Director, Cloud Infrastructure

Convene Hospitality Group, Remote (US East Coast / Eastern Time Zone Preferred) +1

The role

We're hiring a Director of Cloud Infrastructure to join Convene Hospitality Group's (CHG) Technology organization. It's a hands-on role with an AI-native mindset. There are no direct reports today. You’ll lead through the platform, redesigning how we deploy and setting the standards our product and corporate engineering teams build on. You'll also run the cloud, AI, and venue infrastructure under our portfolio of brands, from client-facing experiences to the systems that keep our nearly 40 venues running. This is a rebuild. You design it and you build it.

Today, deployments are manual and happen about once a sprint. That's the starting line. You'll rethink how we ship so that deployments are unlocked, safe, secure, and governed.

You'll have high autonomy and real decision-making power over the tools we use and how we build. We're committed to AWS and will build deeply on it. Most of what sits on top is fair game: CI tooling, pipeline design, orchestration patterns, and source control. A decision like Bitbucket versus GitHub is a live call, and it's yours to make. Legacy migration follows the decisions. You make the call, then you do the move. This role will have a lot of influence.

The role

Today, deployments are manual and happen about once a sprint. That's the starting line. You'll rethink how we ship so that deployments are unlocked, safe, secure, and governed.

What you need

You have 9+ years of experience building and running production cloud infrastructure.
You're deep on AWS: multi-account structure, networking, IAM, and container orchestration on EKS and/or ECS. You've operated production workloads through incidents, upgrades, and growth.
You're fluent in infrastructure as code (Terraform or equivalent) and treat infrastructure changes with the same rigor as application code: reviewed, versioned, reproducible.
You've built or rebuilt a CI/CD pipeline that teams actually use. You know what it takes to move an organization from manual deploys to automated ones, including the trust and process work that comes with it.
You think about security and governance as design inputs rather than a review gate. Secrets, least privilege, audit trails, environment isolation, and who is allowed to push what, where.
You’ve run AI systems in production, from the gateway layer (access control, provider routing, cost attribution, observability) to LLM-backed features, including their evaluation, monitoring, and versioning. Experience with MLOps is a plus as our needs grow.
You can estimate cost and defend the number. You've modeled the spend of an architecture before it was built and adjusted the design when it didn't hold up.
You're high agency. You set direction without waiting for a spec, make platform decisions with real consequences, and then own the migration. You hold positions firmly, change them on evidence, and leave behind a written trail.
You’re a problem solver. Application and data teams seek you out for collaboration on architecture, debugging, and trade-off analysis.
You work in the open and hand things off deliberately. You write the runbook, train the second operator, and measure your success partly by how little depends on you being reachable.
You explain decisions, risks and trade-offs clearly to engineers, non-engineers, and executives. You make teammates better through code review, pairing, and mentoring.
You use AI agents for real multi-step work beyond autocomplete, and you verify what they produce against the real system.
