About the Role

We are hiring a Platform Architect to design and evolve internal platform infrastructure at hyperscale. You will own the architecture for build systems, dependency management, artifact infrastructure, and deployment platforms that support large engineering organizations.

Responsibilities

• Design large-scale build systems serving 500+ engineers and 1,000+ packages/services
• Implement reproducible, hermetic build practices across the platform
• Build and operate service dependency management systems that track dependencies across hundreds of microservices
• Define version governance and compatibility management (version set models, semantic versioning enforcement, BOM management)
• Implement GitOps deployment workflows with automated promotion gates across multiple environments and regions
• Design artifact registry architecture — storage, promotion, signing, and distribution
• Drive supply chain security practices (SLSA, SBOM, artifact signing and verification) in production
• Establish API contract management: schema evolution, contract testing, and backward compatibility enforcement
• Lead monorepo and large-scale module governance, and drive platform evolution through 10x+ growth

Requirements

• Current or recent experience building internal platform infrastructure at a hyperscaler or large-scale cloud-native organization
• Hands-on experience with large-scale build systems and reproducible/hermetic builds
• Experience with service dependency management at scale
• Experience with version governance and compatibility management for multi-module platforms
• Experience implementing GitOps and multi-environment deployment workflows
• Experience designing artifact storage, promotion, signing, and distribution systems
• Working knowledge of supply chain security (SLSA, SBOM) in production environments
• Experience with API contract management (protobuf/gRPC/OpenAPI)
• Experience managing code organization and tooling for large engineering organizations

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with financial or regulated workloads (SOX, PCI-DSS, SOC 2)
• Multi-region / multi-tenant platform architecture experience
• Monolith-to-modular decomposition experience
• Proficiency in Go, Rust, or systems-level languages
• Experience with Bazel, Buck, Pants, or Nx at scale
