Senior Platform Architect

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in cloud-native design patterns, security governance, observability, and cross-functional technical leadership.

Responsibilities:

• Architect end-to-end enterprise applications across frontend, backend, data, and infrastructure layers on AWS, Azure, GCP, or multi-cloud environments.
• Define and enforce platform-level standards for modularity, service decomposition, API contracts, and domain-driven design.
• Design scalable, highly available architectures using microservices, event-driven patterns, serverless, and container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS/EKS, GKE, AKS).
• Establish security governance frameworks including identity and access management (IAM), zero-trust networking, secrets management, encryption at rest and in transit, and compliance posture (SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR).
• Design and implement comprehensive observability strategies covering logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and alerting using tools such as Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, CloudWatch, or OpenTelemetry.
• Define CI/CD architecture and deployment strategies including blue-green, canary, and progressive rollouts across environments.
• Drive cost optimization through resource right-sizing, reserved capacity planning, spot/preemptible instance strategies, and FinOps practices.
• Lead architecture reviews, threat modeling sessions, and design governance forums with engineering and product teams.
• Evaluate and recommend cloud-native managed services, third-party tools, and open-source technologies aligned to enterprise requirements.
• Mentor engineering teams on architectural best practices, cloud design patterns, and platform standards.
• Create and maintain architecture decision records (ADRs), reference architectures, and platform runbooks.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in software engineering or platform engineering with 3–5+ years in an architecture or principal engineer role.
• Deep expertise in at least one major hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, or GCP) with working knowledge of a second.
• Strong full-stack design sensibility spanning frontend frameworks (React, Angular, or Next.js), backend services (Node.js, Java, Python, Go), databases (relational, NoSQL, graph), and messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SNS/SQS).
• Proven track record of designing systems that serve high-throughput, low-latency workloads at enterprise scale.
• Hands-on experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes), service mesh (Istio, Linkerd), and API gateway patterns.
• Strong understanding of security architecture including IAM, OAuth 2.0/OIDC, network segmentation, WAF, and data protection controls.
• Experience with observability and monitoring stacks (OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Grafana/Loki, ELK, or equivalent).
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation) and GitOps workflows.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex architectural decisions for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have:

• Cloud architecture certifications (AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, GCP Professional Cloud Architect).
• Experience designing platforms that support ML/AI workloads, model serving infrastructure, or GenAI application backends.
• Familiarity with platform engineering tooling such as Backstage, Crossplane, or internal developer platforms (IDPs).
• Exposure to FinOps frameworks and cloud cost governance at scale.
• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS architecture and data isolation patterns.
• Background in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, or government) with compliance-driven architecture requirements.
