Job description

Role Overview,
  • We are seeking a Principal Architect to lead the technical vision, architecture, and evolution of our Kubernetes-based infrastructure platforms supporting large-scale, GPU-enabled workloads. This role is responsible for defining end-to-end platform strategy across on-premises and cloud environments, driving architectural standards, and partnering closely with engineering, SRE, and operations teams to deliver highly reliable, scalable infrastructure as a service to internal customers.
  • As a Principal Architect, you will operate at both the systems and organizational level-setting long-term technical direction, influencing platform adoption, and ensuring architectural decisions align with business priorities, reliability goals, and future growth.

Job Summary,
  • 10+ years of experience in platform engineering, infrastructure architecture, SRE, or distributed systems roles.
  • Deep expertise in Kubernetes architecture, including on Prem deployments and production-scale environments.
  • Strong understanding of Linux systems internals, performance tuning, and troubleshooting.
  • Advanced knowledge of networking fundamentals (L3/L4, DNS, load balancing, VPC networking).
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Go, Python, or Bash, with experience designing automation frameworks or platform services.
  • Proven experience architecting large-scale distributed systems with high reliability requirements.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction across multiple teams without direct authority.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).
