  • Reliability, Security & Compliance: Champion SRE/SOC2/ISO/GDPR-by-design, error budgets, threat modeling, and secure SDLC.

  • Developer Experience: Improve CI/CD, test strategy, paved roads, and golden paths; reduce cognitive load and toil across teams.

  • Executive & Customer Influence: Translate architecture trade-offs for executives and key customers; guide buy-build-integrate decisions.
Key Responsibilities 
Set the vision: Author and socialize the product/platform architecture strategy; maintain ADRs and tech radars.

  • Design at scale: Lead designs for multi-tenant isolation, data models, schemas, indexing/OLAP, and event-driven systems.

  • Evolve the platform: Standardize service meshes, API gateways, policy-as-code, and multi-cloud deployment patterns.

  • Operational excellence: Embed SRE practices (SLOs, error budgets, incident learning), capacity planning, and chaos testing.

  • Security & privacy: Lead threat models, data classification, encryption, secrets, key management, and SBOM/SLSA controls.

  • AI architecture: Define patterns for RAG/agents, prompt & model governance, telemetry, evaluations, and fallbacks.

  • Mentor & scale: Coach Staff/Principal engineers and architects; chair architecture reviews; build a healthy review culture.

  • Executive partnering: Communicate options/trade-offs to C-suite; align decisions with business value and customer impact.

  • Customer evangelism: Join key enterprise conversations; convert requirements into pragmatic designs and phased delivery.

Qualifications
  • 20+ years in product/platform architecture for large-scale, cloud-native SaaS; recent Principal/Distinguished Architect scope leading end-to-end product decisions and migrations across multi-cloud.

  • Cloud & Kubernetes depth: EKS/AKS/GKE; service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), observability (Prometheus/Grafana), platform control planes, operators/CRDs. Able to define golden paths/paved roads for teams.

  • Data platform & streaming expertise: Kafka/Flink/Spark; columnar/OLAP (Druid, ClickHouse), NoSQL (Cassandra), search (Elasticsearch/Opensearch); real-time + batch patterns.

  • Microservices & integration at enterprise scale: API gateways, event-driven design, SOA/EAI (Apache Camel/Mule/WSO2/JBoss Fuse).

  • AI/ML & Agentic AI in production: ML pipelines (MLflow/Kubeflow/Airflow) and LLM/agent frameworks (OpenAI APIs, LLaMA, LangChain/LangGraph; tool-use, memory, evals).

  • Security, privacy, and compliance by design: threat modeling, data classification, encryption/keys, and EU GDPR awareness through real product work.

  • Executive communication & customer leadership: converts complex trade-offs into simple choices; partners with CXO/stakeholders globally; architecture evangelism with customers.
  • C-suite influence & decision facilitation: runs architecture reviews/SteerCos with crisp options, risk/ROI framing, and written decision records; pre-wires global stakeholders to land decisions quickly.

  • Customer-back product thinking: meets enterprises regularly, translates requirements into phased designs (MVP → scale), and defends non-negotiables (SLOs, security, privacy).

  • Cross-geo orchestration: proven delivery across US/EU/India time zones; builds async rituals, documentation standards, and handoff mechanisms that raise velocity and quality.

  • Culture carrier & coaching: uplevels Staff/Principal engineers, codifies paved roads (CI/CD, testing, observability), and scales architectural patterns via ADRs/radars. 
  •  
Preferred Qualifications
  • Multi-cloud platform stewardship: proven ownership of cross-cloud platforms (e.g., control planes, observability, incident management) and data lake stacks, shipped to enterprise customers.

  • Cost/performance engineering: track record reducing infra cost per tenant and improving p95/p99 latency/MTTR via capacity planning, workload placement, and autoscaling patterns.

  • Programming fluency: Java/Scala/Python/Go/Rust for credible code-review and reference implementations.

  • OSS & ecosystem contribution: prior contributions to relevant frameworks (e.g., Hadoop tuning, NoSQL ORM, Camel/Keycloak) a plus.
