* Manage relationships with hardware and software vendors to stay aligned with their roadmaps and offerings.
* Collaborate with hardware vendors and application teams to optimize performance and reliability. Scale and optimize infrastructure to support increasing user and application demands.
* Create and maintain an internal roadmap for third-party components (e.g., servers, workstations, GPUs, OS, platform software), ensuring alignment with product teams.
* Develop a strategy for managing third-party software licenses, ensuring compliance and cost-effectiveness.
* Communicate strategies and ideas to ensure that both technical and non-technical stakeholders are aligned.
The right stuff:
* Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams and articulate technical concepts clearly.
* Ability to apply commercial awareness when making technical decisions.
* Ability to work independently with minimal supervision, use initiative, and be proactive.
* Strong quality culture, ethical standards, values, and good judgment.
* Critical thinking with the ability to provide feedback and formulate improvement plans.

* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
* 10+ years of experience in system engineering, infrastructure architecture, or related roles.
* Experience with cloud architectures (Azure, AWS), virtualization technologies, and building scalable infrastructure solutions.
* Comfort with networking, storage, and security best practices, with a focus on ease of management and long-term stability.
