Nimble's infrastructure is not a support function - it is the product: a global browser and proxy fleet, web-scale data pipelines, and an API our customers build their businesses on. We need a Director to set the strategy for everything underneath it - cloud, security, and the delivery lifecycle - and to bring AI into how that infrastructure is run.
This is a director-level leadership role, not an IC stretch assignment. You will lead our DevOps organization - which already has a team leader running day-to-day delivery - and operate one level up: setting direction, owning the roadmap, making architecture and build-vs-buy calls with authority, and representing infrastructure at the leadership table. Close enough to the work to guide it in depth, senior enough to own it end to end.
Nimble is the real-time web search platform built for enterprise accuracy, completeness, and trust. We run Web Search Agents that actively navigate live websites using real browsers and reasoning, turning the public web into governed, decision-grade data for AI systems and high-stakes business use.
Unlike index-based “AI search” tools or brittle legacy scraping, Nimble makes the live web queryable on demand, delivering structured outputs that teams can verify and rely on. Our platform powers use cases where correctness matters: financial due diligence, real-time pricing and promotions, market intelligence, and AI systems that depend on fresh, complete data.
Trusted by leading enterprises like Home Depot, Uber, and Coca-Cola and backed by top-tier investors, Nimble sits at the intersection of AI, automation, and real-time web intelligence.
As demand accelerates across AI, LLMs, and data-driven decisioning, we’re scaling quickly and looking for high-energy, driven teammates who thrive in fast-moving environments and want to help define a new category.
Why join Nimble?
Work on a deeply technical platform powering real-time AI and enterprise decisions
Help define the future of Web Search Agents and live web intelligence
Build alongside a sharp, mission-driven team that moves fast, ships often, and takes ownership
עיקרי התפקיד
Own cloud infrastructure and security as one strategy: architecture, scale, and the path to our next order of magnitude of growth, with our security and compliance posture (IAM, secrets, hardened baselines, SOC 2 / ISO 27001 audit readiness) built in from the start, not bolted on.
Own the SDLC end to end, and drive AI into every stage of it: measure delivery performance (lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate) and use AI to improve each stage of the lifecycle - planning, code review, testing, release, and operations - alongside AIOps practices like automated/self-healing recovery and intelligent alerting.
Own FinOps as a strategic discipline: the cloud bill is a P&L line you're accountable for, with unit economics driven down every quarter.
Own vendor and contractual relationships across cloud, tooling, and infrastructure services - negotiating leverage, not just approving invoices.
Lead the DevOps organization through its team leader: set technical direction and standards, develop the team leader into a stronger manager, and grow the bench beneath them.
Partner as a peer with Backend, Infra, AI, Data, Product, Security and Finance leadership - infrastructure decisions get made with you in the room, not after.
דרישות
10+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering, with a proven track record of scaling systems by an order of magnitude or more - not just operating at a scale someone else built.
Led engineering teams at least twice, and led team managers at least once; at least two of those stints at strong, high-growth technology companies through a scale-up from roughly 50 to 200+ employees.
Deep, hands-on credibility in cloud architecture, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code, across AWS and at least one other major provider (Azure, GCP, or Oracle) - enough to guide and challenge the team's technical decisions directly.
Proven ownership of FinOps / cloud cost strategy at meaningful scale, with a concrete result you can point to.
Direct experience owning security posture and compliance (SOC 2 / ISO 27001 or equivalent) as an infrastructure leader, not just partnering with a security team.
Experience negotiating and managing vendor and infrastructure contracts.
A clear, current point of view on AIOps and using AI to improve the SDLC - and something you've actually built or adopted, not just a talking point.
Combines strategic ownership with hands-on depth - equally comfortable setting a three-year infrastructure roadmap and reviewing the architecture underneath it.
Bonus: high-egress, high-throughput infrastructure (proxy networks, browser farms, crawling/scraping, CDN) or a data/API/usage-based product where infrastructure cost is the gross margin.
