- Engage directly with enterprise clients and the field team to resolve compute blockers related to adoption and scale
Requirements
- Experience building and shipping infrastructure or developer platform products including compute, serverless, containers, or runtime platforms
- Technical depth to evaluate concurrency, cold starts, isolation models, and performance tradeoffs
- Background managing a platform area adopted by other product teams to set technical direction
- Experience working with AI or agent workloads and understanding their resource profiles
- Direct experience interacting with enterprise customers regarding infrastructure needs
- Ability to utilize usage and product analytics data to guide roadmap decisions
Qualifications
- Previous employment at a cloud provider or on a serverless, container, or edge compute platform
- Engineering background or hands-on software development experience
