[Hiring] Manager, Infrastructure & Networking @RZR Global Inc.

Role Description

As Manager, Infrastructure, you will own day-to-day and quarter-to-quarter operation of RZR's entire footprint, including:

• The team
• Hardware lifecycle
• Capacity planning
• Incident response
• Vendor relationships

This is a hands-on manager role, requiring a combination of deep bare-metal operational instincts and leadership presence to run a distributed, experienced global team from day one.

Key Responsibilities

• Team Leadership & Operations
  • Manage and develop the InfraOps team across US and APAC time zones, including regional DC owners (SV/VA and NL/HK) and network engineering
  • Own the weekly DevOps check-in cadence, alert reviews, and 24/7 on-call coverage model
  • Drive P1/P2 incident response end to end — accountability for MTTR reduction, runbook coverage, and alert hygiene
• Capacity Planning & Hardware Lifecycle
  • Own capacity planning and hardware lifecycle across all four data centers: Dell and Supermicro procurement through VARs, GPU expansion for on-prem ML training and inference, colo power and space management, and remote-hands logistics with Equinix and Digital Realty
  • Run the annual cloud-vs-colo evaluation alongside leadership, with full ownership of the recommendation
• Technical Platform Oversight
  • Oversee the core infrastructure stack: Ubuntu/systemd fleet, FreeIPA, Ansible/Salt configuration management, MAAS provisioning, and Zabbix monitoring
  • Manage the spine-leaf Mellanox/NVIDIA network via Netris, including 100G Google peering and transit blend (Lumen/Cogent/Zayo)
  • Support the stateful data tier — Aerospike, Kafka, ClickHouse, Hadoop/HDFS — across capacity limits, evictions, migrations, and low-latency tuning
• Vendor & Budget Management
  • Own colo and vendor relationships and budgets: Equinix and Digital Realty invoices, transit contracts, VAR procurement, and Netris licensing
  • Partner with the security/compliance function on SOC 2 Type 2 evidence, infrastructure hardening, and access reviews
  • Operate comfortably within a multi-entity environment (RZR/Skillz/Firy/Beamable shared IT) with comfort in M&A-flavored ambiguity

Qualifications

• Must-Have
  • 6–8 years in infrastructure or data center operations with 2+ years managing engineers
  • Bare-metal and colo depth: capacity planning, hardware procurement (Dell/Supermicro), IBX/remote-hands workflows
  • Network fundamentals at scale: spine-leaf architecture, BGP/peering (100G-class), transit blends, and low-latency tuning
  • Deep Linux operations: systemd, netplan, FreeIPA/Chrony, Ansible and/or Salt, Zabbix
  • Experience operating large stateful distributed systems — Aerospike, Cassandra, Scylla, Kafka, or ClickHouse
  • Demonstrated P1/P2 incident ownership: on-call program management, postmortems, and alert hygiene discipline
• Nice-to-Have
  • Hybrid cloud experience alongside owned metal: AWS (IAM, Route 53, GuardDuty, S3); Kubernetes exposure a plus
  • SOC 2 or compliance evidence experience; Okta and Vanta familiarity
  • Experience in adtech, RTB, or other high-QPS, latency-sensitive environments
  • Netris or other SDN controller experience; MAAS provisioning familiarity

Work Setup

This is a remote role open to candidates based in the United States. The role requires periodic travel to our data center sites (Santa Clara, CA; Ashburn, VA; Amsterdam; Hong Kong) and SF HQ for operational reviews, team time, and site work.
