Qualifications

• Extensive experience designing or materially evolving distributed systems at meaningful scale.
• Ability to explain the architecture, tradeoffs, and outcomes of systems you designed or changed.
• Experience evolving live, customer-facing systems while maintaining reliability and minimizing disruption.
• Strong breadth across service APIs, distributed architecture, storage, compute, networking, and operational characteristics.
• Proven ability to translate ambiguous customer or business problems into practical technical solutions.
• Demonstrated influence across multiple engineering teams without relying on formal authority.

• Translate ambiguous customer and workload requirements into clear technical strategy, architecture, and execution priorities.
• Drive pragmatic build, adopt, extend, reuse, and simplify decisions across a broad service portfolio.
• Lead the evolution of production systems, addressing architectural limits, technical debt, operational risk, and scale without disrupting customers.
• Partner with engineering leaders across messaging, streaming, workflow, search, resource intelligence, and adjacent platform teams.
• Establish reusable architecture, interfaces, patterns, and technical mechanisms adopted across multiple teams.
• Drive decisions involving partitioning, replication, consistency, durability, failure handling, backpressure, latency, capacity, and customer isolation.
• Improve operational resilience through thoughtful design for observability, deployment, upgrades, incident response, cost, and operational toil.
• Mentor engineers and architects, strengthening technical depth and multiplying the effectiveness of the broader organization.
