About the Role
Purple Fabric is looking for a Platform Distribution Architect to own how Purple Fabric (PF) and MSOCK are packaged, deployed and delivered to enterprise customers. You will shape how our platforms reach customers across multiple public clouds, on-premises environments and different deployment models, including SaaS, PaaS, hybrid and customer-managed deployments. This role combines deep platform architecture expertise with hands-on technical leadership. You will define distribution standards, architect Kubernetes-based deployments and drive CI/CD and release automation, working closely with Product Engineering, DevOps/SRE and Customer Delivery teams to ensure every release is secure, reliable and deployment-ready. What You Will Own 1. Distribution Architecture
• Define reference architectures, packaging standards and deployment patterns for Purple Fabric and MSOCK.
• Establish repeatable distribution approaches across SaaS, PaaS, hybrid and customer-managed environments. 2. Multi-Cloud and On-Premises Readiness
• Drive platform compatibility, infrastructure prerequisites, service and quota assessments, and feature parity across AWS, Azure, GCP and customer data centers.
• Ensure deployment readiness for restricted and air-gapped network environments. 3. Kubernetes Platform Design
• Architect production-grade Kubernetes deployments across EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift and upstream Kubernetes.
• Define cluster topology, networking, security, scaling and upgrade strategies. 4. Infrastructure and Deployment Automation
• Design reusable Infrastructure as Code modules and automated provisioning workflows.
• Establish baseline configurations and secure, repeatable deployment processes. 5. CI/CD and Release Automation
• Own distribution pipelines across build, artifact packaging, versioning, promotion and release orchestration.
• Design blue-green and canary deployment strategies, automated rollback and release traceability. 6. Self-Service Distribution




• Build standard provisioning workflows, templates, tooling and deployment interfaces.
• Reduce manual effort for internal engineering teams and enterprise customers. 7. Upgrades and Migrations
• Architect repeatable upgrade, migration and environment-promotion processes.
• Build in validation, recovery and lifecycle automation. 8. Observability and Reliability
• Define telemetry, SLOs, alerting, resilience, capacity and incident-readiness requirements across distributed deployments. 9. Security and Compliance
• Embed DevSecOps practices throughout the delivery pipeline, including SBOMs, image signing and scanning, secrets management, infrastructure hardening and policy as code. 10. Distribution Assurance and Cost Efficiency
• Own certification criteria, deployment acceptance checks, technical documentation and L3 platform escalations.
• Guide infrastructure sizing and deployment architecture to improve utilisation and cloud cost efficiency. 11. Collaboration and Technical Leadership
• Partner with Product Engineering on release requirements, DevOps/SRE on operational readiness and Customer Delivery on deployment and handover.
• Mentor engineers and lead architecture and design reviews. What You Bring
• Multi-cloud architecture: Hands-on architecture and deployment experience across at least two major public cloud platforms — AWS, Azure or GCP — covering networking, compute, storage, identity and security.
• Kubernetes and containers: Strong production experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Helm and cloud-native deployment patterns.




• CI/CD and release automation: Proven experience designing build, packaging, versioning, promotion and rollback pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
• Infrastructure as Code: Proficiency with Terraform, Ansible or equivalent provisioning and configuration tools.
• Deployment architecture: Experience delivering repeatable deployments across SaaS, PaaS, hybrid and customer-managed environments, including configuration, upgrades and lifecycle automation.
• Observability and reliability: Hands-on knowledge of metrics, logs, tracing, alerting and SLOs, using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana or OpenTelemetry.
• Programming and scripting: Working knowledge of at least one programming or scripting language, such as Python, Go, Bash or PowerShell.
• Core technical fundamentals: Robust understanding of Linux, networking, DNS, load balancing, Git workflows and security fundamentals. Good to Have
• Experience deploying enterprise platforms in customer data centers, VMware or bare-metal environments, private clouds such as OpenStack, and air-gapped networks.
• Familiarity with GitOps tools such as Argo CD or Flux, and artifact management platforms such as Artifactory, Nexus, Harbor and OCI registries.
• Experience building internal tools, CLIs, Kubernetes operators or integrations using Go or Python.
• Understanding of FinOps practices, including cloud cost visibility, rightsizing, capacity planning and cost-aware architecture.
• Experience delivering platforms in regulated environments with standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2 or PCI DSS. Interested? If you have experience architecting and automating enterprise platform distributions across cloud and customer-managed environments, we'd like to hear from you.
