You'll work at the intersection of platform infrastructure and applied AI, delivering developer-facing tools that make building and scaling intelligent applications simple and accessible on DigitalOcean.

This role is perfect for a hands-on technical leader who understands both the potential and the practicalities of applying AI in a developer-first environment. You'll shape the engineering roadmap, hire and mentor a strong team, and work closely with product and data teams to define what AI at DigitalOcean should look like.

  • Collaborate with product managers, data scientists, and design to translate AI ideas into production-ready features.
  • Ensure high standards of security, performance, and reliability in AI systems.
  • Stay on top of trends in the AI / ML space to identify emerging opportunities that align with customer needs.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, technical excellence, and curiosity within the team.

What We\'ll Expect From You

  • 12+ years of experience in software engineering, including 5+ years in technical leadership roles.
  • Deep experience delivering AI / ML-enabled products or developer tools at scale.
  • Strong technical expertise in machine learning systems, infrastructure, and cloud-native architecture.
  • Ability to connect the dots between customer needs, AI opportunities, and product capabilities.
  • Effective communicator who can operate across engineering, data, and product functions.
  • Experience mentoring and scaling inclusive, high-performing teams.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field.

  • We prioritize career development. At DO, you'll do the best work of your career. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry. We are a high-performance organization that will always challenge you to think big. Our organizational development team will provide you with resources to ensure you keep growing.
