• Lead the development and optimization of Container- and Virtual Machine-based deployment platforms for cloud-native deployments
• Develop automation that standardizes infrastructure provisioning and management across all business units.
• Champion a collaborative, cross-functional development culture by guiding teams through architectural trade-offs and fostering alignment between engineering, product, and business stakeholders.
• Develop deep domain expertise in high-compliance industries and apply this knowledge to architect secure, compliant mobile solutions that optimize cloud usage and meet regulatory requirements.
• Continuously evaluate and introduce emerging technologies, frameworks, and tools that improve the performance, maintainability, and user experience of virtual mobile solutions and their supporting platforms.
• Maintain expert-level understanding of Infrastructure as code practices and tools, CI/CD, and cloud-native platform design to guide technical decisions and innovation.
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance that elevates infrastructure engineering practices across all teams.
• Protect intellectual property, user data, and system integrity by (a) adhering to Hypori's policies and procedures for secure software development and (b) following best practices for secure product design, implementation, and deployment of development, build, test, production, and other environments.
• Candidates would be expected to participate periodically in an on-call, production assistance and escalation schedule
• Candidates are expected to have some level of competency in using LLM tools (e.g. Claude Code, etc.).
