Head of Infrastructure

LEGO Digital Play is a new venture within the LEGO ecosystem aimed at creating innovative digital experiences. As the Head of Infrastructure, you will be responsible for building the technical foundation that supports the company's digital initiatives, overseeing cloud, AI/ML, and developer platform infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

• Define and own the infrastructure strategy and roadmap across cloud foundations, AI/ML platform, developer platform plumbing, and platform reliability tooling — taking ownership of quarterly goals as the function matures
• Drive alignment on tooling, standards, and platform direction across Central Technology teams, the AI organisation, and internal studios
• Stand up the multi-cloud foundation on Google Cloud and AWS: landing zones, account and project structure, infrastructure as code (Terraform), networking, IAM, secrets management, and platform-wide observability
• Build the AI/ML platform in close partnership with the AI team — GPU orchestration and scheduling, model serving infrastructure, MLOps tooling, and inference APIs. The AI team is the primary infrastructure customer in the near term
• Deliver paved roads: an internal developer platform and shared tooling that let engineering teams and internal studios ship reliably and quickly without reinventing the basics. Prioritise self-service over ticket-driven operations from day one
• Own infrastructure-layer reliability primitives: define SLO frameworks and error-budget policies, instrument platform observability, and establish the tooling and conventions that live service and product teams depend on. (Day-to-day live operations sits with a separate Head of LiveOps function.)
• Embed FinOps discipline into the infrastructure operating model — visibility, allocation, anomaly detection, and a cost-aware engineering culture — from the foundation up
• Design security and compliance controls into the cloud foundation by default: IAM least privilege, data residency, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, and GDPR/COPPA requirements addressed at the infrastructure layer. Partner with the Child Safety Products team wherever infrastructure controls are the mechanism
• Hire, mentor, and grow the infrastructure team — establish technical standards, engineering culture, and operating rhythm as the organisation scales
• Represent infrastructure clearly to senior leadership: surface trade-offs, risk, readiness, and investment cases to both technical and non-technical audiences
