## Job Description

## What You’ll Do
- Lead the architecture and implementation of managed Kubernetes infrastructure powering all enterprise customer deployments, ensuring consistent behavior and operational excellence across AWS, Azure, and GCP
- Own the systems that provision, organize, and manage cloud accounts and subscriptions across providers, including resource governance, policy enforcement, and multi-tenant isolation
- Architect and maintain the access management platform that provides secure, auditable cluster access for operations teams, including automated emergency access and compliance controls
- Design and implement the networking layer that routes traffic into customer environments, replacing legacy components with cloud-native patterns integrated into each provider’s ecosystem
- Own the infrastructure lifecycle systems that provision, configure, and migrate Kubernetes environments, eliminating technical debt by transitioning legacy deployments to modern managed infrastructure
- Define and document architectural patterns, technical decision-making frameworks, and engineering standards that govern how multi-cloud infrastructure is built
- Mentor P3/P4 engineers, helping them develop cross-cloud expertise and architectural instincts
- Drive cross-functional alignment on major technical decisions across Platform and Software Engineering without relying on direct authority

## What We’re Looking For

- Hands-on expertise across multiple major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) — production-grade deployment and operational experience across at least two
- Demonstrated ability to make high-confidence, high-impact architectural decisions independently and own the outcomes
- Experience designing multi-tenant, multi-cloud infrastructure with strong security and compliance posture
- Proven track record of defining engineering standards and patterns that other engineers build on
- Strong background in identity federation, access management, and secure cluster operations
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code, GitOps, and modern platform engineering practices
- Ability to lead through influence — drive alignment across engineering teams without a direct reporting line
- Track record of mentoring and leveling up mid-level engineers

## Nice to Have
- Experience with Teleport or similar zero-trust access infrastructure
- Background in kubeadm or self-managed Kubernetes and migrating clusters to managed offerings
- Familiarity with BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) deployment models and enterprise customer environments
- Experience operating in compliance-sensitive or enterprise security review contexts
- Prior work at Staff or Principal level with org-wide architectural impact

## Compensation & Benefits
