We are looking for a Engineer with deep systems engineering expertise to lead the design and delivery of complex software-intensive systems spanning cloud platforms, distributed systems, AI-enabled products, mission software, and large-scale operational environments. This is a senior technical leadership role for engineers who thrive in ambiguity, solve problems that span organizational and technical boundaries, and bring clarity to highly complex systems.

You will partner with engineering, product, and architecture leaders to define system behavior, establish technical direction, and ensure the software we build remains scalable, resilient, and aligned with customer and mission outcomes. Success in this role requires balancing engineering rigor with product velocity. You will help teams move faster by simplifying complexity, identifying risks early, and creating architectures that allow independent teams to deliver cohesive systems.

Lead the technical design and delivery of complex, cross-domain software systems. Define system architecture, integration strategy, and technical direction across multiple engineering teams. Translate ambiguous customer, mission, and business problems into scalable technical solutions. Lead architecture trade studies and make consequential technical decisions across competing priorities. Drive system decomposition, interface definition, dependency management, and integration planning for large distributed systems. Partner with Product to validate customer needs and ensure delivered capabilities solve the right problems.
