• Engage with customers and internal stakeholders to gather requirements for complex systems to manage and monitor power in datacenters.
• Focus on ‘Big Picture’ and long-term viability to create robust, extensible, scalable and enduring architectures to address the identified requirements.
• Choose platforms, frameworks and tools that optimally fit the system requirements. 
• Architect high performance real-time systems spanning the embedded world through to cloud to balance ideal engineering with real world constraints.
• Perform trade-off analyses between simplicity vs scalability, cost vs speed of delivery, monolith vs microservices etc.
• Create all necessary documentation to support software architecture definition, including high-level block diagrams, data flow diagrams, logic diagrams etc.
• Clearly communicate architecture rationale to team members and stakeholders.
• Drive continuous improvement in software development process through adoption of the latest, best in class methods and tools including AI.
• Mentor team members from junior to senior and staff level.

Minimum candidate requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 15+ years of experience in the full lifecycle of software development from requirements gathering and analysis through design, development, and product release.
