This role is pivotal in building and scaling products that enable developers to run, scale, and operate agents in the cloud, shaping a new product category within DigitalOcean.
Responsibilities
- Define and execute the technical roadmap, owning the multi-year engineering strategy for Agentic AI infrastructure services.
- Lead the architecture and delivery of core agentic infrastructure capabilities, including Open Harness Runtime, Action Toolbox, and Coding Execution Runtime.
- Set the long-term architecture for scalable, resilient, secure, and cost-efficient services under large-scale agent deployment.
- Partner with product and GTM teams to launch new SKUs and services purpose-built for agentic workloads.
- Drive engineering initiatives to improve infrastructure utilization, reclaim margin, reduce waste, and prevent unnecessary CapEx growth.
- Guide the planning and execution of new compute products and SKUs, including ARM and specialized compute shapes.
- Lead, mentor, and scale a geographically distributed engineering team, fostering a culture that balances innovation with operational rigor.
Requirements
- Extensive experience building and operating cloud infrastructure, virtualization platforms, distributed compute systems, runtime environments, or developer infrastructure at scale.
- Strong understanding of the infrastructure needs of agentic systems, including sandboxed execution, MicroVMs, long-running workloads, tool execution, state management, coding agents, and high-performance runtimes.
- Proven ability to translate business goals into technical strategy, architecture, and execution.
- Experience operating production systems with high reliability requirements, clear ownership models, measurable SLOs, incident discipline, and continuous improvement loops.
- Experience leading large, distributed engineering teams through technical and organizational change.
