Principal / Staff Architect

• Design and own the enterprise‑wide SRE operating model, including toil elimination frameworks, error budget policies, and reliability governance structures across multi‑tenant, multi‑cloud environments.
• Architect resilience patterns for mission‑critical platforms spanning Open Shift on‑premise, AWS, and hybrid‑cloud topologies, with focus on fault isolation, graceful degradation, and zero‑downtime deployments.
• Define and institutionalize SLI/SLO/SLA hierarchies at organizational scale; translate business risk appetite into measurable reliability targets with clear ingress and escalation contracts.
• Lead the design of next‑generation CI/CD and Git Ops pipelines; establish blueprint architectures using Git Lab, Argo CD, Tekton, Terraform, and Ansible for repeatable, auditable delivery.
• Establish a Chaos Engineering practice – defining experiment frameworks, blast‑radius controls, and Game Day runbooks – to proactively validate system resilience before incidents occur.
• Architect observability platforms integrating distributed tracing, structured logging, and advanced metric pipelines (Open Telemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Sumo Logic) to enable proactive anomaly detection.
• Drive platform engineering strategy: define internal developer platforms (IDPs), golden paths, and self‑service capabilities that reduce cognitive load for application engineering teams.
• Architect cost‑optimized, auto‑scaling, and Fin Ops‑aligned cloud infrastructure on AWS (preferred) and hybrid environments; lead cloud cost governance programs including Savings Plans, resource tagging taxonomy, and rightsizing automation.
• Design and enforce data security and access control frameworks using AWS HSM, IAM, Secrets Manager, and zero‑trust network principles; engage enterprise security architects to address vulnerabilities surfaced by internal and external audits.
• Define backup, replication, and disaster recovery architectures for critical data and application components; own RTO/RPO targets and validate them through regular DR rehearsals.
• Provide architectural direction for API management, data streaming pipelines, and integration layers (Service Now, Version One, Sumo Logic), ensuring operational observability end‑to‑end.
• Lead capacity management and elastic infrastructure design to accommodate irregular traffic bursts; model growth scenarios and translate them into provisioning and scaling strategies.
• Maintain data integrity and access control using AWS security tools and services such as HSM, IAM, etc.; develop tools to monitor AWS billing, generate cost‑related reports, and implement cost optimization strategies.
