As Director of Cloud Infrastructure & Dev Ops, you will lead a team of approximately 15 engineers and serve as the technical and organizational leader for one of the most critical functions in the company. This is not a hands‑off management role. We expect this person to be our most experienced cloud and Dev Ops practitioner. Someone who can operate at both the strategic and tactical level, who has built and run cloud infrastructure organisations, and who still gets into the details when it matters.

You should be as comfortable reviewing IaC templates and debugging networking issues as you are setting team strategy and presenting to senior leadership. Strong opinions grounded in deep, hands‑on experience are essential.

• AWS Infrastructure & Architecture
  :
  Full ownership of our AWS environment including account strategy, compute, storage, and security baseline. This role requires extensive AWS networking expertise; you will own the design and operation of our network architecture including VPCs, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, Private Link, Route 53, load balancing (ALB/NLB), Network Firewall, and hybrid connectivity patterns.

Developer experience is a first‑class concern for this role; you will be responsible for reducing friction, improving developer productivity, and ensuring that our platform empowers engineers rather than slowing them down.

• Team Leadership
  :
  Hiring, developing, and retaining a high‑performing team. You will set the technical bar, coach your engineers, and create an environment where people do their best work.

• Multi‑Cloud Strategy
  :
  While AWS is our primary cloud provider globally and in China, we are actively evaluating additional cloud providers both in and outside of China to support new AI model advancements and evolving business needs. You will own our multi‑cloud approach: defining the strategy, evaluating providers, and ensuring our infrastructure can operate across cloud environments without compromising reliability, security or operational consistency.

• AI Infrastructure (Collaboration):
  You will collaborate closely with our ML Operations team to enable cutting‑edge AI infrastructure for our…
