Director, Infrastructure Engineering

Strength in Trust
OneTrust’s mission is to enable innovation through the responsible use of data and AI. We believe that ensuring data is trusted shouldn’t slow teams down—it should accelerate what’s possible. This led us to develop the first technology platform for responsible data use in 2016. Today, with AI representing the latest and most impactful expansion of data yet, OneTrust is once again redefining what responsible innovation looks like. OneTrust, the AI‑Ready Governance Platform™, unifies regulatory intelligence, automation, and connected governance workflows so businesses can continue to move at the speed of AI while ensuring good governance to prevent data misuse at scale. Trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide, OneTrust is shaping the future where trusted data becomes a transformative force for business and society.
The Challenge
As OneTrust scales its platform and expands globally, our infrastructure must keep pace — growing more automated, more resilient, and more self-service for the engineering teams that depend on it. Today, infrastructure, DevOps, and deployment work is distributed across the R&D organization without a single accountable owner driving strategy, standards, and automation maturity end to end.
We're looking for a Director, Infrastructure Engineering to build and lead the team responsible for the infrastructure our products run on — from cloud architecture and CI/CD pipelines to deployment automation and platform reliability. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll set the technical direction, build a high-performing team of DevOps and infrastructure automation engineers, and give every engineer at OneTrust faster, safer, more reliable ways to ship.
Your Mission
In this role, you will:
Own the strategy, architecture, and roadmap for cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and deployment automation across R&D, aligning investment with product and platform growth.
Lead, hire, and develop a team of DevOps engineers, infrastructure automation engineers, and deployment engineers, building a strong bench of technical talent across US and India.
Drive infrastructure-as-code (IaC) adoption and standards (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation) to make environment provisioning repeatable, auditable, and self-service for product engineering teams.
Own CI/CD pipeline architecture and tooling, reducing deployment friction and time-to-production while improving release reliability and rollback safety.
Set the strategy for multi-cloud/hybrid infrastructure management, container orchestration, and platform scalability to support current and future product growth.
Partner with Security and Compliance to embed security guardrails, access controls, and regulatory requirements (e.g., SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO) directly into infrastructure and deployment pipelines.
Own infrastructure reliability and observability — monitoring, alerting, incident response, and on-call practices — in partnership with Engineering and SRE stakeholders.
Lead cost optimization efforts across cloud spend, right-sizing infrastructure investment against usage and business need.
Act as the primary point of escalation and decision-maker for infrastructure, DevOps, and deployment-related incidents and cross-team dependencies.
Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, and Security leadership to represent infrastructure needs in roadmap planning and major technical decisions.
Evaluate and select tooling and vendor partnerships that support the team's automation-first, self-service infrastructure vision.
You Are
A builder who thinks in systems — you see infrastructure as a product that serves internal customers, not just a cost center to keep the lights on.
An automation-first leader who instinctively looks to eliminate manual, repeatable work and replace it with reliable, self-service tooling.
A calm, decisive operator under pressure — comfortable owning incident response and making fast, well-reasoned calls when systems are down.
A people leader who invests in growing engineers' technical depth and career paths, not just managing their day-to-day output.
A pragmatic communicator who can translate deep technical tradeoffs into business terms for non-technical stakeholders and executives.
Security- and compliance-minded by default, treating guardrails as part of good infrastructure design rather than a separate workstream.
Comfortable operating in ambiguity, willing to make and revisit decisions as the organization and its infrastructure needs evolve.
Your Experience Includes
12+ years of progressive experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, site reliability engineering, or cloud operations, including 4+ years in a people leadership role.
Proven experience building and leading DevOps, infrastructure, or platform engineering teams, including hiring, mentoring, and performance management.
Deep hands-on background with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP) and infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent).
Strong track record architecting and scaling CI/CD pipelines and release automation for enterprise-grade, high-availability software products.
Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and modern deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, zero-downtime migrations).
Working knowledge of security, compliance, and regulatory frameworks relevant to SaaS infrastructure (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR).
Experience managing distributed or globally-located engineering teams (US/India or similar) preferred.
Demonstrated success partnering with Engineering, Security, and Product leadership to align infrastructure strategy with business priorities.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
