We are looking for a Tech Lead who will serve as the overall systems architect for Bizplat - someone who can see across our sprawling service landscape, identify redundancy and fragmentation, and drive consolidation onto well-architected central systems. You will be the technical decision-maker responsible for turning down the overwhelming number of services we've accumulated and replacing them with unified, scalable, and governable platform capabilities. This is a role for a strong technical leader who pairs deep systems design expertise with the judgment to make hard tradeoffs across automation domains.
