We are an AI\-native company. Every team member is expected to leverage AI daily, and we evaluate AI fluency as part of our hiring process. Join us and help redefine what's possible. This role bridges infrastructure and product engineering: you'll build genuine partnerships across product, AI, and enterprise teams so that ownership is shared and velocity is never blocked by platform constraints. As Director, you'll set a forward\-looking cloud vision, proactively align with stakeholders across the business, and ensure the platform scales for multi\-shard, multi\-region growth while meeting security and compliance commitments (SOC 2, business continuity/disaster recovery, and enterprise security frameworks). **The Role:** * Cost Efficiency: Drive significant annual infrastructure savings by migrating data workloads to EKS and self\-hosting key services such as OpenSearch. * Ingress Convergence: Deprecate legacy frontend ALBs and consolidate to a single EKS\-managed ALB per shard, unblocking faster deployments across the org. * Coverage \& Bench Depth: Eliminate single points of ownership across Networking, OpenSearch, and Terraform through cross\-training and targeted hiring into coverage gaps. * Stakeholder Alignment: Stand up a recurring alignment cadence with Product, AI, Enterprise, and Security so infra planning is driven by demand, not ad\-hoc interrupts. * Automation: Ship automated shard buildout via Backstage to remove manual toil from enterprise scaling. * Reliability: Cut P0/P1 incidents attributed to Cloud Platform (DNS, ALB misconfiguration) through h
