central Cloud Infrastructure (US)
- Access to cutting-edge AI and computer vision infrastructure at a company redefining physical-world automation
