  • Lead, hire, coach, and grow a high-ownership engineering team.
  • Guide the transition from current compute capabilities to next-generation compute platforms.

  • Own utilization, capacity planning, supply planning, and cost and margin management for the fleet.
  • Partner with Product, SDK, UX/DX, Security, leadership, and design-partner customers to align priorities and unblock delivery.
  • Review technical artifacts such as design docs and code to raise the quality bar and keep execution on track.

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to partner across engineering, product, and leadership.
  • Strong leadership, coaching, and performance management skills.
  • Experience with on-call, incident management, and postmortem-driven reliability practices.
  • Preferred: experience with microVMs and virtualization technologies such as Firecracker, gVisor, or Edera, or managed-compute primitives such as AWS Fargate, GCP Cloud Run, or AWS Lambda.
  • Preferred: experience with Kubernetes internals.
  • Preferred: experience building serverless or hosted-compute products from 0 to 1.
  • Preferred: multi-cloud delivery across AWS and GCP.
  • Preferred: experience with cold-start, warm-pool, and scheduling/latency optimization for on-demand compute.
  • Preferred: experience with agent sandboxes, secure execution of untrusted code, or AI-agent infrastructure.
