Responsibilities
- Define the long-range technical strategy for operating DGX Cloud clusters across various environments
- Guide the roadmap and execution of critical cross-organizational investments that improve production readiness and operational safety
- Build durable workflows and interfaces across Kubernetes production services and on-prem infrastructure
- Implement production operating approaches that lower manual input and increase consistency and traceability
- Partner closely with platform teams and other Production Engineering leaders to identify and improve operational interfaces
