This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Platform Architect (P4/P5) based in Romania.
As a Platform Architect, you will design and evolve scalable cloud platforms supporting global pharmaceutical and life sciences organizations.
You will work across AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and modern infrastructure technologies to deliver robust, secure, and efficient solutions.
The role combines hands-on architecture with client advisory, technical leadership, and project ownership.
You will translate complex client needs into practical cloud strategies while collaborating closely with engineering, data, and commercial teams.
You will also mentor engineers, contribute to pre-sales initiatives, and help shape solutions from technical discovery through delivery.
Working in a fully remote, international environment, you will have significant autonomy and the opportunity to influence high-impact, data-driven projects.
This is a senior architecture opportunity with a clear path toward broader Principal and Staff-level responsibilities.
Accountabilities:
- Design, build, and evolve scalable cloud platforms across AWS and Azure, ensuring solutions are reliable, secure, maintainable, and aligned with client requirements.
- Develop infrastructure automation using technologies such as Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines to improve deployment efficiency and consistency.
- Architect containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes and provide technical guidance on modern cloud and platform engineering practices.
- Advise clients on cloud architecture, infrastructure strategy, technical trade-offs, and implementation approaches.
- Lead small technical teams, provide architectural direction, and mentor junior and mid-level engineers to support their professional development.
- Work closely with engineering, data, and sales teams to shape technical solutions that address both client needs and business objectives.
- Participate actively in pre-sales activities, including understanding client requirements, scoping solutions, contributing to proposals, and supporting efforts to win new projects.
- Apply Agile and Scrum practices to coordinate delivery, manage priorities, and maintain effective collaboration across distributed teams.
- Take ownership of platform architecture from initial technical discovery and solution design through implementation and delivery guidance.
- Manage multiple priorities effectively while maintaining strong communication and delivery standards across projects and time zones.
Requirements:
- 4+ years of professional experience working with cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, or a closely related discipline.
- Strong practical knowledge of AWS and Azure, with hands-on experience using infrastructure-as-code and automation tools such as Terraform or Ansible.
- Solid understanding of Linux systems and networking fundamentals, including DNS, VPNs, TCP/IP, firewalls, and related infrastructure concepts.
- Experience working with Docker and Kubernetes in production or enterprise environments.
- Programming experience in at least one language, with the ability to understand and contribute to automation and engineering workflows.
- Proven project management, prioritization, and multitasking skills, with the ability to take ownership in a distributed environment.
- Experience working remotely and independently, with strong time management and communication skills.
- Previous consulting or client-facing experience, including the ability to understand business needs and communicate complex technical concepts clearly.
- Experience in pre-sales engineering, including technical scoping, solution proposals, or client discovery, or a strong interest in developing these capabilities.
- Business awareness and the ability to balance technical excellence with commercial and client considerations.
- C1-level English proficiency, with near-native confidence in written and verbal communication.
- Comfortable collaborating across international time zones, particularly between Europe and the United States.
- AWS or Azure certifications, experience with developer platforms, knowledge of R, Spark, or data-pipeline technologies, project management certification, or data engineering experience are considered valuable additional assets.
Benefits:
- Fully remote working model with the flexibility to work from Europe or LATAM.
- Flexibility to coordinate working hours around project requirements and collaboration across international time zones.
- Senior architecture position with meaningful influence over scalable cloud platforms used by global pharmaceutical and life sciences clients.
- End-to-end ownership of architecture, from technical discovery and solution design through delivery and client advisory.
- Close collaboration with engineering, data, and sales professionals, with direct influence on technical and business outcomes.
- Competitive B2B compensation aligned with seniority, experience, and impact, with a stated monthly range of PLN 16,200–PLN 28,300.
- Defined career development opportunities, including progression toward Principal and Staff-level architecture responsibilities.
- Dedicated time and budget for professional development, including cloud certifications, training, and industry events.
- Modern work equipment, including a MacBook or ThinkPad with Linux.
- Access to a modern technical toolset designed to support efficient, high-quality platform engineering.
- Remote-first, trust-based culture emphasizing ownership, technical excellence, autonomy, and thoughtful decision-making.
- Opportunity to work on high-impact, data-driven projects in regulated and technically complex environments.
