  • Own incident management processes, including PIRs (post-incident reviews), root cause analysis, and CAPA follow-through.
  • Champion preventive maintenance, physical audits, operational testing, and continuous improvement to reduce downtime.
  • Present operational program performance and recommendations to executive leadership regularly.
  • Foster collaboration across infrastructure, product, supply chain, and engineering functions to scale effectively.

  • Ability to operate autonomously in high-speed, ambiguous environments.
  • Willingness to travel up to 40% domestically and internationally.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Advanced degree (Master’s in Engineering, MBA, or related field).
  • Hands‑on experience in ultra‑large, hyperscale data ecosystems and high‑performance AI / ML platforms.

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience presenting program results to executive audiences.
  • What’s in It for You :

  • Competitive base salary and a performance-driven bonus and equity package valued at 2x to 4x base salary.
