We are looking for someone senior enough to set a 12–24 month architecture direction and hands-on enough to be in the middle of all major IT decisions such as storage scaling, COLO expansion, uptime while managing all vendor negotiation. The ideal candidate will be productive on day one, at cohort scale. Additionally they will:
- Ensure Compute and storage capacity is planned ahead of demand rather than in reaction to it; queue wait times and storage performance are measured and trending the right way.
- A new software engineer starts with repo access, a working build environment, and compute quota provisioned before they log in.
- IAM, endpoint, and access controls are in place and documented well enough to pass a customer security audit.
- A disaster-recovery plan exists for every system a tape-out depends on, and it has been tested.
