Executive Director, Platform Architecture leads the Platform Architecture team, overseeing technical strategy and standards for infrastructure domains including cloud, on-premises, networking, compute, storage, and observability. This leadership role involves managing a team of principal architects to develop enterprise-wide platform standards rather than siloed expertise. The successful candidate will translate resilience objectives and regulatory obligations into actionable strategies while driving adoption across Engineering and Operations. Key responsibilities include defining reference architectures, governing non-functional requirements like fault tolerance and disaster recovery, and leading infrastructure modernization through cloud adoption and GitOps practices. The role requires expertise in AWS services, Kubernetes, Apache Kafka, and Apache Flink, alongside proficiency in Terraform, Helm, and ArgoCD. This position addresses the critical challenge of building a resilient, scalable foundation for market functions while ensuring compliance with Regulation SCI and CPMI-IOSCO principles.
