You'll have the opportunity to help shape the operating standards behind a next-generation AI cloud platform, working on complex infrastructure challenges with real ownership and impact. This is a chance to play a meaningful role in scaling high-performance, sustainable data centre operations in a fast-moving environment.

We are seeking a Deployment Engineering Director to lead and scale a high-performing engineering team responsible for core platform systems used across the company. You will drive multi-quarter platform initiatives that improve delivery velocity, system reliability, and product quality through systems validation. Working closely with Product Management and partner engineering teams, you will turn complex, ambiguous challenges into clear execution plans and raise the bar for engineering quality and operational excellence.

• Lead and scale a high-performing engineering team responsible for core platform systems used across the company.
• Define and drive multi-quarter platform initiatives that improve delivery velocity, system reliability/quality based on systems validations, and evolve the product in partnership with Product Management and partner engineering teams.
• Partner closely with product and engineering leaders to evolve the platform as a product, balancing long-term architecture with near-term business needs.
• Take ambiguous, high-impact problem areas (e.g., system scalability, vendor experience, platform abstractions) and turn them into clear execution plans.
• Drive alignment across multiple teams working on complex, interdependent systems including internal platforms, infrastructure, and developer tooling.
• Raise the bar on engineering quality, operational excellence, and execution across the platform organization.

• Must be able to travel up to 50% of the time.
