We are seeking a seasoned, hands-on Principal Platform Architect with 12–15 years of engineering depth to lead the architectural vision across IDfy’s core platform foundations. In this strategic technical leadership role, you will define and execute the technology blueprint spanning AI-native platforms, application architecture, platform core services, and cloud DevOps infrastructure. You will operate at the intersection of distributed systems design, LLM/AI model orchestration, enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines, and high-throughput reliability to power our mission-critical SaaS ecosystem.

Here's What Your Day Would Look Like...

- Architecting AI-Native Platforms: Designing end-to-end architectures for AI-driven platforms, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, model inference pipelines, and intelligent workflow automation across products.
- Core Platform Services Design: Owning the blueprints and shared capabilities for platform core services (identity, orchestration, messaging, event buses, telemetry, and data access layers) to ensure seamless inter-service communication and reuse.
- DevOps Strategy &
- Cloud Architecture: Defining and driving end-to-end cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure),



Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation), and automated multi-environment deployment frameworks.
- CI/CD, DevSecOps &
- Release Engineering: Architecting and optimizing resilient CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI/GitHub Actions/Jenkins), container security scanning, automated quality gates, and zero-downtime deployment strategies.
- Application Architecture &
- System Standards: Defining application design patterns, API-first specifications, microservices standards, and data modeling practices for enterprise-grade SaaS products.
- Kubernetes, Observability &
- Reliability: Designing highly available, fault-tolerant containerized environments using Kubernetes, alongside enterprise-grade observability, telemetry, and automated alerting frameworks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK).
- Cross-Pod Technical Governance: Partnering closely with Engineering Leads, Product Managers, and DevOps/SRE teams to review architecture proposals, resolve technical trade-offs, and enforce best-in-class engineering standards.
- Client &
- Executive Technical Advisory: Stepping into high-stakes enterprise technical discussions with client architects, CTOs, and CIOs to present platform capabilities, integration architectures, and security postures.
- Mentorship &
- Technical Direction: Mentoring senior engineers and tech leads, driving RFCs (Requests for Comments),



and fostering an engineering culture anchored in clean craftsmanship and architectural rigor.

We are the perfect match if you...

- Have 12–15 years of progressive experience across Platform Engineering, Software Architecture, Application Architecture, and Cloud/DevOps infrastructure in high-scale SaaS environments.
- Possess hands-on architectural experience with AI-based systems, including LLM integrations, modern retrieval pipelines, model serving, vector databases, or MLOps frameworks.
- Bring proven expertise designing enterprise-scale Application Architectures and foundational Platform Core Services (APIs, asynchronous messaging, caching, workflow engines, and distributed databases).
- Have deep expertise in cloud platforms (AWS / GCP / Azure), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), and building production-grade infrastructure from scratch.
- Are highly proficient in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and contemporary DevSecOps/CI-CD automation pipelines.
- Are proficient in modern backend languages and frameworks (e.g., Python, Go, Java, or Node.js) and can evaluate system design trade-offs from first principles.
- Understand observability, telemetry, and site reliability engineering (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK) to ensure platform visibility and proactive alerting.
- Can navigate complex technical discussions with enterprise clients, translating high-level business requirements into resilient, secure, and modular software architectures.
- Bring an automation-first mindset with strong ownership, combining high-level strategic architecture vision with the ability to dive deep into code, pipelines, and infrastructure bottlenecks.
