  • Partner with architecture, platform, and deployment teams (3–7 people across groups) as a senior individual contributor.
  • Ensure patterns are operationally sound; observability, reliability, and production readiness
What You Will Bring

  • Strong knowledge of microservices, containers, and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with API-driven architecture and modern authentication/authorization frameworks.
  • Ability to write ADRs and establish engineering standards.
  • Operational mindset with focus on reliability, monitoring, and lifecycle management.

What You Can Expect

  • Compensation commensurate with your qualifications, experience, and other factors including geographic location, market and operational factors.
