Head of Core Infrastructure Platforms (CIP), Pune
Senior Vice President
Pune, India
The Global Infrastructure organization builds and maintains the critical technology backbone that enables Jefferies to operate at scale, delivering secure, resilient, and high-performing IT services that power the business. We drive innovation through solutions such as cloud and hybrid adoption, network resiliency, platform modernization, and automation. The organization is structured into several specialized sub-domains: Core Infrastructure Platform, Public Cloud, Digital Workspace, Networking, Telecom & Multimedia, and International Infrastructure. Our teams collaborate globally to ensure Jefferies’ technology platforms are highly available, secure, scalable, and cost-effective.
The Core Infrastructure Platforms function lays the foundation for Jefferies’ IT, designing, operating, and optimizing the essential compute, storage, operating systems, and database platforms that support all business-critical applications. Our mission is to deliver secure, resilient, and high-performance datacenter and cloud solutions for global operations.
Organized into four teams, Global Systems Engineering, Unix Engineering, Windows Engineering, and Database Engineering, this group drives operational excellence, security, high availability, compliance, and continuous improvement across our technology estate.
By championing automation, standardization, and proactive monitoring, and by working closely with application, security, and business teams, we ensure our environments are robust, stable, and scalable. Through this collaborative approach and a relentless focus on modernization, Jefferies’ infrastructure remains agile and adaptable, ready to meet the evolving needs of our global business.
Jefferies is seeking a dynamic, hands-on, and strategic Senior Vice President (SVP), Head of Core Infrastructure Platforms (Pune). This executive technical leader will lead automation, operations, and modernization of Jefferies’ platform stack, with a focus on critical platform domains: databases, virtualization, storage, backup, compute, and Unix/Windows server infrastructure. Based in Pune, India, the SVP will lead the Pune CIP team and be accountable for technical excellence, operational resilience, and end-to-end Pune led delivery supporting the US, EMEA and APAC estate. This role reports to the Head of GCC, Pune (primary) and the Global Head of Core Infrastructure Platforms, Jersey City (secondary).
This is not a pure management or “middle-layer” role. The ideal candidate is a hands-on domain expert who remains technically current, acts as a trusted escalation point and decision-maker, and independently resolves complex infrastructure and operational challenges rather than simply escalating them.
Success in this role comes from earning the trust of engineers and global business stakeholders through demonstrated technical mastery, incident command, and the delivery of solutions that enable strategic business outcomes. The position requires deep technical expertise paired with proven people leadership to build, mentor, and scale high-performing teams supporting 24/7 capital markets operations.
The SVP delivers a world-class platform that serves as a resilient, secure, continuously modernizing backbone for all Jefferies business applications, across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. You lead actively, commanding incidents, delivering solutions, and growing your team’s technical and operational capability. You are trusted by engineers as a technical authority, by CIO/BU leaders as a business partner, and by the enterprise as the leader who enables robust, scalable solutions tightly aligned with the business's needs.
