- Provide insights into the rationale behind architectural decisions and foster alignment across teams.
- Work with your assigned product teams on architectural and technical convergence.
- Work with our customers and partner organizations on platform level integration of technologies with Seequent.
- Contribute to Architecture Team documentation.
To be successful in this role, you should have:
-
5+ years as an architect (or equivalent) for one or more large scale SaaS providers or a cloud hyper-scaler.
-
An additional 5+ years' experience as a software developer (or equivalent).
- Proven problem solving and lateral thinking abilities at the Platform or System Architecture Level.
- Experience working to improve scalability, availability and performance in a cloud environment.
- Experience developing, documenting and communication an architectural strategy for a significant, global, cloud-based SaaS solution.
