• Guide secure delivery and global expansion of DGX Cloud into international markets with sovereign data requirements and national security constraints.
• Engage with public sector customers, regulatory agencies, and strategic partners to ensure solutions meet jurisdictional and operational requirements.
• Enable customers and partners to achieve compliance and successfully operate in regulated environments.
• Lead full software and system lifecycle efforts: ideation, design, development, ATO (Authority to Operate), and active operations; drive readiness, controls, monitoring, and continuous improvement of regulated cloud offerings.

• Ability to synthesize regulatory needs into architecture and design and guide cross-functional execution.
• Strong collaboration, influence, and communication skills for working with engineering teams and high-security government partners.

Preferred / Ways to Stand Out

• History of engineering enablement: creating scalable processes and extensible systems that make compliance and security foundational across hardware, infrastructure/IaaS, platforms, and applications.
• Direct experience designing, developing, delivering, and operating secure cloud products in regulated international markets (EU, Asia-Pacific, national/isolated clouds).
• Familiarity with public sector operational models (ATO), mission workloads, and evolving public institution security postures.
