Full Job Description
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)
