• Drive execution of at least one major product area. Depending on the size and scope this could be a family of products
• Closely collaborate with other leadership, product management, and internal customers across Equinix on requirements and schedule
• Help directors and other managers staff projects with the right engineers
• Build an R&D culture, bootstrapping new solutions or dependencies as needed
• Foster an efficient build-it-and-run-it culture, blurring the lines between operations and development, reducing friction to fixing things that are broken

  • You have strong opinions about the direction of cloud infrastructure, but you hold them loosely and enjoy working with others to achieve the best outcomes
