Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Team Lead to lead the newly formed Application Network Services team within WWT's internal IT organization.

• Balance and prioritize team workload across project commitments and operational demands, and communicate status and risk clearly to leadership
• Build depth and cross-coverage across the team so that critical platform knowledge is shared rather than concentrated in individuals
• Champion an automate-first culture, driving adoption of automation and modern AI-assisted tooling to reduce repetitive effort and improve consistency and speed
• Partner with application, infrastructure, security, and cloud engineering teams to deliver secure and scalable application connectivity patterns
• Evaluate emerging application delivery and edge security capabilities and recommend where WWT should adopt them
• Partner with the Manager of Network Services on hiring, staffing, and the continued growth of the team
• Participate in and support an on-call rotation for our application delivery platforms
