The AiDP Data Services SRE organization builds engine-agnostic platform capabilities — provisioning, backup/restore, observability, and self-service — spanning PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, Couchbase, OpenSearch, MongoDB, Oracle, and Apache Doris. As the leader of this organization, you will set technical direction and organizational strategy for engine-agnostic data migration tooling across hybrid-cloud environments, ensuring minimal downtime, guaranteed data integrity, and adherence to local data residency. This role requires exceptional cross-functional leadership, executive-level communication, deep partnership with Core Storage and Analytics leadership, and the ability to build, mentor, and scale a distributed organization of managers and senior engineers.
