Description

  • Own end-to-end cloud infrastructure strategy across AWS, GCP, Azure, IBM, and OCI, including architecture, capacity planning, maintenance, resourcing, and vendor strategy.

  • Partner with executives to communicate infrastructure investments, tradeoffs, roadmaps, budgets, and planning decisions.
  • Lead build-versus-buy, multi-cloud, and centralization decisions, documenting and defending strategic tradeoffs.
  • Manage cross-functional dependencies with Security, Data, and Product Engineering teams to remove blockers and protect delivery timelines.
