Our take: The real work here is setting architectural direction for a growing fleet of single-tenant environments, reducing operational toil, and lifting engineering maturity through influence across teams.
If you light up designing the systems behind systems, this is a role where your architectural judgement shapes how a whole fleet of customer environments stays reliable and secure as it grows. You will set direction, reduce toil with reusable patterns, and lift the technical maturity of teams through influence rather than orders. It is remote, high trust, and built for someone who thinks in decades, not sprints.
