We are looking for a highly experienced Senior Solution Architect Manager to own the architecture, delivery, and continuous evolution of our hybrid (on premises + Azure) infrastructure and internal developer platform within the Global Platform Design and Engineering organization.
This is a senior individual-contributor role with a balanced mix of hands-on technical delivery and technical leadership. The successful candidate will design and ship platform capabilities, set architectural direction, and raise the engineering standard across global teams — with deep expertise in Azure, Kubernetes, advanced networking, Terraform, modern CI/CD, API management, identity, security, messaging, data platforms, FinOps, and AI-powered developer platforms.
Hands-on Technical Delivery
Design, build, and operate core platform and infrastructure services end-to-end as reliable, secure, cost-efficient, self-service capabilities across hybrid environments.
Own production outcomes including reliability (SLIs/SLOs), observability, incident response, security, and FinOps (cost visibility, optimization, and accountability).
Own and evolve the Azure API Management (APIM) platform, including policy design, security, versioning, and developer experience.
Embed security-by-default and FinOps principles across identity, networking, secrets management, and the software supply chain.
Drive modern delivery practices across CI/CD, GitOps, environment automation, and developer experience.
Technical Leadership & Architecture
Own and continuously evolve the reference architecture, golden paths, and engineering standards for the hybrid on premises + Azure environment, with strong emphasis on security, identity, and cost efficiency.
Partner with enterprise architecture, security, product, FinOps, and engineering leadership to align platform direction with business, security, and cost priorities.
The Internal Developer Platform is more self-service, reliable, secure, cost-efficient, and productive for engineering teams.
Architecture and standards are clear, executable, security-focused, and consistently followed across the hybrid environment.
Core Platform & Cloud Expertise
Expert-level Azure Cloud Architect with deep knowledge of Azure services, identity, networking, and hybrid connectivity.
Deep hands-on experience with Azure API Management (APIM), including policy configuration, security, versioning, and platform operations.
Proven success designing, operating, and evolving internal developer platforms (self-service, golden paths, adoption, and platform-as-product mindset).
Hands-on experience with Microsoft Foundry (Azure AI Foundry), GitHub Copilot, and GitHub Enterprise Managed Users, with the ability to integrate these into an enterprise Internal Developer Platform.
Infrastructure, Networking, Security & FinOps
Deep hands-on expertise in cloud and platform security, including identity and access management, secrets and workload identity, network security, policy-as-code, and secure software supply chain practices.
Strong practical FinOps experience: cost visibility, optimization, budgeting, and embedding cost accountability into platform design and operations.
Messaging, Data & Architecture
Demonstrated experience designing and evolving systems using monolith, micro-services, micro-frontend, and event-driven architectures.
Software Engineering & Production Ownership
Strong production ownership experience, including defining SLIs/SLOs, building observability, leading incident response, and reducing operational toil.
Education and Certifications
Bachelor’s degree in information security, Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field(Equivalent experience may be considered)
