Role Summary

The Staff Infrastructure Architect is a senior individual contributor reporting directly to the CTO. This role defines the standards for how Fleetworthy's production environments are designed, operate, and connect, covering infrastructure architecture, networking between systems, reliability, observability, and AI infrastructure and platforming. Standards set here are implemented across the organization.

This role is a peer to the Staff Software Architect. One owns how applications are built, the other owns how the environments they run on are designed and operated. Neither owns delivery. Both set the standards the organizations execute against.

Key Areas of Responsibility

Define and own the infrastructure architecture vision across Fleetworthy's production environments, including how systems are designed, connected, and operated
Establish centralized observability standards adopted across all teams
Define standards for how AI workloads are hosted, scaled, and integrated across the organization
Advise on security architecture, partnering with the security manager to ensure infrastructure decisions align with compliance requirements
Work alongside embedded architects in Technical Operations, setting standards and providing guidance
Partner closely with the Staff Software Architect to maintain clear, complementary standards across both domains

What We Are Looking For

Deep expertise in infrastructure architecture, production systems design, and networking
Strong background in observability, reliability engineering, automation, and production operations at scale
Experience with AI infrastructure and platforming, with an eye toward architecture and security alignment
Ability to define and socialize standards across multiple teams
Strong prioritization skills, with a track record of focusing on the changes that will have the most meaningful impact
Ability to influence and align across teams
Demonstrated empathy for the teams implementing the standards they set, understanding and caring about the cost and impact of architectural decisions on others
Clear communicator across infrastructure, development, and non-technical audiences

What Success Looks Like

Production environment standards are clearly defined and consistently adopted across the organization
Observability is centralized and providing meaningful operational visibility across all platforms
AI infrastructure and platform patterns are established with clear architecture and security alignment
The boundary with the Staff Software Architect is clear, with no ambiguity about ownership
Embedded architects and leadership across the organization view this role as a trusted resource and point of clarity on infrastructure decisions
Security is embedded in how infrastructure is designed, not addressed after the fact
