About The Position

In this critical leadership role, you will drive high-impact, cross-functional programs spanning software development, GPU data center infrastructure, and distributed, highly available cloud services. You will lead the planning, design, and delivery of technical solutions to solve business-critical problems in a fast-paced, agile, and collaborative environment.

Your work bridges hardware, networking, and software layers, supporting the provisioning, deployment, and operation of GPU servers in data centers for AI/ML workloads and cloud-scale applications. You will monitor project health from initiation through on-site and multi-site execution, assigning and tracking work, mentoring others, and providing technical direction. You will collaborate closely with technical architects, engineering, product, program management, and key customers, ensuring that solutions are aligned with business needs and customer success. Your exceptional business judgment, analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills will help you to thrive in ambiguous, evolving environments. You will be a self-starter who partners across cloud engineering, business, and executive teams, maintaining high standards while evolving capabilities and roadmaps.
