        • A degree in computer science or a related technical discipline is preferred; alternatively, candidates may demonstrate technical depth through a record of leading and delivering complex technical programs.
        • Exposure to high-performance computing environments and data centers, experience with coding, and knowledge of multi-node architecture are beneficial.
        • Excellent collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively work with various stakeholders and navigate large ambiguous projects.
        • Comfort discussing technical concepts with developers, along with a proactive approach, a passion for improving user experience, and a demonstrated interest in workflow optimization.
        • The expected annual base salary for this position is $225,000 to $325,000. Our compensation and benefits package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, and benefits including medical and prescription drug coverage, 401(k) contribution matching, wellness reimbursement, family building benefits, and a charitable gift match program.
