Director, Software Engineering - Cloud Compute and Infrastructure

Responsibilities

• Lead software engineering teams responsible for cloud compute, bare-metal fleet management, and CI infrastructure, owning architecture, implementation, deployment, and operations.
• Set the technical direction for compute control planes, resource provisioning, topology-aware placement, reservations, and capacity management across physical servers, virtual machines, and containers.
• Automate the bare-metal lifecycle: hardware discovery and inventory, server bring-up, imaging, firmware and driver configuration, out-of-band management, health checks, reprovisioning, and recovery.
• Build CI services that allocate the right hardware, provision repeatable test environments, record hardware and software configurations, collect diagnostics, and restore systems to a known state. Shorten the path from a hardware or software change to actionable validation results.
• Keep engineering services dependable while supporting evolving preproduction hardware and software. Define service-level objectives, isolate failures, improve observability, and turn incidents and recurring test-infrastructure failures into engineering fixes.
• Measure and improve hardware onboarding time, provisioning speed, CI queue time, productive fleet utilization, recovery time, and cost efficiency as capacity expands.
• Set engineering standards for design and code reviews, automated testing, secure development, release quality, and safe changes to production systems.
• Hire, coach, and retain engineers and engineering managers. Establish clear ownership, develop technical leaders, and build teams that deliver consistently over multiple release cycles.
• Partner with hardware, firmware, drivers, networking, storage, security, and validation teams to onboard platforms and diagnose failures across system boundaries.
• Translate engineering users’ needs into clear priorities and technical decisions.
