• Continuously improve internal standards, documentation, and processes.
• Enable comprehensive automation, and promote maintainable, reusable infrastructure-as-code frameworks.

• 10+ years of experience in IT systems engineering, infrastructure, or platform operations.
• 5+ years leading technical teams, including direct people management.
• Proven track record of delivering infrastructure at scale across global, hybrid, or remote organizations.
• Deep knowledge of identity, endpoint lifecycle, automation, network, and SaaS management.
• Experience building and managing teams in high-compliance environments (SOC 2, HIPAA, HITRUST).
• Strong communication and leadership presence with the ability to influence across stakeholders and execs.
• Ability to travel up to 20% domestically and internationally.
