• Lead engineers to drive software design and improve our system architecture, making sure components are built in a way that is conducive for rapid development and deployment onto our platform.

• Determine, align, and staff projects with the right engineers.

• Engage the global Equinix community internally and externally. Much of the work of the team will be freely available to the world through open-source.

• You're an expert in some programming language. You need to be able to motivate engineers who are building production software

• You have opinions about the technical details and can lead by example to foster strong organizational leadership

• You have a broad background in writing software and operating production systems at scale in various contexts and have some specialties in modern cloud infrastructure and systems
