- Capacity Planning & FinOps: Own the multi-million-dollar infrastructure CapEx/OpEx budget, leading vendor negotiations (hardware, data centers, transit providers) and optimizing unit economics as traffic scales exponentially.
- Security & Compliance: Partner with internal CISO/InfoSec teams to ensure operational infrastructure complies with FedRAMP, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and Zero Trust security architectures.
- Executive Leadership: Build, mentor, and lead high-performing, globally distributed engineering, operations, and telecommunications teams across multiple time zones.

- Technical Depth: Deep domain expertise in large-scale BGP routing, DDoS mitigation architecture, software-defined networking (SDN), edge computing, and bare-metal/cloud hybrid architectures.
- Scale Track Record: Proven experience operating distributed infrastructure processing petabytes of real-time data under strict low-latency requirements.
- Leadership & FinOps: Demonstrated success leading 100+ person engineering and operations organizations and managing enterprise-scale infrastructure budgets.
