  • Identify areas for process and tooling improvements, and drive initiatives that improve predictability, visibility, and efficiency of infrastructure delivery.

What You Bring
  • 7+ years of experience leading complex technical programs in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or capacity planning environments.
