Job Description:

We are seeking a visionary and hands-on Sr. Staff Platform Architect to spearhead the greenfield development of our next-generation Internal Developer Platform (IDP) and Event Mesh. This critical role has a dual mandate: to modernize and automate our core IT infrastructure while simultaneously delivering a cutting-edge AI-First Development Platform.

You will be responsible for building a highly governed, self-service platform on AWS (EKS, MSK). This foundation will power a highly automated, event-driven infrastructure and an Everything as Code (EaC) RAG architecture specifically optimized for AI-first application development.

Crucially, this role requires a "Platform as a Product" philosophy. Beyond building the physical infrastructure, you will design and implement the automated toolchains, Everything-as-Code (EaC) pipelines, and AI-assisted workflows necessary to securely and rapidly onboard legacy development teams onto the new architecture, enabling them to fully leverage modern AI development patterns.

As a Sr. Staff Platform Architect, you will:

• Infrastructure Engineering (50%): Architect and deploy a secure, multi-tenant AWS foundation utilizing Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK). Implement Istio service mesh for zero-trust networking and distributed tracing.

• Platform & DevEx Engineering (50%): Build the "Paved Road." Establish zero-touch GitOps deployment pipelines (ArgoCD/Flux) and mandate Infrastructure-as-Code(IaC) through Terraform.

• Policy & Governance: Implement automated architectural and security governance using Policy-as-Code (Open Policy Agent/Rego) to enforce guardrails natively within CI/CD pipelines.

• Data Contracts: Enforce strict data governance using AWS Glue Schema Registry and Avro/Protobuf to establish canonical data contracts across the enterprise.

• AI-First Tooling: Integrate LLM API gateways into the deployment pipelines to assist development teams with infrastructure code generation, schema translation, and automated architectural review.

We are excited about you if you have:

• 8+ years in Cloud Infrastructure, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Platform Engineering.

• Deep expertise in AWS, specifically EKS and MSK (or enterprise Apache Kafka).

• Advanced proficiency in Terraform and GitOps methodologies (ArgoCD or Flux).

• Experience writing and enforcing Policy-as-Code (OPA, Checkov, or Kyverno).

• Strong understanding of event-driven architectures, schema registries (Avro/Protobuf), and distributed tracing.

• Demonstrated ability to treat platform engineering as a software development discipline, focusing on Developer Experience (DevEx) and self-service automation.

This role is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.

What you can expect from us:

• Generous PTO Policy

• Support work life balance with

• Flexible WFH Policy

• Mental & Physical Wellness programs

• Phone and Internet Reimbursement program

• Access to Continued Career Development

• Comprehensive Benefits and Competitive Packages
