• Experience operating high-traffic, latency-sensitive systems in production
• Strong knowledge of cloud platforms and managed services across at least one major provider
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Demonstrated ability to lead architecture initiatives spanning multiple teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with platform engineering and internal developer platform construction
• Familiarity with Istio, Linkerd, Envoy, or comparable service mesh technologies
• Exposure to FinOps practices and cloud cost optimization at scale
