• You will introduce AI-enabled capabilities to solve engineering and business problems by identifying high-value use cases, enabling AI adoption and AI-led development practices across teams, and delivering measurable outcomes.
• You will build and ship agentic systems that can plan, execute, and collaborate with humans safely with robust controls, and help build core AI capabilities to scale adoption.
• You will lead initiatives from a technical front, defining target architectures, establishing modernization patterns, and driving execution across engineering teams. You will design and implement cloud-native solutions, modern infrastructure platforms, and secure cloud environments that can support global-scale workloads.
• This role operates in a mission-driven model, where you will engage with multiple teams to accelerate modernization, unblock critical initiatives, and establish patterns and platforms that can be adopted broadly across the organization.
• You will work closely with architecture, platform, infrastructure, security, and product teams to modernize legacy systems, migrate databases and applications to the cloud, introduce modern DevOps and platform engineering practices, and raise the overall cloud maturity of the organization.
• Your work will directly shape the company’s future cloud platform and engineering velocity.

Кто вы

• You are a seasoned Cloud and Modernization Architect with a strong sense of ownership and accountability. You are comfortable operating in complex enterprise environments and driving large-scale transformation initiatives.

• You balance long-term architectural vision with pragmatic execution and understand how to modernize systems safely and incrementally.
• You embrace change and continuously adapt to evolving technologies, architectures, and organizational needs. You are proactive, curious, and comfortable making architectural decisions in ambiguous environments.
• You thrive in cross-team environments and influence teams through technical leadership, clarity, and strong execution.
