You'll own the roadmap for modernizing our platform's core systems, working closely with engineering and operations teams to install, optimize, and evolve on-prem environments. From architecting high-availability compute clusters to coordinating multi-tiered storage and integrating the latest GPU advancements, you'll ensure our infrastructure meets the demands of a rapidly growing business and unlocks new capabilities for our users. Collaboration will be key as you partner across engineering, product & business teams, and external vendors to understand technical requirements, operational challenges, and future opportunities. By translating complex infrastructure needs into actionable strategies, you'll deliver solutions that maximize reliability, performance, and efficiency-enabling our teams to build innovative products at scale.
