A globally recognized technology and manufacturing enterprise is seeking a System Architect – Platform Engineering for a full-time opportunity based onsite in Richardson, TX. This role focuses on designing and standardizing enterprise platform systems across hybrid environments, leveraging technologies such as Kubernetes (OpenShift/Rancher), Terraform, and cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP).
