• Help define overall architectural principles, frameworks, and standards that other product teams can adopt

• Contribute to the architecture strategy as it aligns to the EPM and broader platform product roadmap

• Deep expertise with at least one major public cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and working familiarity with others

• Hands-on experience architecting big data and analytics platforms, including ingestion, schema design, partitioning, and query performance tuning across technologies such as Elastic, ClickHouse, Databricks, or similar

• Microservices and cloud-native design patterns, including containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)

• Solid understanding of modern design patterns and practices such as Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and CI/CD

• Competency in a core programming language

• Demonstrated experience leading architecture for SaaS platforms at meaningful scale

• Experience with the full lifecycle of development and product release in an agile environment

• You can move fluently between architectural diagrams and a code review

• Strong ability to communicate well with all aspects of the business, from individual engineers to executive stakeholders

Nice To Have

• Event streaming platforms (Kafka) and stream processing (Flink, Spark Streaming)

• Service mesh technologies (Istio) and continuous delivery tooling (ArgoCD)

• Experience designing security and compliance in regulated environments (SOC 2, FedRAMP, ISO 27001)
