We're looking for a hands-on Cloud Platform Architect to lead technical strategy and drive transformation across our global SRE and DevOps operations. This is a senior individual contributor role where you'll set the architectural vision, guide implementation, and influence technology decisions for our cloud platform-including Ruckus One-serving millions of users worldwide.

As a key member of our engineering leadership team, you'll move us from manual operations to automated, intelligent workflows. You'll balance strategic architecture with hands-on coding (40-50%), working on multi-tenant GCP infrastructure, Kubernetes optimization, disaster recovery, automation frameworks, and compliance solutions.

• Define and enforce architectural standards across our cloud product portfolio.
• Lead technology evaluations and vendor selections with clear technical recommendations.
• Create Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) for major initiatives.
• Provide hands-on technical guidance to engineering teams on implementation patterns.
• Drive cross-product technical alignment and establish common standards.
• Own the technical roadmap for cloud infrastructure and automation.
• Architect solutions for multi-region HA, disaster recovery, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Design automation frameworks to eliminate manual processes and reduce operational toil.
• Build observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, and GCP tools.
• Write production-grade code in Python, Bash, and Go for automation and tooling.
• Develop Terraform modules and IaC patterns for enterprise-scale deployments.

Required Qualifications:

• 10+ years in infrastructure/platform engineering with large-scale production environments.
• Expert-level experience in GCP/AWS, multi-region architectures, GKE optimization, networking, and security.
• Deep Kubernetes expertise in production environments.
• Advanced Terraform development and IaC best practices.
• Strong coding skills in Python, Bash, and/or Go.
• Linux systems expertise across multiple distributions.
• Proven ability to create technical documentation and ADRs.

You'll excite us if you have:

• Multi-cloud experience (AWS/Azure)
• Compliance frameworks (SOC2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP)
• Cost optimization achievements
• SRE/DevOps transformation leadership
• Observability platform expertise
• Disaster recovery design and implementation
• GitOps and CI/CD pipeline expertise (Jenkins, GitLab, ArgoCD)
