This role will serve with technical authority, driving innovation, influencing technology decisions across the organization, and ensuring our platform can dynamically scale to meet evolving product requirements.

Job Responsibility

  • Define and evolve the architectural blueprint for a highly elastic, self-optimizing cloud platform
  • Develop frameworks and systems that support real-time autoscaling, predictive scaling, capacity forecasting, and cost-aware elasticity
  • Maintain a deep understanding of cloud provider offerings (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.) and relevant industry tooling, including their performance characteristics, constraints, and roadmap directions
  • Evaluate emerging technologies, vendor solutions, and open-source projects, identifying opportunities and gaps relative to our needs
  • Influence long-term engineering strategy, collaborating with product, operations, and security teams to align architectural decisions with business goals
  • Mentor senior technical leaders and engineering teams
  • drive engineering excellence and establish best practices for scalable cloud architecture
  • Establish patterns for distributed systems that optimize workload placement, resource utilization, reliability, and failure recovery
  • Focus on cost efficiency by designing elasticity mechanisms that reduce waste without compromising performance or customer experience
  • Lead the creation of reference implementations, proofs-of-concept, and performance experiments to validate design decisions
  • Investigate platform constraints and collaborate with teams to design alternatives or mitigations
  • Define guardrails, standards, and tooling that ensure elasticity features are observable, testable, and production-ready

Requirements

  • 10+ years in large-scale distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, or platform engineering
  • Proven track record architecting high-scale, elastic, multi-region or multi-cloud systems
  • Deep understanding of cloud provider elasticity primitives, orchestration systems (Kubernetes, serverless, autoscalers), and modern infrastructure technologies

Nice to have

  • Experience with hybrid or edge-cloud architectures
  • Contributions to open-source cloud infrastructure projects
  • Prior Distinguished Engineer or Principal Engineer experience in a large-scale cloud-native organization

What we offer

  • People-first culture
  • Flexible work model
  • Focus on well-being
  • Inclusive environment
