Job Description:
We are looking for a Staff Infrastructure Architect in our Minneapolis or NYC office to own multi-cloud infrastructure architecture, Kubernetes platform strategy, and high availability across a product-led engineering organization of roughly 250 engineers.
This is a staff level individual-contributor role with broad technical influence and no direct reports. You will partner closely with engineering teams/leaders to anticipate infrastructure needs, shape platform strategy, and ensure the environment is ready for growth before capacity, reliability, or integration challenges become blockers.
The role is highly technical, with a focus on multi-cloud architecture, Kubernetes at scale, infrastructure-as-code, and maintaining a 99.95% uptime target. You will also play a key role in acquisition integration, architecture standards, and evaluating AI tooling that improves infrastructure and operational productivity.
Own multi-cloud architecture across AWS, GCP, and Azure, including workload placement, network topology, resilience, and platform design
Design connectivity patterns such as VPC/VNet peering, transit, and hybrid networking
Balance portability, resilience, cloud-native capabilities, and cost
Establish cloud cost visibility and governance without slowing engineering delivery
Own Kubernetes architecture at scale, including cluster topology, multi-cluster and multi-cloud strategy, scheduling, autoscaling, and multi-tenancy
Define the platform primitives engineering teams build on
Own the infrastructure-as-code foundation, using Terraform or equivalent technologies
Design and validate multi-region, multi-AZ, failover, and disaster recovery patterns that support a 99.95% uptime target
Lead capacity and resilience planning by modeling growth and failure scenarios before they become production issues
Partner on incident postmortems and drive architectural remediation where needed
Work directly with engineering teams to understand roadmap needs 2–3+ quarters ahead
Translate upcoming product, traffic, and scaling requirements into infrastructure plans
Ensure capacity, networking, and platform capabilities are in place before teams are blocked
Support technical due diligence for acquisition targets, including architecture, technical debt, and integration risk
Develop integration blueprints and migration plans with a target of onboarding acquired systems within 90 days
Help determine which acquired systems should be replatformed, integrated, wrapped, or retired
Establish lightweight architecture standards that improve consistency and reliability without creating unnecessary process
Serve as a technical thought partner to Directors, senior engineers, and platform teams
Mentor senior and Staff-level engineers on architecture and system design
Evaluate AI tooling for infrastructure automation, code generation, and operational workflows
10+ years of infrastructure or platform engineering experience, including significant architecture ownership at scale
Deep production experience designing and operating across at least two major cloud providers, such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
Strong Kubernetes platform experience, including cluster topology, multi-cluster strategy, and platform-level architecture
Experience designing highly available systems, including multi-region, multi-AZ, failover, and disaster recovery
Strong infrastructure-as-code experience with Terraform or similar tools
Demonstrated ability to anticipate infrastructure and capacity needs before they become blockers
Experience influencing technical direction across teams without formal authority
Direct experience with M&A technical due diligence and post-acquisition system integration
Experience with enterprise architecture, including data, integration, or security architecture
Experience supporting AI/ML infrastructure or AI-enabled engineering workflows
Experience in a PE-backed or acquisition-heavy organization
Familiarity with enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF
