Long Term ContractJob PurposeAs a Principal Platform Architect, you will define the architectural blueprint for our next-generation, high-performance cloud platforms. You will bridge the gap between traditional telecom infrastructure and modern cloud-native environments, designing highly resilient distributed systems that power global 5 G network functions and enterprise cloud services.Key ResponsibilitiesArchitectural Leadership: Define the multi-year technical roadmap for cloud-native platforms, driving the transition from legacy architectures to modern distributed systems.Platform Design: Architect large-scale, high-throughput containerized environments utilizing Kubernetes to run critical cloud-native functions directly on bare-metal and hybrid cloud infrastructures.Security & Identity Governance: Design robust identity management, Zero Trust frameworks, and end-to-end security architectures to secure highly distributed cloud environments.Observability & Reliability: Implement comprehensive observability strategies (metrics, logs, traces) to ensure 99.999% uptime, deep system visibility, and automated fault resolution.Technical Mentorship: Act as a principal subject matter expert, guiding engineering teams through complex design reviews, mentoring senior engineers,



and collaborating with global R&D; centers.Required QualificationsExperience: 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 4+ years acting as a Principal or Enterprise Architect for massive-scale platforms.Cloud-Native & Containers: Deep, production-proven expertise in Kubernetes, container runtimes, and the broader CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) ecosystem.Distributed Systems: Mastery in designing distributed, fault-tolerant, and horizontally scalable systems with an understanding of consensus protocols, data replication, and low‑latency networking.Identity & Security: Advanced knowledge of contemporary security standards (OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, SPIFFE/SPIRE, and Role-Based Access Control).Observability Stacks: Hands‑on architectural experience with modern observability tooling (Open Telemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, etc.).Preferred QualificationsExperience working within telecommunications cloud standards (e.G., Cloud Native Network Functions - CNFs).Active participation or contributions to open‑source CNCF projects.Familiarity with major hyperscaler environments (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure).#J-18808-Ljbffr
