Own the compute and data foundations that power the entire company. Build and operate an EKS-based platform, drive database platform decisions across Postgres, OpenSearch, and BigQuery, and ensure reliability through SLOs, observability, and incident response. Optimize cloud spend with attribution, lead low-downtime database migrations, and create infrastructure-as-code and self-serve primitives so product teams can provision and operate services safely.
