• Strong academic foundation in core computer science areas, especially operating systems, distributed systems, and compilers
• 15+ years of software engineering experience, including significant experience building cloud-native infrastructure
• 10+ years of experience leading high-performing engineering teams in global or matrixed organizations
• Hands-on experience in building, deploying, or integrating machine learning systems at scale
• Deep knowledge of distributed systems, networking, data structures, OS, and cloud architecture
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and strategic planning skills
• Demonstrated experience driving complex cross-functional engineering initiatives
