Manager - AWS Infrastructure Engineering

nCino offers exciting career opportunities for individuals who want to join the worldwide leader in cloud banking.

We’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead our Infrastructure team within the Technology Platform group. This person will be responsible for driving the design, development, and operational excellence of infrastructure supporting multiple business units. Our infrastructure is AWS-based and relies heavily on Kubernetes, ECS, and RDS—so deep experience with these technologies is essential.

This is not a pure people-management role. We need someone technical and involved, who can dive into architecture decisions, help troubleshoot complex issues, and act as a strong technical resource and thought partner to the engineers on the team. The manager will be expected to lead by example, providing architectural guidance, ensuring operational readiness, and advocating for best practices in security, scalability, and automation.

This role sits within our Platform organization, so we’re looking for someone who brings strong platform thinking—someone who can build reusable infrastructure capabilities that scale across teams, enable faster development, and reduce operational burden. They should be passionate about empowering other teams and building reliable foundations that make other engineers more productive.

We want a leader who can balance strategic direction with day-to-day technical execution, coach and grow engineers, and collaborate closely with peers across application and platform teams. Strong communication skills, a bias for action, and a mindset for continuous improvement are key.
