## Job Description
## What you’ll do

- Define and evolve cross-platform system primitives and structures, translating mission and product needs into durable system behaviors and producing artifacts that clarify system intent (PRDs, specs, evaluation criteria)
- Drive resolution of structural problems spanning multiple engineering organizations
- Build alignment across engineering leadership, design, and mission stakeholders
- Maintain convergence momentum across teams implementing shared capabilities
- Partner with Engineering Managers to translate structural intent into execution plans and hold convergence through delivery
- Stay engaged through delivery to ensure implementations converge on intended outcomes
- Identify architectural divergence early and drive corrective action
- Identify and drive resolution of cross-team dependencies arising from shared platform primitives and structural initiatives

## What we’re looking for

- Experience operating at Staff level in TPM, product architecture, or engineer-to-PM hybrid roles
- **Strong systems reasoning** across distributed systems, identity/authorization, or platform architecture
- Demonstrated success shaping technical direction across multiple teams
- Demonstrated ability to drive cross-organizational technical initiatives through to outcome - articulating tradeoffs, aligning stakeholders, and landing durable decisions
- Credible communicator able to influence senior engineers and technical leadership across domains without relying on formal authority structures
- High ownership mindset in ambiguous environments
- Outstanding driver and communicator who identifies structural risks early - such as unclear ownership, missing definitions, or weak execution setup - and intervenes to correct course

## Nice to have

- Background in platform, infrastructure, or security domains
- Experience with policy or authorization systems
- Multi-tenant or regulated environment exposure
- Experience operating in environments with decentralized ownership or competing platform abstractions
