Tower Cloud
Tower Cloud is building the infrastructure platform that allows teams to focus on building products, not managing cloud infrastructure.
We believe developers should wake up thinking about applications, AI agents and customer outcomes—not servers, Kubernetes clusters, networking configurations or cloud complexity.
We are looking for a Head of Engineering to help build that future.
The Role
You will work directly with the Founder to shape the product, platform, architecture, engineering culture, security posture and long-term technology strategy of Tower Cloud.
This is not a management role.
This is a builder role.
You will be expected to make technical decisions, move quickly, operate with incomplete information, and help create a category-defining company from the earliest stages.
The person who succeeds in this role has the potential to become a long-term technology leader within the company as Tower Cloud scales globally.
What we are looking for
· Strong hands-on experience building and operating production cloud infrastructure.
· Deep expertise in Kubernetes, DevOps, platform engineering and cloud-native systems.
· Proven ability to design reliable, scalable and secure systems.
· Strong understanding of infrastructure security, operational risk, disaster recovery and compliance.
· Experience owning or contributing to ISO 27001, security governance or similar operational frameworks.
· High technical curiosity and a habit of rapidly evaluating and adopting new tools, technologies and approaches.
· Strong ownership mindset with the ability to independently drive outcomes.
Technical Areas
We are building cloud infrastructure, not an application on top of it. You should bring strong depth across several of the following:
· Distributed systems: scalability, reliability, fault tolerance, consistency, and multi-tenancy
· Cloud-native infrastructure: containers, orchestration, cluster operations, and managed Kubernetes
· Compute & virtualization: provisioning, isolation, and production operations
· Networking & security: routing, load balancing, DNS, ingress, identity, and tenant isolation
· Storage & databases: persistent storage, replication, backups, and managed database operations
· Reliability & platform: observability, incident response, automation, APIs, control planes, and developer experience
Significant Advantage
· Experience building infrastructure, developer platforms or cloud products.
· Existing relationships with exceptional engineers, specialists, open-source contributors and technical operators that can be leveraged when expertise or rapid support is needed.
· Experience working in fast-moving startups with limited resources.
· Strong understanding of AI-native development workflows and modern engineering tooling.
· Experience hiring and mentoring engineers.
Why Join
This is a rare opportunity to help build a global infrastructure company from its earliest days.
You will have meaningful ownership, significant influence on the product and platform, and the opportunity to create long-term value alongside the company as it grows.
- We care more about judgement, execution, curiosity and ownership than titles, credentials or years of experience.
