This role serves as the senior authority for hybrid infrastructure engineering, responsible for reliability, scale, cost discipline, and service maturity across on‑prem and cloud platforms through standardized architectures, automation, and operational rigor. The Director leads cross‑functional engineering teams spanning data center platforms, cloud services, and observability, with accountability for closing ownership gaps, rebuilding leadership bench depth, and delivering infrastructure capabilities that combine cloud agility with on‑prem reliability, latency, and scale requirements.

Responsibilities:

• Drive data center consolidation and modernization while scaling cloud platforms in support of Micron's strategic intiatives

• Lead service engineering and platformization efforts, including private cloud, shared infrastructure services, and standardized operating models

• Own infrastructure reliability, resilience, and capacity engineering across hybrid environments supporting always‑on manufacturing operations

• Establish infrastructure cost management and transparency through FinOps practices, resource management, and consumption accountability

• Build and operate a unified observability strategy providing end-to-end awareness of service health, performance, and risk

• Accelerate automation and self‑service enablement to reduce manual operations and improve speed, quality, and consistency of delivery

• Develop leadership bench strength and a sustainable succession pipeline within infrastructure engineering domains

• Scope and Impact - Unified ownership of data center engineering, cloud engineering/operations, and observability. Accountability for hybrid infrastructure platforms supporting global manufacturing, enterprise, and AI workloads. Leadership of a geographically distributed organization. Direct impact on infrastructure reliability, manufacturing uptime, cost optimization, and engineering velocity

• Key Outcomes - Clear end‑to‑end ownership of hybrid infrastructure with reduced decision latency and execution gaps. Modernized data center and cloud platforms aligned to future AI and manufacturing scale requirements. Improved service reliability, faster incident resolution, and stronger operational predictability. Stronger leadership bench with clear growth paths for managers and senior engineers.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 10+ years of experience in enterprise infrastructure engineering, data center operations, or cloud platforms

• 5+ years leading large, multi‑disciplinary engineering or operations organizations

• Strong background in on‑prem infrastructure (compute, storage, networking, platforms) and public cloud environments

• Demonstrated ownership of high‑availability, mission‑critical services in 24x7 environments

• Experience driving infrastructure modernization, consolidation, or large‑scale transformation initiatives

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting AI, HPC, or high‑density compute environments

• Familiarity with FinOps, cost governance, and infrastructure financial transparency

• Strong understanding of observability, reliability engineering, and automation practices

• Proven ability to rebuild teams, develop leaders, and establish succession plans

• Executive‑level communication skills and comfort operating with senior business and IT leadership
