Cloud Platform Architect

The Cloud Platform Architect will develop and deliver AWS-based solutions with an initial focus on virtual product development using machine learning, devops, and data integration.

They will work in an SDLC environment with a global team of data scientists, engineers, and product managers who are creating and refining links between tire design and vehicle performance using machine learning and cloud-based solutions. Their tasks will include architecting and developing new solutions supporting machine learning operations and data integration, adding new software functionality to existing tools and cloud platforms, identifying and fixing software issues, delivering service requests, providing incident coverage, and deploying platform releases.

They must be able to use current technologies and methodologies (Agile, XP, or similar) with business subject matter to develop potential technical solutions. They will support the tire design and manufacturing processes in three different technical centers globally.
