The Company is seeking a senior leader to set the strategy and oversee engineering, operations, and reliability for enterprise application infrastructure and database platforms across on-premises, private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid environments. Responsibilities include establishing platform standards and governance, leading modernization and automation, and ensuring services are secure, scalable, resilient, and reliable. The role will direct incident management, disaster recovery, service-level measurement, and continuous improvement while partnering across technology, security, risk, data, and business teams. It will also lead multidisciplinary engineering, database, operations, and reliability teams and communicate platform performance, risks, and priorities to senior stakeholders. Candidates should have 12–15 or more years of experience in infrastructure, platform engineering, database services, IT operations, or site reliability engineering, including at least five years in senior leadership roles. They need deep knowledge of enterprise middleware and database platforms, hybrid cloud environments, high availability, backup and recovery, disaster recovery, performance management, and lifecycle operations. Experience building service-oriented platform organizations, advancing automation and infrastructure as code, and managing security, access controls, vulnerabilities, audits, and compliance in regulated environments is required. Strong executive communication, cross-functional leadership, and stakeholder influence are essential; experience in financial services or large-scale cloud modernization is an advantage.
