Partner with engineering and platform teams to ensure solutions align with established architecture standards and best practices
Help identify risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks across architecture, security, and infrastructure
Support platform modernization and migration efforts by analyzing current‑state solutions and documenting future‑state designs
Contribute to clear communication of technical concepts, decisions, and trade‑offs to technical and non‑technical stakeholders

Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field
7+ years of experience in a software engineering, solution architecture, or platform engineering role
7-10 years experience with APIs, integration patterns, and distributed systems
5+ years experience working with cloud technologies or cloud‑based applications (AWS preferred)

Interest in AI‑enabled platforms or developer productivity tools
Experience supporting platform migrations or modernization initiatives
