• A track record of architecting and implementing large-scale, distributed systems serving thousands of users

• Deep experience with cloud platforms (AWS), including networking, security, and serverless services

• Hands-on expertise with containerization and orchestration (Kubernetes, service mesh, advanced orchestration patterns)

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code at scale, using tools like Terraform Enterprise or custom-built solutions

• Working knowledge of CI/CD platform architecture, including Jenkins Enterprise, GitHub Actions, and custom pipeline orchestration

• Understanding of microservices architecture, event-driven patterns, and the challenges of platform scalability

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical topics clearly to varied audiences, including senior leadership

• Degree or equivalent relevant experience required. Experience will be evaluated based on the core competencies for the role (e.g. extracurricular leadership roles, military experience, volunteer roles, work experience, etc.)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience on large-scale Salesforce implementations for enterprise customers

• Familiarity with the wider Salesforce ecosystem, including MuleSoft and Tableau

• Experience with modern data platforms — data lakes, streaming platforms like Kafka

• Professional experience with additional languages such as Python or Node.js
