• Collaborate across engineering, product, and operations to ensure alignment between architecture and business goals. 
• Mentor engineers, fostering technical growth and promoting sound engineering judgment across the team. 
• Champion simplicity, consistency, and scalability across all architectural and implementation decisions. 

Qualifications  

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including several years in a Staff or Senior Staff capacity. 
• Proficiency in Ruby (specifically Rails), with Python being a bonus. 
• Proven experience designing and scaling distributed systems or platform-level architectures. 
• Deep expertise in: 
  - Kubernetes (k3s/k8s) and container orchestration. 
  - CI/CD pipelines, automation, and infrastructure-as-code. 
  - API design, integration patterns, and microservice communication. 
• Demonstrated ability to lead architectural initiatives that span multiple systems or teams. 
• Strong collaboration, communication, and mentoring skills. 

Preferred Qualifications  

• Experience with data synchronization, event-driven systems, or pipeline automation.
