  • Strong Kubernetes architecture experience, including workload design, multi-tenancy, RBAC, GitOps, and platform operations.
  • Experience architecting and operating large-scale multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
  • Demonstrated success influencing technical direction across multiple engineering teams without direct management authority.
  • Experience working within regulated environments requiring compliance with frameworks such as FedRAMP, GovRAMP, PCI-DSS, or SOC2.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to influence technical and business stakeholders at multiple levels of the organization.

DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience modernizing monolithic applications into cloud-native architectures.
  • Experience integrating acquired products, platforms, or identity systems into a unified architecture.
  • Expertise with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or OpenTofu.
  • Familiarity with service mesh technologies, APIOps practices, and hybrid cloud migration strategies.
