You'll shape a multi-year vision for how our data services underpin AI and GPU workloads, then lead delivery from 0 to 1 and 1 toN. That means working directly with strategic customers and partners, collaborating closely with engineering and GTM, evaluating emerging data technologies, and ensuring our services are secure, reliable, and easy to adopt. The hardest problems you'll tackle are around scale, throughput, and performance for GPU-intensive applications, and you'll have real influence over the architecture to solve them.
