This is a hands-on engineering role - you will spend most of your time writing Terraform, Ansible, and Python, Automation and more... not just producing architecture diagrams or reference designs. You will work within an established platform direction set by our Architecture and Engineering Leadership, and your focus will be on implementing, automating, and operating the platform components that bring that direction to life.

You own the health of what you build., • Collaboration: Work closely with Architects, Developers, and Operations to turn requirements and patterns into working code. What This Role Is Not To set clear expectations and avoid mismatched applications: • This is not a Cloud Architect, Solution Architect, or Enterprise Architect role., • You will not set the overall cloud strategy or produce high-level reference architectures., • You will not lead multi-team design forums or own architectural governance.
