  • Establish software engineering practices and drive innovation within the automation framework.
  • Drive adoption of the automation platform across Engineering, Operations, Security, and Risk teams.
  • Translate enterprise strategic priorities into actionable project plans and delivery outcomes.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of Technology Strategic Leadership experience or equivalent through work, training, military, or education.
  • 10+ years of management or leadership experience.
  • 10+ years of experience in network engineering, platform engineering, infrastructure automation, cloud networking, or software engineering.
  • Proven success delivering large-scale infrastructure automation, autonomous operations, or platform engineering transformations.
  • Experience building an internal developer platform, network automation platform, or infrastructure control plane at enterprise scale (preferred).
  • Experience designing and scaling enterprise automation platforms across multiple engineering organizations (preferred).
  • Experience building automation frameworks integrating observability, orchestration, workflow execution, APIs, and lifecycle management (preferred).
  • Experience in hyperscale cloud, finance, telecom, or SaaS environments with AI and modern software practices (preferred).
