As a Cloud Solutions Architect
You will join a highly motivated and experienced team and think through scaling our platform from a small pilot to enterprise scale. You will architect for tens of thousands of users on AWS, design the caching, multi-region, and federation strategies that keep the platform fast and resilient across geographies, and ensure the architecture meets the security and access-control needs of sensitive content. We are looking for people who can bring a strong, consulting, and solution-focused mindset and contribute to architectural decisions, best practices, and get things done.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect the platform for enterprise scale (tens of thousands of users) on AWS.
- Evaluate scalability of the Postgres/Supabase backend; design caching tiers, multi-region, and global federation as needed.
- Own the load-testing strategy and responsiveness targets across geographies.
- Ensure the architecture meets security and access-control needs for sensitive content.
- Produce architecture diagrams, decision records, and technical standards.
- Guide and mentor engineers on cloud best practices and patterns.
- Define non-functional requirements (availability, resilience, cost, observability).
- Partner with security and compliance to meet enterprise controls.
- Support build-vs-buy decisions and technology evaluations.
