What You ll Be Doing

  • Identify and consolidate overlapping OS platform responsibilities (e.g., hardening, lifecycle management, automation, observability) to increase leverage and reduce duplicated effort

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or at least 7 to 10 years of professional experience
  • Experience as a Product Owner, Technical Product Manager, Platform Lead, or similar role supporting enterprise infrastructure or platform services
  • Strong experience administering or leading enterprise Linux/Unix platforms supporting critical production workloads
  • Experience delivering automation, infrastructure-as-code, standardization, or self-service platform initiatives in large-scale environments
  • Experience presenting technical strategy, roadmap direction, and delivery priorities to both technical and executive stakeholders

Added bonus if you have

  • Experience supporting AI/ML, data platforms, or other advanced compute workloads in enterprise environments
  • Experience with observability, AIOps, anomaly detection, predictive alerting, or automated remediation practices
  • Experience in security-focused, regulated, or audit-driven environments
  • Experience developing and executing multi-year technology roadmaps for shared infrastructure platforms
