[Hiring] Head of Platform @Mimica

Role Description

Mimica is growing fast, and so is the demand on our Platform Team. As Head of Platform, you will lead a lean but highly capable team that is the backbone of every engineering squad in the company, and you will own the infrastructure strategy, including all AI infrastructure, as we scale.

• The Platform team services the entire engineering organisation: keeping environments healthy, unblocking teams, building the infrastructure that lets everyone else move faster, and working with teams regarding SRE topics and developer experience too.
• This role has real scope: expanding to multi-region and physically separated database environments, supporting Mimica’s first installable infrastructure component for enterprise, and owning FinOps.
• You will define the standard menu of deployment options for enterprise customers, participate in security reviews, and make architecture decisions on AI infrastructure.
• We are looking for leaders with either an application development or a systems/infrastructure background.
• Hands-on credibility with Kubernetes, IaC, and cloud platforms is essential, along with the ability to lead engineers and collaborate closely with various teams.

Qualifications

• Proven experience leading engineers, ideally including managing a team lead or other managers, and growing a team through hiring and sub-team design.
• Solid hands-on experience with Kubernetes, whether on GKE (preferred), EKS, OnPrem, or another managed Kubernetes service, across multiple regions.
• Proven experience with infrastructure-as-code as a core part of your platform, such as Terraform, and with ArgoCD or a comparable GitOps tool.
• A track record in owning reliability: setting SLOs and SLAs, running on-call, leading incident response and postmortems, and testing disaster recovery.
• Observability experience with at least one major platform: Honeycomb, Datadog, Grafana, or New Relic.
• Comfortable with code, and able to review architecture and prototypes hands-on.
• Experience owning an infrastructure budget, including cloud cost attribution, forecasting and cloud-provider relationships.
• Experience designing deployment models for enterprise customers (single tenant, regional, data residency) and supporting security reviews and contracted SLAs.
• Background in startups or scale-ups: you are used to ambiguity, moving fast, and wearing multiple hats.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills: you can translate infrastructure complexity into clear language for engineers, executives and clients, and you know when to say no to bespoke requests.

Requirements

• Familiarity with Crossplane, or a similar product like Config Connector.
• Experience with Temporal for workflow orchestration.
• Security and compliance experience, particularly supporting SOC 2.
• Experience supporting a funding round, including technical due diligence.

Benefits

• Generous compensation + stock options - aligned with our internal framework, market data, and individual skills.
• Distributed work: Work from anywhere - fully remote, in our hubs, or a mix.
• Company-issued laptop, remote setup stipend, and co-working budget.
• Flexible schedules and location.
• Ample paid time off, in addition to local public holidays.
• Enhanced parental leave.
• Health & retirement benefits.
• Annual learning & development budget.
• Annual workaways and regular virtual & in-person socials.
• Opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking projects that shape the future of work.
