• Document and communicate architectural decisions, trade-offs, and roadmaps to engineering teams, leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders
• Provide input on technology selection and help drive best practices for cloud-native development, observability, and operational excellence
• 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
• Mentor senior engineers and architects, raising the technical bar across the organization

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years of experience delivering and supporting enterprise-ready cloud-based systems, with at least 3+ years in a Principal, Staff, or Architect-level role
• 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)
• Prior experience in privileged access, endpoint security, or the broader cybersecurity domain
