Job Description

Vice President, Data Cloud

DigitalOcean

Role Description We are building an AI-native Data Cloud and need a VP of Engineering who owns architecture, execution, and business outcomes end-to-end. The buck stops with this role for platform reliability, developer experience, and Data Cloud adoption. DigitalOcean’s Data Cloud will power AI applications end-to-end—from data ingestion to real-time inference—enabling developers to build production-grade RAG systems, AI agents, and analytics workflows on a single, integrated platform. This role is responsible for delivering that platform by leveraging and extending DigitalOcean’s existing infrastructure, PaaS, and AI capabilities. This is not a traditional data platform role. You will define and execute the strategy to move DigitalOcean up the stack—from infrastructure provider to a differentiated AI application and inference platform. Success will be measured through roadmap velocity, system reliability, developer adoption, and measurable business impact. We are looking for a leader who translates strategy into shipped systems, with clear accountability for outcomes. What You’ll Do: - Data Cloud Platform - Architecture and delivery of a unified platform spanning: - Ingestion (connectors, CDC, streaming) - Storage (object, OLAP, vector, graph) - Processing (ELT pipelines, real-time and batch) - Query & analytics (SQL, hybrid search, RAG) - Governance (catalog, lineage, versioning, access control) - AI-Native Capabilities - Knowledgebase-as-a-Service (RAG pipelines) - Vector and hybrid retrieval systems - Feature and embedding pipelines - Real-time inference data paths - Product & Execution - Deliver GA-grade services with strong SLAs, cost efficiency, and simplicity - Drive roadmap aligned to Digital Native Enterprise (DNE) customers - Establish and manage clear metrics: adoption, retention, ARPU, performance, reliability - Organizational Leadership - Build and scale a high-performing global organization (US and India) - Implement single-threaded ownership (STO) across services - Partner deeply with Product, GTM, and Platform Engineering What Success Looks Like (12 months) - Launch a cohesive Data Cloud platform—not a collection of fragmented services - Achieve meaningful adoption across AI-native workloads (RAG, inference, analytics) - Reduce developer time-to-value from weeks to hours - Establish clear differentiation versus hyperscalers on simplicity and cost Qualifications - Proven track record of building and operating cloud-scale data platforms (OLAP, lakehouse, streaming, or ML systems), with strong architectural judgment across storage, processing, and query layers - Experience integrating open-source ecosystems (e.g., Spark, Airflow, dbt) into managed cloud services at scale - Experience with AI/ML data pipelines (feature stores, embeddings, RAG) - Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguity, make high-quality decisions with incomplete data, and drive multi-quarter execution with measurable outcomes - Proven experience scaling engineering organizations and delivering under real-world constraints - Critical requirement: You have personally driven complex distributed systems from concept to production—not just managed teams that did. Benefits - We innovate with purpose. - We prioritize career development. - We care about your well-being. - We reward our employees. Compensation Range $279,200.00 - $349,000 *This is a remote role JR: 2026-7683 #LI-Remote Company Description DigitalOcean is an equal-opportunity employer.
