Strong technical command of cloud-native systems (AWS), container orchestration, Terraform (IaC), CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling.
Experience leading reliability organizations through scaling inflection points and evolving operating models.
Familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure requirements, including model serving, vector search, and data pipeline reliability.
Ability to operate in high-trust, regulated environments (Legal Tech, FinTech, Healthcare, Government) with compliance and data sensitivity requirements.
Executive presence and credibility to influence C-suite decision-making on risk trade-offs, investment priorities, and operational transformation.

Benefits:

Competitive salary: $260,000$360,000 annually.
