## Description

We're looking for a hands-on technical leader to drive architecture and delivery on large-scale, multi-vendor cloud modernization programs. You won't manage headcount - you'll own the technical direction: the target-state architecture, the standards multiple teams build against, and the confidence of senior stakeholders funding the work. The engineers around you write most of the code; you shape it, review it, and write the parts that set the pattern.
