This role is offered on an Italian employment contract. Candidates must be based in Italy as we are unable to support remote working from outside the country due to local employment and tax legislation.

Position

Platform Infrastructure and SRE owns the reliability, scalability, and operability of Deltatre's infrastructure and internal platform tooling - the team other engineering teams depend on to ship and run their services safely. The stack spans AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform for infrastructure as code, a full observability stack (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana), and Deltatre's CI/CD platforms.
As Team Lead, you will both write code and lead people. This is a hybrid role: roughly half hands-on engineering work (design, code, review, and on-call participation as appropriate) and half people leadership (coaching, career growth, hiring, and connecting team output to broader engineering priorities). You will own the technical direction of a 5 to 8 person team while staying close enough to the work to make good calls under pressure.
