  • Documenting platform service usage while conveying the value of technical solutions as the voice of product development teams.

  • Negotiating agreements and contracts while interacting with external vendors and partners supplying software/services.

  • Serving as a thoughtful leader, influencing strategic decisions across multiple functions and external industry groups.

Do what you love

  • Have 15 years of relevant experience and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or its equivalent.

  • Possess mandatory experience managing cloud technologies & control planes at enterprise scale, with exposure to platforms like AWS, Azure, GCP etc.

  • Demonstrate a proven ability to manage complex infrastructure balancing technical debt.

  • Drive success metrics centered on platform performance, including establishing and writing requirements for Service Level Objectives (SLOs).

  • Demonstrate technical fluency in CNCF technologies, requiring Kubernetes expertise, alongside experience in cloud infrastructure, monitoring, database management, and data visualization tools.

  • Resolve ambiguity into actionable strategies, bridging the gap between engineering teams and less-technical stakeholders.

  • Communicate effectively by writing clear PRDs, product outcome documents, and inspiring partner teams and executives. Cultivate great engineering partnerships and empathy.

  • Demonstrate initiative, exceptional responsibility, and excellent communication skills while leading cross-functional teams and adapting to dynamic, outcome-focused environments.
