Dive in and do the best work of your career at DigitalOcean. Journey alongside a strong community of top talent who are relentless in their drive to build the simplest scalable cloud. If you have a growth mindset, naturally like to think big and bold, and are energized by the fast-paced environment of a true industry disruptor, you’ll find your place here. We value winning together—while learning, having fun, and making a profound difference for the dreamers and builders in the world.
At DigitalOcean, we believe the cloud should be a springboard, not a barrier.
As we enter the era of Agentic AI, the complexity of infrastructure shouldn't stand in the way of innovation. We are looking for a visionary leader to own the evolution of our core Compute services — turning high-performance virtualization of VMs and microVMs into the "simple" experience our customers love as they get started, and trust as they scale. This is a rare opportunity to define and drive the strategy and long-term execution for a global ecosystem that empowers millions of digital natives to build the future of AI.
The Role: We are looking for a Strategic Technical Leader to define, own, and lead the end-to-end execution AND operational excellence of our next-generation compute services. Reporting to the VP of Core Cloud Compute & Networking, one of your main goals will be enabling Agentic workloads to run at scale by introducing MicroVMs (built on firecracker) and introducing new Compute primitives for Agentic workloads.
