About Jared Oberhaus

I take on impossible challenges. I’ve built and led projects at the intersection of technology, infrastructure, and global complexity.At Google, I built and lead the China Infrastructure team, stabilizing production serving and corporate networks through a mix of technical, regulatory, and organizational challenges. My team’s scope spans the full range of networking infrastructure and software applications, ensuring stability in one of the most complex operating environments in the world.Earlier in my career, I helped pioneer the mobile internet as an early engineer at Phone.com, developed datacenter virtualization at Scalent before it became mainstream, migrated Skybox’s satellite telemetry and control stack into Google’s infrastructure, and contributed to bold moonshots like Google Glass. Across each chapter, the constant has been turning chaos into predictable, reliable systems.
