WHO WE ARE HIRING: (Senior) Director – Product Infrastructure Architecture (Cloud & SaaS Platforms) - Hybrid/Remote

What You Will Do

Our hands‑on (Senior) Director of Product Infrastructure Architecture will define, build, and evolve the cloud-native infrastructure foundation for world-class, multi-tenant SaaS products. This role requires a builder’s mindset and a product-first approach to infrastructure — designing platforms that are secure, scalable, modular, and open to integrations, while enabling rapid product innovation. The ideal candidate is an out‑of‑the‑box thinker, a hands‑on technologist, and a people leader who actively mentors and elevates other architects. This role leads Infrastructure & Platform Architects (direct and matrix).

Product Infrastructure Architecture (Hands-On)

• Serve as lead infrastructure and platform architect for cloud-based SaaS products
• Design and evolve scalable, resilient, and secure infrastructure architectures
• Translate product and business requirements into infrastructure and platform capabilities
• Stay hands‑on through design reviews, reference implementations, and architectural spikes
• Balance immediate delivery needs with long‑term platform scalability and cost efficiency

Cloud-Centric & Multi-Tenant SaaS Design

• Architect cloud‑first solutions (AWS, Azure, or GCP) using managed and cloud‑native services
• Design and govern multi‑tenancy strategies (isolation models, scaling patterns, tenant lifecycle management)
• Ensure platforms support high availability, disaster recovery, and global scalability
• Optimize for cost efficiency, performance, and operational excellence
• Establish patterns for secure tenant onboarding and runtime isolation

Data Virtualization & Platform Data Architecture

• Design data virtualization and federated data access layers
• Enable real‑time and near‑real‑time access to data across distributed systems
• Minimize data duplication while maintaining performance and security
• Support analytics, reporting, and integration use cases through standardized data access
• Ensure data architectures align with compliance, privacy, and audit requirements

Modern DevOps & Platform Enablement

• Lead architecture for CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, and automation‑first platforms
• Promote DevOps and Platform Engineering best practices
• Enable self‑service environments for product teams
• Partner with SRE and Security teams to ensure reliability and resilience
• Embed observability, monitoring, and automated recovery into the platform

Modular, Open & Integration‑Ready Platforms

• Champion modular infrastructure and platform designs
• Enable API‑first and event‑driven integration patterns
• Design platforms that support rapid integration with third‑party and ecosystem partners
• Define standards for extensibility without sacrificing governance
• Reduce friction for internal and external product innovation

Innovation & Out‑of‑the‑Box Thinking

• Challenge legacy infrastructure and deployment models
• Evaluate emerging cloud and platform technologies
• Identify opportunities to simplify operations through architectural innovation
• Turn experimental ideas into production‑grade, scalable solutions

Architecture Leadership, Team Building & Knowledge Sharing

• Build, mentor, and grow a high‑performing community of infrastructure and platform architects
• Establish architecture forums, guilds, and best‑practice communities
• Promote knowledge sharing and architectural consistency across teams
• Influence technical direction across multiple product teams
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Security, and Operations leadership

Governance, Security & Compliance

• Ensure platforms meet security, privacy, and regulatory requirements
• Define and enforce infrastructure standards and guardrails
• Support audit readiness and operational risk management
• Balance governance with speed and developer autonomy

Required Experience

• 12+ years of experience in infrastructure, platform, or cloud architecture
• 5+ years in a Director / Senior technical leadership role
• Deep hands‑on experience building multi‑tenant SaaS platforms
• Strong expertise in cloud‑native architecture (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Proven experience with data virtualization and distributed data access
• Extensive experience with modern DevOps practices (CI/CD, IaC, automation)
• Demonstrated success mentoring and leading architecture teams or communities
• Strong communication skills across technical and executive audiences

Preferred Experience

• Experience in healthcare or other regulated industries
• Background in platform engineering or SRE
• Experience with container orchestration and service meshes
• Exposure to global, high‑availability SaaS deployments
• Track record of influencing architecture at scale

Leadership Attributes

• Hands‑on, pragmatic, and outcome‑driven
• Innovative, curious, and willing to challenge assumptions
• Strong product mindset applied to infrastructure
• Collaborative leader and mentor
• Comfortable operating in complex, fast‑evolving environments

What Success Looks Like

• A scalable, secure, and cost‑efficient multi‑tenant SaaS platform
• Faster product innovation enabled by modular infrastructure
• Strong architectural alignment across product and platform teams
• A thriving architecture community with shared standards and knowledge
• Improved reliability, performance, and developer productivity

Education and Certification
