## About the role

Own Cross-Departmental Technical Strategy : Define and evolve the multi-quarter technical roadmap for k0rdent as a whole. Ensure that decisions made in core k0rdent, AI Infrastructure, and AI Apps compose into a coherent platform rather than four parallel tracks. Identify the architectural bets that will let k0rdent scale across customers, clouds, hardware generations, and workload types, and drive consensus on which to make.

## What they're looking for

- Systems Architecture : Demonstrated ability to design large-scale, multi-tenant systems that span multiple subsystems and hold up under real production conditions, and to communicate those designs clearly in writing
- Technical Strategy: Ability to look two to three years ahead, identify the architectural decisions that matter most across a broad surface area, and sequence them against business reality
- Influence Without Authority : Track record of driving technical direction across multiple teams and organizations through clarity, credibility, and collaboration rather than reporting lines
- Mentorship: Demonstrated success developing senior engineers — Staff, Principal, and Tech Lead level — and raising the technical bar of an organization
- Communication: Ability to explain complex technical tradeoffs clearly to engineers, executives, customers, and the broader community, in both writing and conversation
- Business Judgment: Solid understanding of how engineering decisions translate into cost, revenue, and risk, and willingness to weight technical choices accordingly
