Collaborate with passionate developers and engineers to solve unique technical challenges while enjoying growth opportunities in a collaborative culture.

Role and Responsibilities:

·      Architectural Design & Strategy: Co-architect scalable, fault-tolerant, and self-healing systems; design cloud-native solutions (microservices, serverless); modernize systems; and align technical designs with business goals.

·      System Analysis & Optimization: Identify gaps, optimize for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency; align technical initiatives with budgets.

·      Collaboration & Leadership: Mentor teams on best practices, consult on component building, and collaborate with non-engineering teams (product, privacy, governance).

·      Technology Evaluation & Governance: Research and evaluate technologies; ensure security/compliance via cloud practices (IAM, encryption).

·      Incident Management & Reliability: Enhance observability tools, lead post-incident initiatives, and align SLOs with technical constraints.

·      Documentation & Standards: Maintain architecture documentation and serve as a subject matter expert for infrastructure challenges.

·      Global Collaboration: Contribute to global SRE practices and Engineering Platform Teams.

You’ll act as a technical visionary, driving innovation in:

·      Failure Tolerance & Resilience: Architect systems that anticipate and recover from failures autonomously.

·      Cost-Efficient Scalability: Optimize systems through architecture and strategic planning.

·      Cross-Functional Leadership: Mentor teams on best practices while translating complex technical details into actionable strategies for stakeholders.

Technologies in use:

·      Cloud platforms: AWS (primary), GCP, Azure

·      DevOps tools: Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD pipelines

·      Observability: Monitoring, SLOs, error budgets

·      Security: IAM, encryption, GDPR compliance
