• Experience designing systems with scalability, reliability, and cost-performance.

Responsibilities

• Design and build control plane systems responsible for lifecycle management, orchestration, and coordination of distributed infrastructure.
• Define how infrastructure is provisioned, scaled, and managed through APIs and service-based interfaces.
• Shape system behavior around scaling, availability, and multi-environment operation.
• Design identity and access models, including integration patterns with systems such as OIDC, SAML, or similar frameworks.
• Build or extend control mechanisms such as controllers, coordination services, or workflow-driven provisioning systems.
• Contribute to runtime-driven provisioning and lifecycle workflows that respond to system demand.
• Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate development and explore implementation approaches.
• Collaborate with infrastructure engineering to define clear boundaries between system layers.
