Head of Infrastructure

📋 Job Overview

Aditude is a leading innovator in the ad tech industry, dedicated to creating cutting-edge solutions that drive the success of our publishers and partners. Our team is composed of passionate professionals who thrive in a collaborative and fast-paced environment. We are currently seeking a Head of Infrastructure to own infrastructure reliability, cost, DevOps, tooling, and network/system security across the entire company — including CPMStar, our SSP — with deep expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, infrastructure-as-code, cloud cost management, security, logging, full-scale resilience, and CI/CD automation.

🏢 About Aditude

We're really, really into ad ops tech (really). At Aditude we want to help our publishers maximize revenue and make their lives easier with smarter, faster, more innovative, more customized technology. In 2023, we raised 15 million in Series A funding led by Volition Capital allowing us to add to our team and further our mission of helping publishers do what they do better. With over 1600 sites and apps using our tech, we currently have over 1 trillion ads served to date, and over 1 billion ad impressions daily. With the recent acquisition of Hashtag Labs, we only expect this number to continue to grow exponentially. We are looking for team members who are obsessed with supporting our publishers, who default to action, and who enjoy solving complex problems. If that sounds like you, we are excited to connect!

🎯 The Role

The Head of Infrastructure owns end-to-end infrastructure across Aditude's full product portfolio (Prebid Server, AWP, Cloud Wrapper, Insights) and CPMStar, our SSP. This spans five core pillars: reliability (uptime, resilience, incident response), cost (infrastructure spend efficiency), DevOps (CI/CD, deployment automation), tooling (internal developer tooling and platform), and security (network and system security, compliance). This is a working leadership role: you'll set infrastructure strategy and coach a growing team, while staying hands-on with architecture, incident response, and critical builds. This role is largely IC-driven with a clear path to growing and managing the function as the team scales.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Own uptime, resilience, and incident response strategy across all Aditude products and CPMStar's SSP infrastructure.
• Lead resolution of critical, high-severity infrastructure issues company-wide.
• Design, deploy, and directly manage scalable, reliable infrastructure across Kubernetes and Docker-based environments.
• Own infrastructure cost management and capacity planning, balancing performance against spend across the company.
• Establish and evolve CI/CD standards and pipelines across the engineering org, including CPMStar.
• Own the internal infrastructure/developer tooling roadmap — observability, logging, and platform tooling used by engineering.
• Own network and system security across company infrastructure, including Zero Trust architecture, access control, and policy enforcement (OPA).
• Coach and develop the Senior Cloud Ops Engineer today, with the mandate to hire, structure, and lead a larger infrastructure team as the company scales.
• Partner closely with engineering leadership (CTO) and product teams to align infrastructure investment with product and business priorities.

📌 Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field; or equivalent work experience.
• 7+ years of experience in infrastructure/cloud ops, with at least 2+ years in a lead or management capacity.
• Deep, hands-on expertise with Kubernetes and Docker.
• Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code, especially Terraform.
• Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or similar).
• Strong scripting and automation skills using Go, Python, or TypeScript.
• Proficiency with monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, or CloudWatch.
• Demonstrated experience owning network and system security — Zero Trust, network segmentation, access control, and compliance frameworks.
• Fluency working alongside AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code) to move fast.
• Experience managing infrastructure cost/capacity at scale.
