The Opportunity

\n\n

Every technology company eventually reaches an inflection point.

\n\n

In the early years, success comes from building great technology. Strong engineers create modern architecture, launch products quickly, and establish the foundation for growth.

\n\n

As the business grows, the challenge changes.

\n\n

The question is no longer:

\n\n

\"How do we build it?\"

\n\n

The question becomes:

\n\n

\"How do we scale it, operate it reliably, manage the economics, and build the team responsible for it?\"

\n\n

We are partnering with an innovative, AI-powered SaaS company seeking an experienced engineering leader to own the Azure cloud platform that powers multiple SaaS products and supports the company's next stage of growth.

\n\n

This is not a traditional infrastructure role.

\n\n

This leader will be responsible for the strategy, reliability, economics, and operational excellence of the cloud platform while building and leading the team that supports it.

\n\n

Responsibilities

\n\n

Lead the Azure cloud platform strategy across multiple SaaS product lines.
Own uptime, availability, reliability, and operational excellence.
Partner with engineering leaders to ensure scalable and resilient architectures.
Lead cloud cost management, forecasting, optimization, and investment decisions.
Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing cloud engineering organization.
Design the right balance of full-time talent, specialized roles, and staff augmentation.
Advance Infrastructure as Code, automation, and platform capabilities.
Support modern SaaS architectures as well as legacy Microsoft environments during transition periods.
Create the organizational structure required to support future growth.

\n\n

Qualifications

\n\n

The ideal candidate will bring:

\n\n

15+ years of experience in cloud engineering, architecture, or related technical leadership roles.
Deep expertise with Microsoft Azure.
Leadership experience within commercial SaaS organizations.
Experience owning uptime, reliability, and operational performance.
Strong background in Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD environments.
Experience managing cloud spend, budgeting, forecasting, and cost optimization.
Proven success building and leading engineering teams.
The ability to partner effectively with engineering, finance, and executive leadership.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related technical discipline preferred.

\n\n

Preferred Experience

\n\n

Azure-first cloud environments.
Cloud Platform Engineering, Cloud Operations, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).
Experience supporting multiple SaaS products or business lines.
High-availability production environments with frequent deployments.
Passion for AI and modern software development practices.

\n\n

Compensation

\n\n

Base salary starting around $200,000+
Annual bonus opportunity
Executive compensation package commensurate with experience

\n\n

Location

\n\n

Remote within the United States.

\n\n

Eastern and Central time zones strongly preferred.

\n\n

About the Right Person

\n\n

The successful candidate will be more than a cloud expert.

\n\n

They will be a leader who understands that scaling technology requires scaling people, processes, and operational discipline alongside it.

\n\n

If you have built Azure SaaS platforms, led teams through growth, and enjoy solving both technical and organizational challenges, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
