Description

In this role, you will be responsible for defining and building infrastructure strategy that balances continuous innovation with high reliability, performance, and cost efficiency. You will lead a growing, multi-tiered team of engineers who are responsible for foundational platforms that power large-scale consumer and enterprise workloads.

Beyond operational delivery, you will establish standards for operational excellence, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and capacity planning. You will be a key strategic partner, translating complex business imperatives into scalable platform designs while cultivating a strong engineering culture focused on automation, technical ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.","responsibilities":"Strategic Leadership & Architecture

Multi-Year Roadmap & Strategy: Define and execute the long-term technical vision and capital investment strategy for global compute, storage, network, observability, and AI infrastructure.

Management & Organizational Alignment: Partner with Leadership to align platform capabilities, risk management, capacity investments, and architectural decisions with overarching business goals.

Technical Tradeoffs: Evaluate emerging infrastructure technologies, and make strategic platform trade-off decisions.

AI Compute & Modern Infrastructure Platforms

AI Infrastructure at Scale: Architect, scale, and optimize large-scale environments for training and inference, resolving complex challenges in cluster design, scheduling, interconnect performance, storage throughput, and capacity planning.

Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Compute: Oversee internal Kubernetes compute environments as well as managed public cloud platforms (AWS EKS, GCP GKE) and large bare-metal footprints to provide seamless developer experiences.

Data & Storage Platform Management: Direct the strategy and maintenance for distributed block/object storage alongside managed database and data streaming platforms (e.g., Cassandra, FoundationDB, Redis, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Kafka).

Networking, Traffic & Security: Ensure reliable global traffic management, load balancing, cloud networking architectures, and enterprise security compliance across all environments.

SRE, Operational Excellence & Engineering Culture

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE): Cultivate a mature SRE culture focusing on high availability, automated fault recovery, telemetry, logging, metrics, and rigorous post-incident analysis.

Global Team & Leadership Development: Build, mentor, and lead a globally distributed organization comprising engineers, managers, and managers-of-managers across all levels (interns through senior principal staff).

Culture of Ownership & Automation: Establish an environment characterized by strong technical ownership, clear accountability, continuous operational refinement, and aggressive automation of manual processes.

Preferred Qualifications

Large-Scale Enterprise Provenance: Experience leading core infrastructure or foundational platform SRE for a global, tier-1 technology organization operating at massive scale.

Multi-Engine Database & Data Infrastructure: Familiarity overseeing diverse open-source and proprietary storage/data ecosystems (e.g., Cassandra, FoundationDB, Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL).

Financial & Capacity Governance: Proven competency managing large-scale infrastructure investments, capital expenditures, operational budgets, capacity forecasting, and cloud optimization strategies.

Minimum Qualifications

MS Degree in Computer Science or related degree and 12+ years of experience of progressive engineering leadership experience building, scaling, and operating mission-critical infrastructure platforms and global services.

Management & Leadership Scope: 6+ years managing multi-layered engineering organizations (manager-of-managers) with a proven track record of hiring, developing, and retaining top-tier technical talent across global sites.

Cloud & Distributed Compute Expertise: Demonstrated hands-on and architectural mastery of cloud-native infrastructure, Kubernetes platform engineering, and hybrid cloud operations (AWS, GCP, private data centers).

Accelerated Computing & AI Infrastructure: Direct operational and architectural experience running large-scale systems for AI/ML training and inference workloads, including utilization optimization, scheduling, and high-performance storage/networking.

SRE & Production Operations: Deep background in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles, telemetry, observability frameworks, disaster recovery, and managing 24/7 high-availability infrastructure at scale.

Technical Communication: Exceptional ability to seamlessly bridge executive strategy and low-level technical trade-offs-communicating vision to executive stakeholders while driving detailed technical discussions with principal engineers.
