About The Position

This position will serve as a senior technologist responsible for driving architecture decisions, technical design direction, and cross-domain alignment required to deliver automated infrastructure provisioning for application deployments. This role works closely with implementation partners, architects, engineers, cybersecurity, operations, and application teams to ensure automation delivers secure, compliant, supportable, and application-ready infrastructure outcomes. This role requires broad technical depth across cloud, servers, networking, security, identity, automation, and related infrastructure platforms. The architect defines reusable infrastructure patterns, validates technical designs, resolves cross-domain dependencies, and makes key architecture decisions as provisioning workflows move from strategy into production implementation. This position develops and maintains high-level designs for overall logical and technical IT architecture. Employees in this role provide leadership, strategic decision-making, and guidance within technical disciplines, responding to disruptive technologies and solving unique and complex problems. Individuals facilitate and orchestrate the delivery of targeted business outcomes through technical decisions. Leaders in this job serve as top-level experts and visionaries in the development of roadmaps, strategy, and design for assigned technology areas.

Requirements

8+ years of progressive experience in infrastructure engineering, cloud architecture, platform engineering, or infrastructure automation, including at least 5+ years in a senior or principal architecture role.
Proven track record leading enterprise-scale infrastructure architecture across cloud, compute/servers, networking, security, identity, and operations platforms in complex, multi-domain environments.
Demonstrated experience designing and delivering Infrastructure as Code–driven provisioning systems (e.g., Terraform or equivalent), including automated workflows, orchestration, and policy-based controls.
Experience serving as a lead architect or technical authority in cross-functional initiatives involving internal engineering teams and external system integrators or vendors.
History of making final or near-final architecture decisions that balance security, operational readiness, scalability, standardization, and delivery speed in production environments.
Demonstrated ability to define and enforce enterprise infrastructure standards, reusable patterns, and reference architectures adopted across multiple teams or domains.
Strong communication and influence skills, with experience operating in environments requiring alignment across application development, infrastructure operations, cybersecurity, and platform engineering teams.
