In this role you'll work with engineering leadership to define our technical vision, build world class architecture, and ensure that our engineering team is able to execute on the plan. You'll ensure that we have robust connectivity between our cloud and on prem systems and design systems that ensure secure integration, data flow, observability, and scalable platform design.

Key Tasks & Responsibilities:

Define responsibilities and integration boundaries across platform layers, ensuring clear ownership, scalable design, and appropriate separation of concerns. Define API, messaging, and integration contracts across platform components and external system interfaces, ensuring clear ownership, scalability, and maintainability. Contribute to the architecture of the CubeVerse platform, including secure and scalable end-to-end connectivity from on-premises environments to cloud services. Define expectations for latency, throughput, availability, fault isolation, and graceful degradation across operational scenarios. Define data flows and architectural patterns that support performance, reliability, and continuous optimization across the platform. Define scalable coordination patterns across controllers and operational domains, including task allocation, dependency management, and conflict resolution. Own architecture decisions, reference designs, and technical review processes; mentor engineers and set engineering standards. We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters.
