You will shape how our systems are designed and evolved at scale. You will also promote infrastructure excellence across the organization, driving their design, deployment, and evolution at scale. You will report to the Sr. Principal Engineer. This is an individual contributor position., * Manage and evolve the end-to-end architectural blueprint for cloud-native applications at scale - covering compute, data, networking, security, and observability layers on AWS. * Define and promote agentic AI architecture patterns, including multi-agent systems, tool orchestration, memory and retrieval strategies, LLM routing, guardrails, and feedback loops. Translate these patterns into relevant standards and reusable reference architectures. * Establish and govern DevOps standards across the organization: CI/CD pipeline design, GitOps practices, deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, progressive delivery), environment parity, and release engineering. * Design and oversee platform infrastructure. This includes ECS, Kubernetes clusters (EKS), service mesh, API gateway strategy, secrets management, IAM/RBAC governance, and data stores like DynamoDB, Aurora RDS, Postgres, Elastic/OpenSearch. Additionally, it involves multi-account/multi-region AWS topology. * Lead architecture reviews and provide binding technical decisions on high-risk changes - balancing velocity, reliability, cost, and security. * Define SLOs/SLIs/error budgets, logging standards, distributed tracing, capacity planning, and incident response frameworks. * Introduce new technologies through structured PoC and risk assessment processes; build internal communities of practice around architectural patterns. * Produce architecture decision records (ADRs), system context diagrams, threat models, and runbooks that serve as the source of truth for platform design. * Be a technical advisor to Product and Partners - translating architectural constraints and capabilities into clear strategic options. * Mentor staff and senior engineers on architectural thinking, systems design, and engineering leadership; conduct design reviews that raise the technical bar across teams. ## Related Videos - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [Exploring the Power of gRPC-Gateway for Writing RESTful Services](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2072-exploring-the-power-of-grpc-gateway-for-writing-restful-services) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Accelerating Authentication Architecture: Taking Passwordless to the Next Level](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/733-accelerating-authentication-architecture-taking-passwordless-to-the-next-level) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
