What You'll Do

  • Own the end‑to‑end strategy and execution for public and private cloud platforms
  • Lead a large, distributed organization (50-100+ engineers) across the US and India, including managers and senior technical leaders
  • Unify currently siloed private and public cloud functions into a single, coherent platform
  • Drive delivery of cloud infrastructure spanning:
    • Kubernetes and container platforms
    • Compute, GPU, and storage services
    • Networking, identity, security, and access
    • Infrastructure‑as‑Code and automation
  • Provide direction and accountability to architects and senior engineers, ensuring decisions are made and executed
  • Build a strong operating model that balances autonomy, reliability, cost control, and speed
  • Establish trust and credibility within a deeply technical engineering culture
  • Partner closely with leaders across technology, security, and the business to ensure alignment and outcomes
  • Public and private cloud are no longer disconnected-they operate as one platform
  • Strategy doesn't stall at design; platforms are built, adopted, and running in production
  • Teams are autonomous, accountable, and delivering reliably at scale
  • Architects are aligned and decisively driven toward execution
  • Cloud platforms are cost‑effective, resilient, secure, and easy for internal teams to consume

Required Experience

  • 12+ years in cloud, infrastructure, or platform engineering roles
  • 5+ years leading managers and senior technical leaders
  • Proven ownership of both private and public cloud environments (this is non‑negotiable)
  • Strong public cloud experience across at least two of: AWS, Azure, GCP
  • Deep private cloud experience (VMware, Kubernetes‑led platforms, or equivalent)
  • Strong Infrastructure‑as‑Code background (Terraform, Ansible, Python, or similar)
  • Experience building self‑service internal platforms or IaaS products
  • Solid grounding in networking, security, identity, and distributed systems
  • Taking strategy from concept to delivery

Nice to Have

  • Leadership experience with OpenShift or upstream Kubernetes
  • Experience building GUI‑ or portal‑based private cloud platforms
  • DevOps, SRE, or Internal Developer Platform (IDP) leadership experience
  • Exposure to high‑performance compute, GPU workloads, or advanced analytics platforms
