IAM Architect

Openkyber

Principal Platform Architect Location: Toronto, Ontario , Canada - Remote Long Term Contract Department: Cloud Infrastructure & Platform Engineering Job Purpose

As 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 5G network functions and enterprise cloud services.

Key Responsibilities
  • Architectural 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 Qualifications
  • Experience: 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 modern security standards (OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, SPIFFE/SPIRE, and Role-Based Access Control).
  • Observability Stacks: Hands-on architectural experience with modern observability tooling (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, etc.).
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience 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).
