The role requires strong cross-functional partnership with Infrastructure, Engineering, Design, Construction, Capacity Planning, Procurement, Networking, Product, and executive leadership to ensure data center operations are aligned with business growth, customer commitments, and long-term scalability. As DigitalOcean continues to invest heavily in physical infrastructure and AI/GPU capacity, this leader will play a critical role in preparing on-site operations for higher-density environments, liquid-cooled infrastructure, accelerated deployments, and increasingly demanding customer SLAs.
