• Comfortable leading incident coordination, facilitating discussions, documenting decisions, and driving follow-up actions.


• Strong technical background that allows you to understand engineering discussions, infrastructure dependencies, and architectural trade-offs without being the primary implementer.


• It will be an added bonus if you have experience with GPU infrastructure, AI/ML platforms, or large-scale inference systems; experience delivering cloud infrastructure or data center deployment projects; familiarity with capacity planning, production operations, and reliability engineering; and previous experience in high-growth infrastructure or platform engineering organizations where priorities change quickly and execution speed matters.
