JetBrains - Software Architect (Platform Architecture, JetBrains Cloud Platform)

• Design and evolve the architecture of a cross-product platform that serves as the foundation for AI-driven software development. • Define architectural principles, standards, and guidelines for platform services and shared foundations. • Design integration patterns and interfaces between platform services, developer tools, and external systems. • Ensure architectural decisions support scalability, reliability, security, and observability from the outset. • Own and drive key platform-level architectural decisions and trade-offs (e.g., service boundaries, data flows, identity, policy, tenancy). • Review and validate architectural designs across teams to ensure consistency and long-term sustainability. • Collaborate with other architects and platform specialists to align on shared decisions and evolve the platform architecture over time. • Work closely with senior and staff engineers to translate platform requirements into coherent technical designs and implementation plans. • We are looking for someone who: • Has strong experience in software engineering and system design, especially in complex, distributed systems. • Has experience defining or significantly shaping the architecture of new platforms or large-scale systems. • Is able to facilitate and align architectural decisions across multiple teams, balancing different perspectives and constraints. • Is comfortable working in an environment where many processes and standards are still being formed. • Thinks in long-term horizons and is motivated by building foundations rather than delivering short-term features. • We’d be particularly thrilled if you: • Have hands-on experience designing or evolving platforms based on Kubernetes and cloud environments such as AWS. • Have experience with networking, compute, and storage infrastructure and can reason across application and infrastructure layers. • Enjoy helping teams converge on good solutions rather than enforcing a single “correct” approach. • We process the data provided in your job application in accordance with the Recruitment Privacy Policy.
