Role Organization

Role Title: Director of Engineering, Infrastructure

Team: Engineering

Reporting to: SVP, Engineering

Company Overview

At NetCov, we specialize in delivering cutting-edge IT and cybersecurity solutions designed to protect and optimize the digital infrastructure for the industries we serve. We differentiate ourselves from our competition through our deep and intimate knowledge of our customers’ business.

About the Role

The Director of Infrastructure leads a specialized engineering delivery function overseeing infrastructure, cloud, and network teams and projects across complex client environments. This role is responsible for guiding technical delivery across infrastructure, cloud, and network initiatives, supporting regulated industry architecture, and managing execution through a team of Managers, Team Leads, and Engineers. The position partners closely with the PMO, GRC, and Technology organizations, while owning the engineering-side execution of regulated and compliance-driven initiatives. The Director of Infrastructure is accountable for delivery quality, architectural alignment, and execution predictability across infrastructure, cloud, and network engagements. While primarily a leadership role, this position requires sufficient technical depth to guide architecture decisions and, when necessary, step in to support delivery execution.
