Principal Platform Architect

Enterprise Technical Strategy and Architecture

You're making architectural decisions that shape how a large enterprise builds, delivers, and operates software at scale — decisions that affect dozens of teams and how the organization moves for years to come. Leading teams of 30-40+ engineers, that looks like:

Defining the entire technical direction for major enterprise Platform transformation engagements — the target state architecture, the platform strategy, the sequencing, and the standards that dozens of teams will build against

Designing the cloud-native platform architecture that determines how the organization operates at scale — how workloads run, how pipelines deliver, how teams self-serve, and how the business stays secure and compliant as it grows

Shaping enterprise-scale CI/CD strategy that transforms how engineering teams deliver software — standardizing toolchains, establishing governance models, and building the foundation that makes continuous delivery a reality across the organization

Defining the observability and DevSecOps architecture that changes how the organization operates and secures its systems — not just implementing tools, but establishing the practices and standards that become the new way of working

Building the technical roadmap that connects the organization's current state to its future state — balancing investment, risk, regulatory constraints, and the speed of change the business actually needs
