• Identity, Security & Governance
• Observability, Reliability & Production Operations
• AI/ML & Advanced Compute Infrastructure
• Team Leadership & Engineering Management

Qualifications:

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, infrastructure, DevOps, data infrastructure, or cloud architecture.
• 5+ years of engineering leadership experience, including managing senior engineers or platform teams.
• Deep experience designing, building, and operating cloud-native production systems.
• Strong experience with Python (or comparable backend languages) and modern frontend frameworks such as React.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure on major public cloud platforms.
• Strong background in distributed systems, APIs, databases, CI/CD, observability, and infrastructure automation.
• Experience with production data systems (document, analytical, relational, time[1]series, or data warehouses).
• Experience with enterprise identity, authentication, RBAC, and access-control patterns.
• Experience operating multi-tenant SaaS platforms with strong customer data isolation.
• Experience with modern engineering workflow tools for source control, planning, code review, and release management.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to work effectively across technical and non-technical teams.
• Proven ability to translate business and customer needs into platform strategy and technical execution.
