Agent Ops, Technical Product Management (Forward Deployed Engineer)
Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) builds the products that power infrastructure, solutions, and data management our customers need most. Our teams design and develop the hardware and software that connect infrastructure, accelerate computational workloads, integrate across the stack, protect data continuity, and deliver the platforms, applications, and diagnostics our customers rely on every day at enterprise scale.
Some product builders follow the rules. Ours rewrite them.
Within ISG, innovation isn't just about creating new technology- it's about challenging assumptions and reimagining how work gets done. Engineers define intent, author precise specifications, and orchestrate AI agents that execute at speed and scale. AI is embedded throughout our development process, helping us move faster, learn quicker, and deliver greater impact. Yet the most important contribution remains uniquely human: deciding what to build, designing how it should work, and applying the judgment needed to earn our customers' trust. When your products power critical infrastructure around the world, that responsibility matters.
We move quickly toward the work that matters most. We reward experimentation, encourage bold thinking, and remove unnecessary barriers so great ideas can become reality faster. Our teams embrace a customer-first, first-to-market mindset, transforming rapid feedback into better products and better outcomes. We aren't looking for people who are content with the status quo- we look for builders who question it, improve it, and occasionally rewrite it.
If you're energized by solving complex systems challenges, excited to work alongside AI to amplify your impact, and motivated by the opportunity to shape what's next instead of simply maintaining what's been done before, you'll find your place here.

- 7 or more years of experience in technical operations, IT management, or infrastructure leadership
- Proven ability to manage cross-functional technical teams and vendor relationships
- Experience owning operational budgets, cost optimization, and capital planning

Tips for Your Director of Technical Operations Job Search
Align your resume to P&L ownership
Director of technical operations roles expect budget accountability. Reframe your experience around cost reduction, vendor contract outcomes, and capital expenditure decisions rather than listing technologies managed, so hiring managers can immediately see executive-level impact.
Highlight cross-functional leadership explicitly
Many applicants describe technical depth but skip the operational scope. Call out the number of teams, disciplines, or business units you coordinated, since directors of technical operations are evaluated heavily on their ability to unify engineering, IT, and product delivery functions.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists director of technical operations openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings by operational maturity stage
A startup hiring a director of technical operations wants someone who builds processes from scratch, while an enterprise wants a steady operator. Read each job description for language like 'scale', 'build', or 'optimize' to quickly signal which stage the company is in before you apply.
Prepare a system reliability narrative for interviews
Interviewers for technical operations director roles consistently probe uptime ownership and incident response. Prepare a specific example covering a service failure, what you led to resolve it, and the process change you implemented afterward so the same failure couldn't recur.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
At the director level, what you control matters as much as what you earn. During offer conversations, clarify reporting structure, headcount authority, and capital approval limits, since those boundaries define whether you can actually deliver on what the role requires.
Director of Technical Operations Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most director of technical operationss?
Amazon, ESPN, and TD are hiring the most director of technical operationss right now, with openings concentrated in Texas, Washington, and California, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is strongest in companies undergoing infrastructure modernization or scaling their cloud operations.
How many director of technical operations jobs are remote?
About 71% of director of technical operations openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with the highest remote share in platform reliability, cloud infrastructure, and IT service management specializations. Roles tied to on-premises hardware or physical operations centers are more likely to require on-site presence at least part of the week.
How do you become a director of technical operations?
Most directors of technical operations move up from senior engineering, IT management, or platform operations roles where they already owned incident response or vendor management. Building experience with budget ownership, cross-team coordination, and process design accelerates the path. Certifications in ITIL, cloud architecture, or project management can strengthen your case when competing against candidates with longer tenures.
Can you get a director of technical operations job without direct director-level experience?
Yes, especially at smaller companies or startups where the role is being created for the first time. Candidates who have led technical teams through a growth phase, owned operational metrics, and managed external vendors often move directly into director titles without a prior director credit on their resume. Framing your senior manager or principal engineer experience around organizational outcomes rather than technical tasks is what makes that transition credible to hiring managers.
What does the director of technical operations interview process look like?
The process typically runs three to five rounds and includes an initial recruiter screen, a hiring manager conversation focused on leadership style and operational philosophy, and a panel interview with peer directors or department heads. Many companies add a case study or scenario exercise where you diagnose a fictional operational failure or design a team structure. Final rounds often involve a conversation with a VP or C-suite stakeholder.
