Technology Leader, Platform Architecture, Scalability & AI Automation

Key Responsibilities Platform Architecture & Technical Strategy

• Own the end-to-end platform architecture supporting core Fin Tech products and transaction flows
• Define architectural standards for scalability, performance, resiliency, and system composability
• Lead evolution from tightly coupled or monolithic systems toward distributed, service-oriented platforms
• Establish clear system boundaries, ownership models, and architectural governance
• Define and execute a multi-year platform roadmap aligned with growth, transaction scale, and product velocity

• Design platforms capable of handling high transaction volumes, burst traffic, and sustained throughput
• Guide horizontal scaling strategies across compute, storage, data, and messaging layers
• Lead architectural decisions around sharding, partitioning, caching, asynchronous processing, and concurrency
• Continuously improve latency, throughput, and resource efficiency across the platform
• Enable multi-region and multi-environment scalability where required
• Architect cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) optimized for scale, availability, and operational efficiency
• Define reference architectures for containerized workloads, microservices, and distributed runtimes
• Lead Kubernetes and container platform adoption and standardization
• Mature Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Cloud Formation, etc.) for consistent, scalable environments
• Own capacity modeling, growth forecasting, and infrastructure lifecycle planning
• Apply AI and machine learning techniques to automate platform operations and decision-making
• Use AI for:
  • Capacity forecasting and demand prediction
  • Anomaly detection in platform performance and system behavior
  • Automated root-cause analysis and incident correlation
  • Predictive scaling and infrastructure optimization
• Drive adoption of self-healing platform patterns where systems can respond automatically to failure or degradation
• Enable data pipelines, feature stores, and runtime environments required to support AI-enabled platform services
• Partner with data and engineering teams to product ionize AI capabilities within core platform workflows

• Build shared platform capabilities that abstract complexity and enable product teams to scale independently
• Provide self-service infrastructure, golden paths, and opinionated platform tooling
• Standardize CI/CD, runtime environments, observability, and deployment patterns
• Reduce friction and cognitive load for application teams through strong platform design
• Measure and improve developer experience as a platform outcome

• Lead SRE practices focused on scalability, automation, and operational maturity
• Define and track SLIs/SLOs centered on throughput, latency, availability, and platform health
• Establish advanced observability (metrics, tracing, logging) as inputs to AI-driven insights
• Lead analysis of scaling failures, performance bottlenecks, and systemic inefficiencies
• Drive continuous improvement toward predictable, automated, and resilient operations

• 10+ years of experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems
• 5+ years in senior technical leadership roles (Director, Principal, VP, or equivalent)
• Deep expertise in platform architecture, cloud-native design, and system scalability
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Proven experience with microservices, event-driven architectures, and distributed data systems
• Solid background in Infrastructure as Code and automation-first platform design
• Experience applying AI/ML concepts to operational or platform use cases

• Experience with high-volume transaction processing or real-time systems
• Strong Kubernetes and container platform experience
• Experience with event streaming platforms (Kafka or equivalent)
• Background modernizing legacy platforms at scale
• Experience with AI-assisted operations, AIOps, or intelligent monitoring platforms
