Architect – Platform Engineering
Who You'll Work With
At Slalom, personal connection meets global scale. Our vision is to enable a world in which everyone loves their work and life. We help organizations of all kinds redefine what’s possible, give shape to the future—and get there.
Within Slalom, our Build capability helps customers maximize the value of the software they create. We do this by…
- Being fast, effective, high-quality, and consistent
- Evolving our software development lifecycle by blending cutting-edge AI tooling with outcome-focused strategic thinking
- Delivering end-to-end to our customers at any scale and at any point in their journey.
You will be a Director to join our Americas team in the Platform Engineering (PE) discipline. Our PE engineers build the secure automation capabilities that enable our application and data engineers to unveil their products to the world. Our goal is to create the platform to make a product smart, secure, and fast, while minimizing toil.
You'll be leading all aspects of a PE team located in one of our physical locations. A PE location team consists of up to 20+ people as a mix of people managers and individual contributor engineers, each focused on a single client's outcome. Success in this role requires a variety of skills such as: Building and leading teams in your location, establishing relationships with Slalom and client leaders, and being a key team member in initiatives.
What You’ll Do
In PE, an Architect provides automation and DevOps expertise in the form of hands-on technical leadership on multi-functional project teams. Your role is to supercharge a team’s output through applying your experience in creating scalable, resilient, and automated solutions. Specifically, you will:
- Act as a hands-on, technical lead for a development pod of engineers on multi-functional teams, creating purpose-built software products for our clients.
- Work directly with client and Slalom teams by leading the design and delivery of major components of a modern Platform Engineering solution.
- Provide domain expertise in DevOps culture, tooling, delivery methods, and cultural practices within Slalom Build as well as with our clients.
- Drive work effort estimation and story pointing to align to user and business goals at each phase of an Agile project.
- Develop project/technology case studies, training materials, and technical guidance for Slalom project teams.
- Participate in internal Slalom events or initiatives.
- Help grow our culture of learning by taking part in and coordinating opportunities such as presenting at technical conferences, community groups, writing blog articles, and contributing to partner-coordinated workshops
- We are looking for candidates who are interested in working in a hybrid environment as we build the foundation and grow our team in Mexico. We offer a flexible working environment to balance the need to work independently, with days that may require in-person collaboration at our office.
What You’ll Bring
Architects in PE bring experience as an architect across software engineering and DevOps in production in at least one major public cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure). We will tap into your knowledge of designing and implementing end-to-end continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines as well as your experience in configuration management and infrastructure as code (e.g., Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM, etc.) Security is part of everything we do and will require your knowledge of fundamental cloud security (e.g., identity and access management, firewalls, etc.) as we build for our customers.
As an Architect you will collaborate across multiple functional and/or technical teams to deliver an Agile-based project. You will be leveraging your growth mentality, bringing enthusiasm about learning new technologies quickly, and applying your gained knowledge to address practical business problems for your customer. Showing your ability to lead conversations with clients on a business level and translate their needs into technical solutions will be what maximizes velocity for the team.
