We are seeking a skilled and forward-thinking Infrastructure Software Architect to lead the design and evolution of our backend systems, platform infrastructure, and deployment pipelines. You will work across engineering, DevOps, and product teams to build resilient, scalable, and secure infrastructure that supports mission-critical services and developer productivity.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architecture Design: Design scalable and fault-tolerant software infrastructure across cloud and on-prem environments.
• Platform Strategy: Define technical strategy for infrastructure services, CI/CD, observability, and service mesh.
• Infrastructure as Code: Lead the design and implementation of infrastructure automation (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible).
• Collaboration: Work closely with application engineers, SREs, and security teams to ensure architectural consistency and operational excellence.
• Standards & Governance: Define best practices for system design, reliability, monitoring, and compliance (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, FedRAMP).
• Innovation: Evaluate and introduce emerging technologies (e.g., Kubernetes operators, service proxies, edge compute).
• Technical Leadership: Mentor engineers and participate in code/design reviews to ensure high engineering standards.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
• 8+ years in software engineering with at least 5 years in an architectural or senior infrastructure role
• Deep understanding of cloud-native infrastructure (e.g., Kubernetes, Helm, Istio, AWS/GCP/Azure)
• Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines and deployment tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Jenkins)
• Proficient in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Go, Python, Rust)
• Experience with distributed systems, microservices, and networking concepts
• Familiarity with observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with hybrid cloud or air-gapped environments
• Background in high-security domains (e.g., fintech, defense, healthcare)
• Knowledge of advanced networking concepts and familiarity with IoT
• Exposure to event-driven architectures (Kafka, NATS)
