## About the Role

* Proven Technical Depth: Extensive experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems, with a "lessons learned the hard way" mentality.
 * Expert System Modeling: Advanced proficiency in high-level service design and the ability to model interfaces for long-term scalability.
 * Data Layer Mastery: Deep working knowledge of various data persistence layers and a nuanced understanding of which use cases suit specific technologies.
 * Public Cloud Proficiency: Significant experience with a major cloud provider (AWS preferred), including a strong grasp of its capabilities and inherent caveats.
 * Communication Versatility: Exceptional verbal, written, and presentation skills, with the ability to tailor complex messages for both technical and non-technical audiences.
 * Leadership Mindset: A hospitality-focused approach to leadership, prioritizing being "of service" to the teams you support rather than exercising rigid control.
 * Collaborative Agility: The ability to propose solutions and integrate critical feedback without defensiveness, maintaining a focus on the best outcome for the product.
 * Domain Expertise: A proven track record as a domain expert in a specific focus area (e.g., Front-end or Data Architecture) while maintaining a broad understanding of the full stack.
 * Tech Stack Context
 * .NET monorepo (C#), actively migrating from monolith to microservices
 * AWS infrastructure (ECS, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, S3, Kinesis, Elasticsearch)
 * Terraform for IaC; CI/CD pipelines; multi-region aspirations
 * Python AI/ML services; Temporal.io for workflow orchestration
 * CQRS and event-driven architecture patterns

## Description

* Architectural Strategy: Design and oversee the development of high-scale, mission-critical production systems, ensuring they are modular, composable, and extensible.
 * System Modernization: Drive the evolution of "legacy" systems by implementing strategic techniques to migrate them toward a modern, target-state architecture.
 * Cross-Functional Translation: Act as a bridge between Engineering and non-technical stakeholders (Product, Security, Finance, etc.) to ensure business needs are reflected in technical designs.
 * Documentation & Visualization: Create clear technical documentation and complex system diagrams to communicate architectural visions across various mediums.
 * Collaborative Design: Facilitate design sessions and distributed conversations, ensuring engineering teams retain ownership of their work while benefiting from expert feedback.
 * Cloud & Cost Optimization: Manage and optimize cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS), balancing high performance with cost efficiencies and regional deployment needs.
 * Mentorship & Growth: Serve as a high-level mentor to engineering teams, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
 * Technology Scouting: Monitor the broader computing landscape to identify dependable current technologies and emerging trends worthy of adoption
