Why would you love this job?

Engineering Operations is a high-leverage function within the CTO organization. Its purpose is to make Engineering and Cloud Operations execution legible, commitments durable, and leadership time scalable—primarily through clarity, technical depth, and strategic influence.

As Director, Engineering Operations, you will build and evolve the operating system of the CTO organization while steering the AI transformation of our engineering and cloud infrastructure operations. You will work across Engineering, Cloud Ops, and product partners to create confidence in delivery, surface technical risks early, drive modern AI-enabled engineering workflows, and empower leaders to focus on long-term strategy and architectural outcomes.

This is a highly visible role for a deeply technical operator who can move comfortably between software architecture, cloud platforms, AI-driven automation, data, and organizational dynamics. You will succeed not by adding bureaucracy, but by introducing intelligent, modern structures for better architectural decisions, clear ownership, and scalable execution.

What you’ll do

Own the Engineering operating system

Design, run, and continuously improve the CTO organization’s operating cadence, including quarterly business reviews, initiative and program reviews, goal-setting cycles, leadership forums, and internal communications.

Establish lightweight, reusable standards for agendas, pre-reads, synthesis, status, risk and confidence language, ownership, dependencies, decision capture, and follow-through.

Turn fragmented execution signals into concise, decision-ready narratives for the CTO and Engineering leadership.

Ensure forums drive decisions and tradeoffs—not simply status updates.

Create execution visibility and confidence

Make Engineering priorities, commitments, dependencies, and risks visible across the company.

Improve the quality and timeliness of early risk detection and escalation.

Use data and qualitative signals together to distinguish real progress from activity or optimism.

Align priorities, people, and investment

Partner with the CTO, Engineering leaders, Finance, People, Product, and other functions to connect strategy, priorities, capacity, headcount, funding, and operating norms.

Support workforce and headcount planning, financial and investment alignment, and organizational planning with clear analysis and decision materials.

Improve cross-geo and cross-functional operating norms so expectations are explicit rather than assumed.

Provide leverage on strategic and special initiatives

Bring structure to ambiguous, cross-cutting, or high-risk initiatives that do not yet have a natural program home.

Support high-impact company priorities such as major transformations, IPO readiness, M&A diligence, or other initiatives requiring CTO-level coordination.

Know when to stay involved, when to escalate, and when to exit so Engineering Operations does not become a permanent dependency.

Build durable operating muscle

Institutionalize good judgment into reusable systems, templates, and standards.

Use automation, analytics, and AI-assisted workflows thoughtfully to improve signal quality and operating leverage.

Socialize changes effectively and build adoption through clarity, usefulness, and trust—not compliance theater.

Drive AI Transformation in Engineering and Cloud Operations

Architect and execute strategic initiatives that integrate AI technologies into software development lifecycles, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud operations to accelerate innovation and developer efficiency.
