• Oversee technical excellence, reliability, and scalability of internal software platforms and services.
  
  
• Help decompose large monolithic applications into smaller, manageable services leveraging containerization, serverless architecture, and cloud-native patterns
• Develop and maintain platforms for other engineers, focusing on developer experience and documentation.
  
  
• Lead cross-functional technical initiatives and influence strategic decision-making at the company level
• Collaborate with product and platform teams to define architecture standards and platform strategy across domains
• Champion secure-by-design and compliance-conscious engineering practices in DevOps and deployment workflows
• Mentor engineers across disciplines on software and platform architecture best practices

We think this role is for you if have...

• 12+ years of experience in software and infrastructure engineering with at least 3 years in architect level roles making strategic technical decisions at scale.
  
  
• Expert-level knowledge of API architecture including gateway technologies, versioning strategies, authentication/authorization patterns, and API governance at scale
• Mastery of SQL database architectures, data modeling, indexing, and query optimization
• Strong programming background with experience in multiple languages (i.e. Ruby, Python, Go, JavaScript)
• Proven experience with distributed systems, microservices, and event-driven architectures
• Proven experience designing and operating production systems in cloud platforms (i.e. AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Experience with Kubernetes, containerization, and serverless technologies
• Deep proficiency in DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code (i.e. Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Strong understanding of monitoring, alerting, and performance analysis (i.e. Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog)
• Demonstrated ability to make and defend architectural decisions with clear reasoning tied to business outcomes, not just technical elegance
• Track record of building platforms that other engineers consume with focus on developer experience, documentation, and reducing friction for internal customers
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent work experience

What will help you succeed???

• Strong systems thinking and ability to balance long-term architecture with immediate priorities
• Passion for automation, operational excellence, and enabling fast delivery without sacrificing stability
• Ability to influence and align cross-functional stakeholders with varying technical depth
• Exceptional communication and technical storytelling to drive architectural decisions
