Your mission

As Matrix42 accelerates its AI and cloud transformation, the VP Cloud is responsible for defining and operating the cloud platform strategy that enables scalable, secure, resilient, and cost-efficient products across the M42 Core, Pro, and Enterprise platforms.

Reporting to the CTO, the VP Cloud serves as the senior technology leader for cloud architecture, cloud operations, platform reliability, infrastructure modernization, and cloud financial discipline.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
