Cloud & Infrastructure Architect

*
* Job Description:

** We are looking for a
** Staff Infrastructure Architect
** in our
** Minneapolis or NYC office
** to own multi-cloud infrastructure architecture, Kubernetes platform strategy, and high availability across a product-led engineering organization of roughly 250 engineers.

This is a staff level individual-contributor role with broad technical influence and no direct reports. You will partner closely with engineering teams/leaders to anticipate infrastructure needs, shape platform strategy, and ensure the environment is ready for growth before capacity, reliability, or integration challenges become blockers.

The role is highly technical, with a focus on multi-cloud architecture, Kubernetes at scale, infrastructure-as-code, and maintaining a 99.95% uptime target. You will also play a key role in acquisition integration, architecture standards, and evaluating AI tooling that improves infrastructure and operational productivity.#
** What You'll Do**## Multi-Cloud Architecture
* Own multi-cloud architecture across AWS, GCP, and Azure, including workload placement, network topology, resilience, and platform design
* Design connectivity patterns such as VPC/VNet peering, transit, and hybrid networking
* Balance portability, resilience, cloud-native capabilities, and cost
* Establish cloud cost visibility and governance without slowing engineering delivery## Kubernetes & Platform Engineering
* Own Kubernetes architecture at scale, including cluster topology, multi-cluster and multi-cloud strategy, scheduling, autoscaling, and multi-tenancy
* Define the platform primitives engineering teams build on
* Own the infrastructure-as-code foundation, using Terraform or equivalent technologies## ## High Availability & Reliability
* Design and validate multi-region, multi-AZ, failover, and disaster recovery patterns that support a 99.95% uptime target
* Lead capacity and resilience planning by modeling growth and failure scenarios before they become production issues
* Partner on incident postmortems and drive architectural remediation where needed## Developer Partnership
* Work directly with engineering teams to understand roadmap needs 2–3+ quarters ahead
* Translate upcoming product, traffic, and scaling requirements into infrastructure plans
* Ensure capacity, networking, and platform capabilities are in place before teams are blocked## Acquisition Integration
* Support technical due diligence for acquisition targets, including architecture, technical debt, and integration risk
* Develop integration blueprints and migration plans with a target of onboarding acquired systems within 90 days
* Help determine which acquired systems should be replatformed, integrated, wrapped, or retired## Technical Leadership
* Establish lightweight architecture standards that improve consistency and reliability without creating unnecessary process
* Serve as a technical thought partner to Directors, senior engineers, and platform teams
* Mentor senior and Staff-level engineers on architecture and system design
* Evaluate AI tooling for infrastructure automation, code generation, and operational workflows# What You'll Bring## Must-Have
* 10+ years of infrastructure or platform engineering experience, including significant architecture ownership at scale
* Deep production experience designing and operating across at least two major cloud providers, such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
* Strong Kubernetes platform experience, including cluster topology, multi-cluster strategy, and platform-level architecture
* Experience designing highly available systems, including multi-region, multi-AZ, failover, and disaster recovery
* Strong infrastructure-as-code experience with Terraform or similar tools
* Demonstrated ability to anticipate…
