- Design and refine frameworks, tooling, and engineering standards that enhance system resilience and long-term maintainability.
- Partner closely with Product, Infrastructure, and Platform teams to embed sound architectural principles into planning, design, and delivery.
- Contribute hands-on to critical initiatives, including prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and production systems that demonstrate scalable, maintainable design.
- Guide teams in adopting robust distributed system patterns, ensuring fault tolerance, observability, and operational maturity are built in from day one.
- Provide thoughtful design reviews and technical guidance that raise the bar for engineering quality and consistency.
- Collaborate with engineering leaders to align architectural decisions with business priorities and long-term platform strategy.
What You'll Bring
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education, experience, and training.
- At least 8 years of professional software engineering experience, including significant experience designing and evolving large-scale distributed systems in production environments.
- Proven experience owning architectural components of high-availability, mission-critical platforms.
- Strong expertise in scalable design patterns, performance optimization, reliability engineering, and modern cloud-based architectures.
- Proficiency with modern development practices, including continuous integration and delivery, infrastructure as code, and observability tooling.
- Experience collaborating across teams to deliver cross-functional technical initiatives that improve system stability, scalability, or efficiency.
- Clear, structured communication skills with the ability to document architectural decisions and influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- A passion for mentoring engineers, providing actionable design feedback, and continuously improving engineering standards.
