About this role
We're looking for a seasoned Software Architect with a strong SaaS background to lead architecture across our platform group.
This is a dual-focus role that blends deep domain ownership with company-wide architectural responsibility. You'll be embedded in the Products Platform group, reporting to the group manager and collaborating closely with product managers, team leads, and engineers, while also serving as an active member of the Architecture Team, partnering with architects across other domains. The Platform Group owns cross-product capabilities consumed by internal teams, external customers, and third-party integrators. This means you'll be challenged with building reusable, well-documented, and easily adoptable solutions that align with industry best practices. Our teams embrace AI as a core part of how they work. You'll be expected to leverage AI tools at every stage - from research and design to implementation and optimization. At the same time, we believe strongly in genuine human ownership: you'll be expected to develop a thorough understanding of the system, its components, and its codebase. You'll define and drive the architectural vision for the platform domain, while ensuring it stays aligned with Cloudinary's broader technical strategy, standards, and long-term direction.
