HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT:
Varsity Brands is seeking a transformational technology leader to lead the modernization of the company's Cloud Engineering, Platform Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, Network Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and Enterprise Infrastructure Operations.
Reporting to the Chief Technology & Product Officer, the VP, Infrastructure & Cloud Engineering will define and execute the enterprise infrastructure strategy while ensuring the reliability, security, scalability, and operational excellence of mission-critical technology platforms.
The VP, Infrastructure & Cloud Engineering will lead Varsity Brands' multi-year transformation from traditional on-premises infrastructure to a modern AWS-based cloud platform while maintaining highly available enterprise systems throughout the transition.
