Infrastructure Manager

About OLIX AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance. The Role We are looking for an Infrastructure Manager to build and lead the team responsible for the internal platform our entire organization depends on. You will own the compute, storage, networking, and CI/CD systems that our hardware, software, ML, and compiler engineers use to build, test, and collaborate daily. This is a high-ownership role with the freedom to define our internal infrastructure, security standards, and technical operations from the ground up. You will guide your team to transform slow, manual workflows into fast, reproducible, and genuinely secure systems, while currently holding the reins for our foundational IT operations as the company expands. If you care equally about maximizing engineering velocity, establishing best-in-class security, and building a highly capable technical team, there is a massive amount of impactful work to dig into here. Responsibilities Day to day, you will guide your team and manage the strategic execution of our engineering platform and technical operations. This is a mix of strategic alignment, architectural guidance, and team enablement focused on: Team Leadership & Delivery: Direct the team in building provisioning automation, CI/CD pipelines, internal tooling, network design, and observability systems. Operational & IT Oversight: Ensure your team effectively supports and unblocks engineers on complex build or connectivity issues, while also steering the broader IT function, including identity management, device fleets, and SaaS administration, as we scale through this phase of growth. Security Posture: Champion a secure-by-default mindset across infrastructure, endpoints, and access management. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with engineering leaders, with compiler engineering as an early and demanding customer, to ensure the engineering platform and the broader company environment remain highly coherent and efficient. Skills & Experience Team Leadership & Management: Proven track record of managing, mentoring, and scaling high-performing infrastructure, platform, or DevOps engineering teams. You know how to align technical execution with overarching company goals. Deep Technical Foundation: A strong background as an engineer or architect in cloud computing, storage, and net
