Director, Hosting Infrastructure & Data Platforms

Overview

In this role you will architect the future state of Burlington's hosting and data platforms, through modernization of our platforms to become a high performing, scalable, and reliable team. This will include advanced cloud integration and collaboration with architecture, security, and app teams to deliver future-ready platforms. You will also build systems with continuity, observability, and DR/BCP design principles at the core. Lastly, you will uphold the core values of Burlington and lead and grow top engineering talent through developing a high-performing team focused on solution engineering and innovation. 

 

This role is centered on building scalable, resilient, and secure systems—not on daily operations. You will drive platform transformation across on-prem, co-location, and cloud environments (primarily Azure), enabling performance, observability, and continuity by design. You will lead a highly skilled team of engineers and partner closely with enterprise architecture, security, and application stakeholders to align technical solutions with long-term business strategy.
