Cloud Infrastructure Engineer - Vice President

The Platform Infrastructure team at iCapital is responsible for designing, standardizing, and evolving the core infrastructure that powers our global technology stack. As Vice President, Platform Infrastructure Architecture, you will serve as a senior individual contributor architect, helping define and evolve the technical standards that underpin our Kubernetes platforms, cloud networking, edge services, and API access patterns. 

This role is architecture-first, with regular hands-on involvement to validate designs through reference implementations and proof-of-concept project work . You will work closely with Platform Infrastructure engineers and application teams to ensure that platform capabilities are scalable, secure, and consistent across regions, while remaining practical to operate. 

 

Responsibilities 

• Evolve platform architecture standards across core infrastructure domains.  

• Design and validate Kubernetes platform architecture, including cluster lifecycle, autoscaling strategies, node provisioning, and OS standards (e.g., EKS, Karpenter, Bottlerocket).  

• Define cloud networking architecture patterns, including VPC design, routing, ingress/egress, TGW design and private connectivity.  

• Own architectural guidance for edge and traffic management, including CDN, DNS, and TLS strategies (e.g., Akamai, Cloudflare).
