We’d love to hear from you if you have

8+ years in Infrastructure TPM or related roles (cloud engineering, SRE, or infra-focused software engineering), with hands-on experience in cloud-native architectures and distributed systems (AWS, GCP, or similar)

• Proven stakeholder management, with experience engaging external partners (cloud providers, enterprise customers) and translating complex technical challenges into clear executive-level communications

While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have
