Change the world. Love your job.
We are seeking a highly experienced System Architect – Platform Engineering to define and drive the architecture of core platform systems that power enterprise-scale applications across hybrid environments (on-prem data centers and public cloud).
This role focuses on end-to-end system design, ensuring seamless integration across compute, storage, networking, and platform services, while delivering scalable, reliable, and high-performance infrastructure.
The ideal candidate will combine deep systems engineering expertise with architectural leadership, enabling the development of a unified, cloud-like platform.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and lead end-to-end system architecture for enterprise platform engineering, including compute, storage, networking, and platform services
- Design scalable and resilient platform systems across hybrid environments (on-prem + AWS/Azure/GCP)
- Architect and standardize core platform components, including:
- Kubernetes-based platforms (OpenShift, SUSE Rancher)
- Infrastructure services (compute, storage, networking integration)
- API-driven and self-service platform capabilities
- Drive architecture for high-performance systems, including HPC and GPU-based workloads
- Ensure tight integration between:
- Infrastructure layers (network, compute, storage)
- Platform layers (Kubernetes, APIs, developer services)
- Define system-level design standards, reference architectures, and best practices
- Collaborate with network, platform, SRE, and application teams to ensure cohesive architecture across the stack
- Design for high availability, scalability, fault tolerance, and performance optimization
- Guide modernization efforts, transforming legacy systems into modular, distributed platform architectures
- Evaluate and adopt new technologies aligned with long-term platform strategy
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
- 7+ years of experience in systems architecture, platform engineering, or infrastructure engineering
Preferred Qualifications
- Strong expertise in large-scale distributed systems design
- Deep experience with compute, storage, and networking architectures in enterprise environments
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes platforms (OpenShift, SUSE Rancher, or similar)
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible)
- Familiarity with programming languages (Python, Go)
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
- Experience with observability tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Elastic/ELK)
- Strong understanding of hybrid cloud architecture patterns
- Experience designing enterprise private cloud platforms
- Knowledge of advanced data center networking (EVPN/VXLAN, SDN)
- Experience with Apache ecosystem (Kafka, Spark, or data platforms)
- Experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Understanding of API gateway, IAM, and platform integration patterns
- Exposure to GPU / AI / HPC workloads
- Engineer your future. We empower our employees to truly own their career and development. Come collaborate with some of the smartest people in the world to shape the future of electronics.
