• Coordinate delivery of platform Infrastructure-as-Code modules, shared environments, and drift detection in partnership with SRE and infrastructure teams.
• Standardize incident management for data and AI platforms: define SLOs, create runbooks, manage rollout strategy, and lead post-incident reviews.
• Track FinOps metrics for GPU and general compute, and present usage and optimization insights to leadership.

Must have Criteria

• 45 years in technical program management or platform/SRE/DevOps roles running multi-team deliveries.
• Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure, containers and Kubernetes, observability stacks, and CI/CD.
• Hands-on exposure to Terraform or other Infrastructure-as-Code tools and platform security concepts (identity, secrets, policy as code).
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Nice to Have

• Experience with API gateways or service meshes.
• Prior work in high-growth or distributed teams.
• Familiarity with ML/AI platform SRE.
