Responsibilities

Develop and maintain a clear, evolving view of enterprise infrastructure, services, and architectural patterns, helping teams understand how systems fit together today and where they are heading.
Crystallize and communicate architectural principles that reflect how the organization builds and operates systems-grounded in real-world practices across teams rather than top-down mandates.
Partner with platform, infrastructure, and product engineering teams to build shared understanding of how systems interoperate, helping teams make informed design decisions that support a broader, cohesive architecture.
Act as a connector across teams, facilitating conversations that lead to alignment without requiring formal authority; build consensus around direction, tradeoffs, and priorities.
Help identify high-value areas for Builder Enablement investment, creating the foundation for engineers to develop paved paths such as templates, tooling, and reusable components.
Mentor engineers and architects across the organization, helping them develop stronger architectural thinking, navigate ambiguity, and make better tradeoffs.
Deep, hands-on experience building software or platform systems in a production environment.
Experience working across multiple teams to build alignment and shared understanding without direct authority
Experience partnering with engineering teams to influence design decisions and improve system consistency over time
A track record of challenging assumptions constructively and helping teams evolve how they build and operate systems
