Platform Architect
Embedding VC, San Francisco Bay Area
The role
The company operates 2000+ microservices deployed across dozens of compliance-regulated sites globally. They are transforming this into a modular financial cloud platform — organizing services into 50-100 independently versioned business modules, where each compliance site is a version set (a pinned, validated combination of module versions).
As Platform Architect, you will own the version engineering and module governance architecture — the system that ensures every deployment is reproducible, every change's blast radius is computable, and every site composition is a known-good state. This is fundamentally a build systems + dependency management + change propagation problem at financial-grade reliability.
What you will do
- Design the version set model: each site defined as a locked, tested combination of module versions (analogous to a Bazel workspace snapshot or Cargo.lock), with version compatibility matrices and automatic constraint solving
- Architect reproducible build pipelines:
