Define and evolve the cloud native architecture for Pure Storage Cloud services with a multi-cloud readiness approach.
Own service and platform boundaries, APIs, state management, data durability, and deployment strategies including CI/CD pipelines.
Establish and enforce platform standards for security, identity, networking, and compliance aligned with Azure best practices.
Collaborate with teams on design reviews, operational readiness, SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and incident learnings to improve architecture robustness.
Shape cloud infrastructure and developer platform, including workload isolation, upgrades, multi-cluster and multi-region strategies, and automation patterns.
Work cross-functionally to translate product requirements into scalable architectures, lead threat modeling, and support complex customer escalations.
Requirements
8 years of experience in software, platform, or infrastructure engineering, including 4 years designing and operating cloud native distributed systems.
Strong hands-on experience on at least one major public cloud, with Azure strongly preferred.
