Job Description
Job Summary
Responsible for managing, planning and guiding Molina Healthcare's technology platforms, infrastructure operations, and engineering teams across all of the company's business entities. Works closely with the CIO, CTO, IT Senior Management Team and key business management to provide technical leadership, managing the technology portfolio toward a more efficient, flexible and capable future state.
As the
AVP Information Services
, you will lead the strategy, architecture, and execution of our
next-generation cloud platform
, transforming the developer and solution engineering experience.
This role brings together four domains under one charter —
Platform Engineering, Solution Engineering, AI/Data Platform Enablement, and Cloud Financial Governance
— to deliver a cohesive, scalable, and AI-ready environment for innovation.
Key Responsibilities
Define the
vision and architecture
for a resilient, secure, and automated
Azure Cloud Platform
supporting both application and AI workloads.
Lead the evolution of
Developer Portals
and
Internal Developer Platforms (IDP)
that provide one self-service interface to manage the cloud estate — from provisioning to Day-2 operations.
Implement
App Patterns (Infrastructure Templates)
to standardize application deployments with embedded functional and non-functional requirements.
Design and operationalize
Isolation Zones (IZs)
that enforce workload segregation and tailored security controls based on risk, sensitivity, and compliance posture.
Evolve the
shared services and control plane
(networking, IAM, CI/CD, observability, compliance, image factory) that underpin all workloads.
Ensure
regional resiliency and zonal fault tolerance
, enabling portability and recovery across Azure regions and clouds.
Build and lead a
Solution Engineering function
that partners with enterprise architecture and application teams to design cloud-native, secure, and cost-effective solutions.
Develop standardized
Solution Patterns
— pre-approved architectural blueprints that align with platform standards, compliance, and cost optimization.
Accelerate solution delivery by enabling teams to deploy rapidly using platform-certified modules, templates, and DevSecOps automation that integrates Terraform, Ansible, and Azure DevOps pipelines.
Serve as a
technical bridge
between application teams, architecture, and platform operations — ensuring all deployed solutions inherit the right guardrails and telemetry.
Champion a
“Platform as Product” mindset
, where developers and solution teams are treated as customers of the platform.
Architect and operationalize the
AI infrastructure plumbing
(GPU-enabled compute, model training clusters, orchestration pipelines, observability).
Partner with Data Engineering and Analytics teams to define
data ingestion, transformation, and governance frameworks
for scalable analytics and AI readiness.
Oversee database and storage strategy including
Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, and Lakehouse (Databricks)
architectures, ensuring backup, recovery, and tiering policies are enforced.
Transform traditional ticket-driven operations into a
frictionless self-service developer experience
via the Developer Portal.
Create
golden paths
and
IaC-driven app environments
that enable developers to deploy faster while maintaining platform consistency.
Integrate
Terraform and Ansible
for full lifecycle automation, including provisioning, configuration, rollback, and patching.
Implement Day-2 automation for scaling, drift correction, compliance enforcement, and healing.
Measure and continuously improve developer productivity, deployment velocity, MTTR, and satisfaction.
Own the
financial stewardship of Azure and SaaS subscriptions
, including budgeting, forecasting, cost optimization, and chargeback/showback models.
Oversee
Microsoft and Azure licensing
(EA renewals, product licensing, consumption commitments) and vendor relationships.
Collaborate with Finance and Procurement to align innovation with fiscal responsibility, optimize cost per workload, and ensure audit compliance.
Embed
SLO/SLI-driven reliability
principles across all platform components.
Implement
policy-as-code, compliance automation, and immutable pipelines
to ensure deployment consistency.
Integrate
AI Ops
and event-driven automation for proactive issue detection and remediation.
Drive platform observability and resilience via Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights.
Ensure recovery architectures, multi-region failover testing, and continuous DR validation are part of standard operating rhythm.
Lead and mentor multi-disciplinary teams across
Platform, Solution, Data, and Automation Engineering
disciplines.
Instill a
product mindset
across engineering teams — delivering internal platforms and solutions as products with measurable value and feedback loops.
Partner with Security, Architecture, and Data leadership to align cloud strategies with enterprise objectives.
Communicate platform impact, innovation roadmap, and financial performance to executive leadership.
Foster a
culture of automation, reliability, and continuous improvement
across all layers of the cloud ecosystem.
10+ years in software/platform/solution engineering, with 5+ years in senior leadership.
Deep expertise in
Azure Cloud architecture
, governance, and landing zones.
Proven experience building and scaling
Internal Developer Platforms / Developer Portals
.
Strong hands-on proficiency in
Terraform
,
Ansible
,
Azure DevOps
, and
CI/CD automation

Experience implementing
Immutable Infrastructure
patterns at enterprise scale.
Understanding of
AI/ML infrastructure
, data pipelines, and analytics platforms (Databricks, Synapse, CosmosDB).
