Resumo da oferta

Symbotic is seeking a Principal Cloud Architect to define and drive cloud architecture strategy on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) within the Platform Engineering team. This hands-on leader will prototype solutions, review designs, and collaborate with engineers to land scalable, secure platforms for thousands of instances and petabyte-scale data.

Based in Wilmington, MA, the role emphasizes self-service platforms, FinOps, and AI-powered engineering while partnering with security, DevOps, and

Qualificações

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
Minimum of 12 years designing and implementing enterprise and cloud architectures, including at least one large-scale cloud migration or platform modernization you personally led.
Minimum of 5 years in a Principal Architect, Lead Architect, or equivalent senior technical leadership role.
Deep expertise with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) including GKE, IAM, VPC design, and data services - or demonstrated depth on AWS/Azure with clear ability to lead on GCP.
Proven experience operating at high scale: rapid, automated provisioning of large fleets and architectures handling very large data volumes and traffic.
Strong experience with Kubernetes, containers, microservices, distributed systems, and APIs.
Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred) and GitOps-driven delivery.
Experience building self-service Platform Engineering, CI/CD, and DevOps solutions adopted by multiple engineering teams.
Strong understanding of cloud security and isolation models, identity, networking, observability, disaster recovery, and backup/snapshot strategies.
Cloud cost management / FinOps experience at enterprise scale.
Exceptional communication, executive influence, and architecture governance experience and able to explain complex architecture decisions to executives and win alignment across engineering organizations.

Responsabilidades

Define and govern enterprise cloud architecture and cloud-native platform standards on GCP, and own the multi-year cloud platform roadmap.
Architect for hyperscale growth: design provisioning, networking, and data architectures that scale rapidly and elastically to hundreds or thousands of instances and petabyte-scale daily data volumes.
Lead large-scale cloud migration and modernization, moving 100+ existing environments to GCP alongside greenfield, Kubernetes-based platform initiatives from strategy through production adoption.
Build a true self-service platform, not a ticket-driven service: developer self-service, golden paths, resource-pool provisioning with guardrails, and the validation and merge-visibility controls that protect platform stability.
Partner with the Security team to establish workload isolation across cloud resource hierarchies, secure disaster recovery, and snapshot/backup capabilities that ensure rapid recovery.
Own cloud cost optimization and FinOps: design for efficiency so the platform delivers maximum capability within a disciplined budget.
Champion AI-powered engineering - from AI-assisted development to intelligent, automated operations - so a small team can do more with less.
Drive Platform Engineering capabilities including CI/CD, GitOps, and Infrastructure as Code that measurably improve developer velocity.
Provide technical leadership, mentor engineers and architects, run architecture review forums, and influence enterprise technology strategy with executive leadership.
