Requirements
8+ years of progressive experience in software engineering and architecture, with demonstrated progression into senior technical leadership roles (e.g., Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, or Lead Architect embedded within a product engineering organization).
Experience working embedded within a product engineering team, contributing directly to design, implementation, and delivery — not solely in an advisory or governance capacity.
Experience owning architectural direction for large-scale, distributed, multi-service platforms serving enterprise customers.
Demonstrated leadership in modernization, re-architecture, or structural platform evolution initiatives.
Experience designing systems operating at enterprise data scale (petabyte scale or equivalent).
Background in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments where auditability and risk materially influence system design — financial services, fintech, payments, or equivalent.
Practical experience integrating AI/ML or LLM-based services into distributed systems
