About the Job

Requirements

  • 10+ years designing and operating data storage technology at scale in cloud-native software-as-a-service environments, including AWS or Google Cloud Platform, MySQL, relational and graph databases, NoSQL, caching, event systems, and progressive delivery.
  • Proven ownership of data movement through developer portals and partner onboarding or marketplaces; experience shipping versioning and deprecation programs and webhook or event architectures using REST, GraphQL, Kafka, Pub/Sub, or equivalent technologies.
  • Deep security and tenancy expertise, including OAuth2/OIDC, scope design, role-based and attribute-based access control, multi-tenant isolation, auditing, privacy-preserving patterns, and compliance integrated into workflows.
  • Fluency in reliability and observability practices, including tracing, logs, metrics, service-level objectives, error budgets, chaos and disaster recovery patterns, and secure webhook delivery.
  • Demonstrated developer experience and efficiency impact, including measurable DORA improvements, faster time-to-first-service, and improved unit economics or FinOps.

Responsibilities

  • Set data storage vision and reference architectures for a resilient, secure, compliant, multi-tenant software-as-a-service platform, including identity and permissions, tenancy, configuration, notifications, audit, and compliance guardrails.
  • Architect and guide the evolution of data storage technology, including data continuity, relational databases, replication strategy, caching, graphing, and multi-tenancy; work with the platform team on supporting UDM and API platform data innovation.
  • Architect and influence data technology modernization by evolving the core data architecture, modernizing legacy systems, enabling scalable cloud-native patterns, and preparing the platform for future innovation and growth.
  • Collaborate with Product and Engineering leadership to define and communicate product vision and strategy from a data architecture perspective, and represent architectural vision and tradeoffs to executive leadership to ensure alignment across business, product, and technology.
  • Evolve the Internal Developer Platform to provide standardized, self-service developer workflows, standard approaches, and self-service tooling that accelerate delivery and improve DORA metrics and time-to-first-service.
  • Provide architectural guidance for Data and AI platform patterns, including data modeling, streaming, analytics, AI and agent platform patterns, and evaluation and observability.
  • Ensure reliability, security, and compliance by design through public service-level objectives and error budgets, progressive delivery and canaries, chaos testing, multi-region disaster recovery, authentication and authorization using OAuth2/OIDC/SAML and RBAC/ABAC, secure webhooks, audit logging, and SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR controls in designs and pipelines.
  • Guide growth, monetization, and FinOps enablement through usage metering, entitlements, pricing tiers, quotas and rate limits, and unit-economics telemetry such as cost per call, event, or tenant to guide caching, capacity, storage tiers, and retention policies.
  • Multiply architectural impact by running architecture decision record and request for comment processes, leading design reviews and guilds, mentoring Staff and Principal engineers, and prototyping to de-risk major initiatives and migrations.

Desired Qualifications

  • Transform developer experience with measurable improvements to DORA metrics and internal satisfaction through intuitive platforms and golden paths.
  • Inspire architectural clarity and alignment across teams, helping leadership and engineers rally around a cohesive technical vision.
  • Build thriving developer ecosystems internally and externally through software development kits, integrations, and marketplaces.
  • Bring deep technical fluency in modern architectural patterns, including event-driven systems, GraphQL federation, and emerging data and AI platforms.
  • Coach, mentor, and build community to elevate architecture culture across the organization.
  • Drive change through influence, balancing pragmatism with innovation and communicating complex ideas simply.
