Principal Platform AWS Architect

JOB SUMMARY

You'll architect and build our enterprise platform for data, machine learning, and agentic AI. This is a 100% hands-on technical leadership role — not a theoretical one (think builder, not TOGAF/Zachman framework guru).

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Define architectural patterns, enterprise standards, and engineering best practices
• Write code to add features to the platform in Python and Terraform
• Balance the needs of individual AI use cases against broader platform principles
• Design automated processes for reproducibility, auditability, and traceability
• Apply deep expertise across DevOps, MLOps, CI/CD, and platform automation
• Cut through complex, contradictory information to make sound technical decisions
• Navigate the policy, people, and process dynamics that come with enterprise-scale work

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science (required)
• 10+ years of relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• A career that began in software engineering and evolved into architecture by leading teams that built large, multi-tenant, and high-throughput applications
• Expert-level software engineering, Python, and computational algorithms.
• Deep AWS expertise and fluency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, YAML)
• Ability to quickly build expertise in the platform's technologies, such as Databricks, Lang Graph, etc.
• A self-starter mindset — you learn new tech quickly, prove its value with a POC, and build the business case to scale it

TRAVEL REQUIRED

Minimal travel is required for this position (up to 10% of the time and on a domestic basis).
