VP of Cloud Platform

Required VP of Cloud Platform
What will you do:
As the VP of Cloud Platform , you will lead the global organization responsible for the backbone of our technology.
This is a unique opportunity for a seasoned tech leader to drive global multi-Cloud scale and foster local engineering culture. The perfect candidate is an ambitious and accomplished leader who wants to drive company-wide changes and positive momentum. You are not just managing infrastructure; you are building a Managed Platform that serves as a high-performance product for hundreds of engineers. You will bridge the gap between deep technical systems, such as multi-cloud landing zones and Kubernetes orchestration, and strategic business functions including FinOps, vendor management, and organizational governance.
You will succeed by fostering a Developer Experience (DevEx) first culture, enabling global developer-velocity, accelerating GenAI for developers, and ensuring that as Teads scales, our infrastructure acts as a catalyst for velocity rather than a bottleneck.
Key Responsibilities:
Technical Leadership & Strategy: Define the long-term roadmap for a global, distributed infrastructure supporting hundreds of microservices and millions of requests per second. Champion a multi-cloud strategy that balances resilience, latency, and performance.
Ownership: Reporting directly to the CTO, manage a team of ~50 Cloud and DevOps engineers spread across Israel, France, Slovenia and other international locations.
Managed Platform & DevEx: Shift the infrastructure paradigm from "ticket-based" to "self-service." Own the Internal Developer Platform (IDP), providing automated toolsets that allow engineers to define, deploy, and monitor services autonomously.
Multi-Cloud Landing Zone & Governance: Oversee the architecture and sustainability of Teads public and private cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure). Establish robust governance frameworks that ensure security and compliance without sacrificing developer agility.
FinOps & Budgeting: Manage a multi-million dollar cloud budget. Drive a culture of cost-efficiency by implementing advanced FinOps practices, automated rightsizing, and workload-aware scheduling to maximize ROI.
Vendor Management: Act as the primary stakeholder for strategic partnerships with cloud providers and SaaS vendors. Lead high-stakes negotiations to ensure the tech stack remains cost-effective and cutting-edge, while building strong long-term partnerships with AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Operational Excellence: Establish frameworks for proactive monitoring, observability, and incident response. Guarantee 99.99% availability for a platform operating under sub-150ms latency constraints.
Team Growth & Culture: Lead, mentor, and scale a world-class organization of Software and Cloud Engineers. Foster a culture that is IaaC-driven, data-informed, and "AI-first.
