Job Description

Drive secure software architecture & design by translating complex security requirements into high-level, modular software and system designs. Govern architectural principles for performance, reliability, and security across the entire application stack.

Architect & deploy secure infrastructure on GCP, while establishing multi-cloud interoperability patterns (AWS, Azure) to support diverse customer environments.

Champion a "shift-left" methodology by building automated CI/CD pipelines, container security strategies, and Infrastructure-as-Code that ensure speed never compromises safety.

Provide technical leadership and architectural mentorship to senior engineers and communicate complex architectural trade-offs to executive stakeholders and product leadership.

Partner with InfoSec teams to bake governance into experimental architectures, and collaborate with Sales Architects to translate technical innovations into scalable, market-ready solutions.
