About the role

This role will operate across all domains of AI infrastructure, from the GPUs up to the multi-cluster orchestration layer.
The work is less about owning a single system and more about imposing order on ambiguity: standing up the right structures, driving decisions to closure, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks across dozens of stakeholders.
If you take satisfaction in turning a chaotic, half-defined initiative into a predictable, well-governed program, this role is for you.

Own complex migrations end to end. Lead large-scale infrastructure migrations across teams and domains. This will involve scoping the work, sequencing dependencies, managing risk, and driving them to completion without surprises.
Drive process across infrastructure.
Help managers build the right structures. Partner with engineering managers and leads to design the team structures, ownership boundaries, and working models a program needs to succeed. Spot gaps in accountability before they become problems.
Own follow-ups relentlessly. Be the person who tracks every open item, owns the action register, and closes loops. Drive decisions and unblockers to resolution rather than letting them drift.
Create clarity from ambiguity. Take loosely defined goals and turn them into scoped, sequenced, resourced plans with clear owners and measurable milestones.
Manage risk and dependencies. Maintain a clear-eyed view of cross-team dependencies and risks
surface them early, drive mitigation, and keep leadership informed with honest, signal-rich updates.
