About the Role

You will be a SME and technical leader in engineering Infrastructure, productivity and enterprise tooling, partnering with globally distributed Engineering, Product and Security teams and systems.

What You’ll Be Doing

Roku is seeking a world class engineer to be a true force multiplier by owning the strategy, architecture, and long-term execution of engineering infrastructure, enterprise tooling, and AI-assisted workflow automation. This architect/strategist role drives org-wide improvements in engineering productivity, delivery throughput, quality, security posture, and cost efficiency by building platforms, working practices and automation (including AI/LLM-enabled capabilities) that scale across geographies and time zones.

Key Responsibilities

AI-First Automation & Intelligent Tooling

• Define and lead an AI-first automation roadmap for Engineering Infrastructure and Enterprise Tooling (e.g., reducing waste, accelerating reviews, improving incident response, increasing release confidence).
• Architect and ship AI/LLM-enabled workflow automation across the SDLC (e.g. risk assessment, automated build, test and deployment, intelligent test selection, change-impact analysis, auto-triage of build/test failures).
• Establish policies and guardrails for AI usage in internal tools: data handling, prompt/response logging, model/provider selection, evaluation, fallback behaviors, and abuse prevention.

Dev Productivity & Enterprise Tooling (Global Scale)

• Set technical direction and standards for the globally used developer tools, including build systems. Source code management, branching/release strategy, and self-service support tools.
• Architect and evolve, CI/CD and build/test pipelines using Jenkins, Docker, and build systems (Bazel /BitBake/Yocto  preferred) to support multi-site engineering environments.
• Own and scale test and quality workflows leveraging test management systems (e.g., TestRail or equivalent), enabling consistent traceability, reporting, and release sign-off across distributed teams.
• Drive Jira workflow design and automation (templates, guardrails, integrations) to provide consistent cross-org visibility and execution.

Workflow Automation (Cross-Functional, Cross-Geo)

• Design and implement automation spanning Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Partners (e.g., launch readiness, certification/release checklists, partner onboarding, incident/change workflows).
• Replace manual coordination with durable automation and integrations that work reliably across regions/time zones.

Security, Cost, Performance, and Reliability (Distributed Systems)

• Embed secure-by-default controls into pipelines and tooling (access control, secrets handling, audit trails, policy enforcement), including for AI-enabled systems.
• Improve build/test performance and reliability (build times, test duration, flake reduction, pipeline stability) using measurable KPIs and operational rigor.
• Drive cost efficiencies across tooling/infrastructure (compute utilization, caching strategies, license rationalization including AI/runtime costs and ROI tracking.
• This is a highly visible role and you will report directly to a Vice President of Engineering. This requires a very strong technical leader with experience in the development of consumer electronics devices. The right person for this role will have ability to collaborate well with engineering and partner teams.
• Own cross-team architectures and standards; drive adoption through influence, clear technical judgment, and sustained multi-quarter execution.
• Lead design reviews, mentor senior engineers, and unblock the hardest technical problems across distributed teams and systems.
• Provide long-term stewardship via roadmaps, operational maturity (runbooks/SLOs), and incident/postmortem practices suitable for 24/7 global operations.
• Establish yourself as the person others bring their hardest problems to

We’re Excited If You Have

• Bachelor’s in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
• Prior experience at Staff, Principal, or Architect level

• Test management systems (e.g., TestRail or equivalent)
• Demonstrated experience delivering automation at scale, including building platforms/components used by multiple teams.
• Strong systems thinking across security, reliability, performance, and cost tradeoffs.
• Excellent written communication (architecture docs, decision records, operating procedures).
• Experience building AI-assisted developer tooling (e.g., CI insights, test intelligence, code review automation, release risk scoring, incident copilots).
• Experience implementing evaluation/monitoring for AI systems (quality metrics, drift, offline test sets, human feedback loops).
• Extensive experience with software development on embedded Linux,  multi-process architectures and IPC mechanisms
• Experience working in large cross functional teams and ability to influence teams that don't report to you
• Ability to see the big picture while focused on short-term objectives and deliverables
• Ability to multi-task and drive parallel projects and distributed teams with tight deadlines

HSPG: A social impact real estate company

Our mission is simple: Building partnerships, creating homes, developing communities.

There is a critical lack of affordable housing across the UK, affecting the most vulnerable people in our community.

We build long-term partnerships with Local Authorities to acquire and manage demand-driven social and affordable housing across various tenures, as per the image below.

Across HSPG’s Living Sector platforms, we are actively acquiring 2,500 high-quality homes from national housebuilders and developers by the end of 2025. These properties are managed by our experienced team, grouped into portfolios, and funded by our institutional investment partners.

HSPG aims to positively impacts our residents’ lives, while providing long-term, sustainable returns for our investment partners. 

Core Behaviours:

Core mission: 

Your core mission is to build and protect the reputation, credibility and narrative of HSPG across the housing sector.​

You will own how the business presents itself externally, ensuring our mission, expertise and partnerships are communicated clearly and consistently.​

You position HSPG as a credible, thoughtful and trusted voice in affordable housing and social impact real estate, contributing thoughtfully to industry conversations around delivery, partnerships and impact.​

You translate complex activity across the Group, acquisitions, partnerships, housing delivery and investment, into clear communications that strengthen relationships with investors, developers, Local Authorities and sector stakeholders.​

You operate as a strategic communications partner to the SLT (Senior Leadership Team) while remaining hands-on in execution.​

Your focus is positioning, credibility and engagement across the wider sector on behalf of the group.​

This role is focused on reputation, narrative and sector credibility, rather than consumer marketing or digital acquisition campaigns.

Accountability​

You are accountable for:​

• Group marketing and communications strategy.​
• External messaging and narrative.​
• PR and media relationships.​
• Thought leadership and sector positioning.​
• Marketing materials across the Group.​
• Marketing budget and allocation.​
• Consumer marketing campaigns or digital lead gen strategies.​

You are not accountable for:​

• Shared ownership sales channels.​
• Property listing portals or lead generation platforms.​
• Sales conversion or transactional marketing.

Obsess: These points get you out of bed in the morning and keep you up at night! If you’re not obsessed with these, the role isn’t for you. 

• Narrative clarity: ensuring HSPG’s mission and impact (why), strategy (what), and behaviours (how) are communicated simply and consistently.​
• Sector credibility: ensuring HSPG is known and respected by developers, Local Authorities, institutional investors and housing partners.​
• Meaningful engagement: connecting with stakeholders in the right forums, to get (and measure) the right results.​
• Quality over distractions: focusing on communication that genuinely strengthens the platform’s reputation and commercial performance.​

If you measure success purely in clicks or impressions, this role is not for you.

Excel: You are excellent at these areas: an expert. 

• Strategic communications: translating complex housing and investment activity into simple, entertaining narratives.​
• Content creation and ownership: producing high-quality written and visual materials across multiple channels.​
• PR and media: securing and managing press opportunities that enhance credibility (working with our external agency, Faust).​
• Hands-on execution: delivering work yourself rather than relying immediately on agencies or large teams (you are the first marketing hire – no team, no agency).

Specific experience: 

• 10+ years’ experience in marketing, communications or public affairs.​
• Evidenced track record of building a marketing or communications function.​
• Excellent writing and communication capability, and strong ability to use AI for efficiencies.​
• Experience operating within regulated or policy-influenced sectors such as housing, real estate, infrastructure or the public sector.

90-day wins​

Early traction and strategic control.​

• Full audit of existing marketing assets, communications channels and data.​
• Clear marketing and communications roadmap agreed with MD.​
• Consistent LinkedIn and comms cadence established across the Group.​
• Streamline HSPG front-facing image on Linkedin, including team profiles.​
• Improved quality, clarity and consisteny of investor materials and external messaging.​
• Initial PR opportunities secured to support current transactions and announcements

12-month impact outcomes​

Material impact and results within first 12 months.​

• HSPG recognised as a credible and thoughtful voice within the affordable housing and institutional real estate sectors.​
• Clear improvement in institutional and developer perception of the platform.​
• Regular inbound conversations with developers, Local Authorities and sector partners.​
• Consistent pipeline of thought leadership, articles, white papers (an exciting HSPG version of the ‘norm’!), commentary and sector participation.​
• High-quality marketing infrastructure in place across website, content and communications.​
• A clear communications function established that supports growth across PPHA, Seahorse and future platforms.

JOB PURPOSE

We Build What’s Next

Brands aren’t coming to us for safe bets or small optimisations.

They’re asking:

• How do we move culture, not just attention?
• How do we grow when the category is flat and everyone’s shouting?
• How do we turn creators into a real business driver, not a line item?

These aren’t problems you solve by tweaking last year’s plan.

They demand connected thinking across culture, creativity, data, and media - and the confidence to make moves before they’re obvious.

At DEPT®, influencer marketing is a core growth discipline. Not an add-on. Not an afterthought. We design creator ecosystems that scale, adapt, and deliver measurable impact - across brand, performance, and commerce.

JOB PURPOSE

We Build What’s Next

Brands aren’t coming to us for safe bets or small optimisations.

They’re asking:

• How do we move culture, not just attention?
• How do we grow when the category is flat and everyone’s shouting?
• How do we turn creators into a real business driver, not a line item?

These aren’t problems you solve by tweaking last year’s plan.

They demand connected thinking across culture, creativity, data, and media - and the confidence to make moves before they’re obvious.

At DEPT®, influencer marketing is a core growth discipline. Not an add-on. Not an afterthought. We design creator ecosystems that scale, adapt, and deliver measurable impact - across brand, performance, and commerce.

Are you the go-to person in your circle for the latest trends and buzzworthy creators? Do you find yourself glued to your phone, constantly uncovering the next big thing in the world of social media?

The Role 

We are looking for a Senior Infrastructure Manager who is, first and foremost, a people leader.

In this role, your primary responsibility is the health, performance, and career growth of your engineering team. While you must possess a solid technical background to understand the challenges your team faces, your day-to-day focus will not be hands-on technical work. Instead, you will use your experience to remove blockers, guide decision-making, and ensure your engineers have the environment they need to succeed.

You will act as the bridge between technical execution and business strategy, team budget management, defining roadmaps, and ensuring operational excellence across a complex hybrid (predominantly on-prem and some cloud) estate.

The Team You Will Lead 

You will lead the Infrastructure Solutions team within the wider Technical Operations department. Your engineers are responsible for building the environment, delivering projects as requested by Engineering and Product, and ensuring we remain available, scalable, and secure. They are not responsible for the BAU function of the platforms that is managed by another team within Technical Operations. The Infrastructure Solutions team takes a concept or idea and makes that into a reality within the boundaries and constraints of our platforms. 

You will be managing a team of engineers who individually possess experience in:

• On-Premise Linux systems, Container solutions, Debian packaging, Ansible, data streaming and queuing technologies such as Kafka or RabbitMQ
• Advanced database management knowledge (MySQL, Postgres) in replicated environments.
• Physical Network management, with an on-prem estate that is Juniper focused. 
• Cloud environments: GCP and AWS
• Platform engineer focused on building, maintaining and supporting an Internal Developer Platform (CI/CD)

The Operational Reality

It is important to be transparent about the environment you are joining. We operate at high velocity with a broad and complex technology estate. However, we are a lean team, not a giant corporation with endless resources.

• Context Switching is the Norm
• You will rarely have the luxury of focusing on a single task for weeks at a time. You will be required to shift focus multiple times a week, and sometimes multiple times a day, as business priorities evolve.
• Agility over Silos
• Because we are a lean team, we wear many hats. You must be comfortable pivoting from a strategic discussion to an operational challenge without losing momentum.
• Focus Management
• Success in this role requires the ability to maintain high standards while navigating a workload that changes dynamically. This is not a role for those who prefer a slow, singular focus; it is for those who thrive on variety, pace, and solving complex problems in real-time.

As the Senior Infrastructure Manager, You Will:

People Leadership & Talent Development

• Team Management
• Lead, mentor, and motivate a team of infrastructure engineers. Conduct weekly 1-2-1s, manage performance reviews, and handle all aspects of people management.
• Formal Training & Growth
• Go beyond ad-hoc mentoring to schedule and lead formal training sessions regarding operational improvements. Actively create professional development plans for your direct reports.
• Recruitment & Retention
• Own the hiring process for your team, ensuring we attract top talent and maintain a supportive, inclusive culture.
• Culture of Learning
• Foster a "Self-Learner" mindset. Create a transparent environment where failures are treated as learning opportunities and documented as such for future reference.

Strategic & Operational Management

• Budget & Capacity Planning
• Ability to own your team's budget and lead capacity planning initiatives. You will forecast future infrastructure needs to ensure we remain scalable while managing spend for subscriptions and hardware.
• Risk & Contingency
• Proactively identify operational risks and form contingency plans immediately to ensure business continuity.
• Procedure & Frameworks
• Ability to define, maintain, and cascade operational procedures (SOPs) and ITIL standards.
• Prioritisation
• Shield your team from noise by effectively prioritising workloads (Changes, Problems, and Projects) and managing stakeholder expectations.

Technical Support & Oversight

• Performance Optimisation
• Measure and optimise system performance with a focus on improving reliability and time-to-market. You will drive innovation to get ahead of internal customer needs rather than just reacting to them.
• Visual Documentation
• Ensure the team produces detailed system design documentation, specifically enforcing the inclusion of visual representations to support understanding. Ability to technologically assess it as a technical editor.
• Hybrid Estate Management
• Ability to oversee the management of both On-Premise and Cloud (GCP/AWS), ensuring high availability across all environments.
• Unblocking Issues
• Act as the senior escalation point for complex technical issues. Your goal is not to fix the issue yourself, but to coordinate the right resources and provide air cover.

General Duties

On-Call DutiesWillingness to participate in the Management On-Call Rotation to support the department and the business (Current frequency: Once every three weeks).Ad-HocCarry out other strategic or technical duties required to support the Director/VP of Technical Operations.

Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Experience

• Deep knowledge of and experience with ITIL practices, with the ability to apply them to improve team workflows. Demonstrated ability to apply Lean Six Sigma concepts.

Technical Environment & Team Capabilities

Focusing on the technical skills that your engineers possess, it would be ideal if you had a decent working knowledge of each of the areas. Hands-on expertise in every area is not required, but the ability to hold and facilitate discussions, know when to push or hold back and when to ask poignant questions will help you effectively mentor the team and guide architectural decisions. 

For reference from above these areas are: on-prem and AWS/GCP solutions; system design from network to application level; resilient database availability strategies; automation and configuration management via Ansible, Docker and CI/CD; programming awareness in Python; Linux administration.

Your willingness to learn what you don’t know is required to succeed in this role and we will support you through that journey.

Desirable Knowledge, Skills, and Experience

The following skills or experiences are advantageous but not strictly required. They would be utilised for facilitating tasks rather than for direct, hands-on implementation.

• Innovation & Debt Management
• A keen interest in new technologies and innovation, specifically supporting development teams in the refactoring of technical debt.
• Advanced Containerization
• Deep knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, and container ecosystems.
• Observability
• Experience with monitoring systems (e.g., Zabbix, Grafana) and logging stacks (Elasticsearch, Kibana).
• Data Streaming
• Experience with data streaming and queuing technologies, specifically Apache Kafka and Druid.
• Web & Storage
• Knowledge of Nginx (or other web server technologies) and storage technologies like Gluster.
• Tooling
• Proficiency with JIRA and Confluence for project tracking and documentation.
• Version Control
• strong understanding of Git and version control best practices.

Why This Role?

If you are an experienced technical leader who finds more satisfaction in growing people and building high-performing teams than in closing tickets yourself, this is the role for you. You will have the autonomy to shape the culture of the Infrastructure function and the strategic backing to make a real impact on the business
