  • Expertise in managing and migrating critical applications across diverse cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, Oracle), ensuring high availability and compliance.
  • Proven track record of achieving aggressive security and quality certifications (e.g., SOC2 Type 2, ISO 27001) and maintaining exceptional system uptime (e.g., 99.99%).
  • Experience driving complex, concurrent enterprise initiatives, such as ERP implementations and warehouse automation projects, to 100% on-time and on-budget delivery.
This pivotal role requires a technically deep, results-oriented leader to guide the platform engineering organization through a period of critical growth and comprehensive digital transformation.
