Vantor Innovation, Technology & Agility

What is your role on the IT team, and what are your responsibilities?

I currently lead the infrastructure, operations and engineering organization in Maxar IT. We operate Maxar’s datacenters, network, servers, storage, platforms and more. We also partner closely with our colleagues to build and engineer the critical services that power all of the cool technology Maxar’s mission depends on.

How does Maxar support IT professionals? What opportunities for learning and growth are offered? How does your team effectively work together?

Maxar depends on each of its employees keeping up with the rapidly changing world of technology. In IT, we encourage and support all employees to invest in continuing education, both within their area of core competency as well as in adjacent areas. We want to ensure our skill sets continue to evolve to meet the future needs of the business.

Why might someone want to join Maxar Technologies’ IT team? What routines, traditions and perks does your team offer?

Aside from joining a team that supports flying satellites using some of the coolest, state-of-the-art technology and software, and being at the center of so many important world events, our IT team is made up of some of the best and brightest technologists, all of whom are passionate about supporting the company mission. There is no shortage of fascinating and innovative work to be done, and you’ll have a great deal of independence in being able to work on projects that interest you outside of your core area of expertise.
