About The Position

The Director of Platform Engineering will lead the technical foundation for one of Salute’s most important strategic technology initiatives: a new enterprise operating platform for mission-critical data center operations and lifecycle services at global scale. You will design, build, and scale the core platform architecture that will support consistent, reliable, data-driven operations across complex data center environments. While important technology foundations are already in place, the platform is early enough that this leader will have meaningful latitude to shape its architecture, engineering practices, operating model, and technical standards.
