Position Overview

We are looking for an experienced Solution Architect to join a high-impact developer platform enablement team driving large-scale transformation across the organization. In this role, you will operate at the intersection of client enablement, solution architecture, and platform adoption, helping engineering teams successfully onboard to modern developer platforms and improve their software delivery workflows. A key focus will be supporting large-scale source control and developer tooling migrations (e.g. Git-based platforms). In parallel, you will drive broader adoption across CI/CD, developer tooling ecosystems, and workflow optimization, ensuring teams not only migrate, but effectively leverage the platform. You will work closely with engineering teams to translate complex environments into practical solutions, while identifying patterns and standardizing approaches that can be reused across the organization. The goal is not to deliver one-off implementations, but to create scalable solutions that transform how the organization adopts and uses the platform. Beyond technical implementation, you will play a critical role in reducing developer friction, improving productivity, and enabling teams to operate independently on the platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a trusted advisor, building strong relationships and owning successful outcomes end-to-end
• Understand client landscapes, workflows, and constraints, translating them into actionable adoption strategies
• Lead and support large-scale migrations (e.g., SCM, CI/CD, and tooling transitions) as part of broader platform adoption
• Guide teams through complex transformations, balancing immediate delivery with long-term platform alignment
• Navigate real-world challenges including legacy systems, edge cases, and organizational constraints
• Design end-to-end solutions spanning source control and GitHub platform adoption, CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling ecosystems, APIs, integrations, and automation frameworks, and cloud and infrastructure services
• Ensure solutions are scalable, reusable, and aligned with internal standards
• Identify and eliminate friction in developer workflows
• Improve efficiency through automation, standardization, and modern tooling (including AI-assisted development)
• Reduce manual steps, repeated debugging, and operational overhead
• Identify patterns across engagements and convert them into reusable templates, tooling, and service offerings
• Contribute to building standardized approaches (e.g., "Migration Factory" and beyond) to scale adoption
• Work closely with platform, product, and engineering teams
• Identify and drive resolution of cross-team dependencies
• Influence technical direction through strong collaboration while respecting product and platform ownership boundaries
• Work side-by-side with engineering teams during onboarding and transformation
• Transfer knowledge continuously to build team capability and confidence
• Ensure teams can operate independently following engagement

Qualifications

• Proven ability to lead technical discovery and communicate complex concepts clearly
• Strong solution architecture expertise across platforms, integrations, and cloud environments
• Strong experience with platform engineering, internal developer platforms, or shared services
• Experience supporting or leading large-scale developer platform migrations or adoptions (e.g., tooling transitions, repository migrations, CI/CD transformations)
• Experience designing or working with CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and developer tooling ecosystems
• Demonstrated ability to coach and enable teams, leaving them more self-sufficient
