[Hiring] Head of Infrastructure @Function Health

Role Description

We are hiring a Head of Infrastructure in Engineering, Product & Data (EPD), reporting to our Sr. Director of Engineering. This leader will own the foundation every Function product runs on: Site Reliability Engineering and the infrastructure platform, including databases, compute, containers, networking, and cross-service and VPC communication, across Function Health, Ezra, Suppco, and Getlabs.

Function is moving from a single-market product into its next stage of growth, including international expansion. This role will design the long-term infrastructure architecture to support that:

• Multi-region deployment
• Data residency
• Latency
• Compliance boundaries

You will also set the reliability and cost standards (SLOs, on-call, incident response) that let us scale confidently as the member base and the number of businesses on the platform grow.

This is a hands-on leadership role, not a pure people-management seat. You will lead the Infrastructure team while staying close enough to the technology to evaluate tradeoffs across infrastructure and deployment yourself.

What makes this compelling: You will have end-to-end ownership of the platform at a company with real scale, a fresh Series B, and a mission that matters. You will shape architecture decisions that will last for years, unify infrastructure across a growing family of acquired companies, and build the foundation for global expansion in a regulated, high-trust domain.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the infrastructure platform end to end.
• Architect for global scale.
• Set and enforce reliability standards.
• Drive cost efficiency at scale.
• Unify infrastructure across the Function family.
• Lead and grow the Infrastructure team.
• Partner across EPD, Security, and Clinical/Compliance.

Qualifications

• [10+] years in infrastructure, SRE, or platform engineering, including [3+] years leading teams.
• Has previously scaled a platform through a major growth stage.
• Deep expertise in cloud infrastructure [GCP/AWS: confirm], containers and orchestration, networking, and production database operations.
• Experience designing for multi-region, data residency, or other compliance-driven architecture.
• Has defined and operated reliability programs: SLOs, on-call rotations, incident command, and blameless postmortems.
• Comfortable making and explaining trade-offs among reliability, speed, cost, and security.
• Hands-on technical credibility.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in healthcare, health tech, or other regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2, international privacy regimes).
• Experience integrating infrastructure across acquired companies or multiple business units.
• Familiarity with FinOps practices and tooling.
• Interest in leading AI and developer productivity.

Core Values

• Ruthless Prioritization: We don’t let perfect get in the way of progress.
• Member-First, Always: We design and deliver like we’re caring for someone we love.
• One Team, Moving Fast: We are aligned in purpose, prioritization, and speed.
• Radical Ownership, Relentless Execution: We don’t just ship; we own outcomes and drive results.
• Mission Over Ego: We are ruthlessly aligned to our mission and leave ego at the door.
• Sustained Integrity in Every Detail: We earn trust by obsessing over accuracy, quality, and clarity in everything we do.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Flexible working hours.
• Dynamic work environment where creativity and innovation are encouraged.
