  • Participate in the management on-call rotation and lead after-hours incident response for facility and hardware events.
  • Own incident, problem, and change management for facility and hardware events, and drive major incidents through post-incident review to completed corrective actions.
  • Provide project management and oversight for hardware deployments, technology rollouts, facility buildouts, and site migrations or consolidations.
  • Monitor capacity across our global data centers and colos (power, space, cooling, network) and give engineering and platform teams a forward view of runway.
  • Partner with director-level stakeholders and other departments to align goals and integrate tools, systems, and projects.
  • Manage colocation, carrier, remote-hands, and logistics vendors to deliver regionalized services under contracts that are cost-conscious and beneficial to end users.
  • Drive continuous improvement in operational processes, tooling, and automation, with a focus on autonomy and scalability.
  • Maintain compliance with security, safety, and audit requirements for physical infrastructure.
  • Champion best practices, coach and mentor team members, and foster technical excellence.

What We're Looking For:

  • 5-8 years of data center or enterprise infrastructure operations experience, including at least 2 years in a management role.
  • Experience leading a 24x7 operations team, including shift coverage and escalation.
  • Working knowledge of data center hardware, power, cooling, cabling, and networking.
  • Experience with alerting, monitoring, and incident management in a production environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead projects and rollouts from planning through delivery.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including with director-level and cross-departmental audiences.
  • Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or equivalent degree
  • Ability to work onsite at the Reston, Virginia data center, with work-from-home flexibility.
  • Availability for on-call rotation and after-hours incident response.
  • Occasional travel may be required based on project needs.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience negotiating and managing vendor and contractor relationships, particularly with telecoms and colocation providers.
  • Experience with hybrid (on-premises and cloud) infrastructure environments.
  • Experience with colocation lifecycle activities: selection, buildout, renewal, migration, and decommission.
  • Experience operating across multiple regions with remote-hands and international hardware logistics.
  • Experience with high-density or GPU compute environments.
  • Scripting or automation skills used to improve operational tooling and reporting.
  • Experience managing assets and capacity with ITSM and DCIM tooling.
