  • Providing daily status updates for assigned workstreams, including progress, risks, blockers, vendor issues, and recommended mitigation steps
  • Partnering with Data Center Operations, Network Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, Logistics, Facilities, Security, Procurement, and vendors to drive deployment readiness
  • Supporting operational readiness and handoff for newly deployed infrastructure
  • Participating in lessons learned and driving improvements that reduce repeat issues across future deployments
  • Supporting planning and preparation for upcoming deployments during offsite periods
What You'll Add to DigitalOcean
