The Role

The Principal Innovation Enterprise Architect (PIEA) is a senior technical strategist responsible for validating, disqualifying, and proving solution fit across complex enterprise environments. This role is not about selling—it’s about seeing the full web of technical dependencies and constraints that others can’t. The PIEA ensures that what we build is not only visionary but viable, and that it lands with precision inside the customer’s architecture. This role is ideal for a systems-level thinker who can influence both up and down the stack—from C-level technologists to implementation teams.

In the early stages of our business development efforts, the PI/ EA will help ensure we are targeting the right use cases, personas, and business outcomes. They will be a critical bridge between our customers and product management teams. The PI/ EA will work hand in glove with our customer and delivery team, ensuring that each beta program delivers value for our customers and Lumen.

Location

This is a Hybrid position with expectations of being in the Lumen office located at 10401NE 8th Street Bellevue Washington 98004 an estimated 2 to 3 times weekly.

The Main Responsibilities

Evaluate and qualify/disqualify opportunities based on architectural fit, feasibility, and long-term viability.
Serve as the technical conscience of the pursuit—ensuring that proposed solutions are grounded in reality and aligned with customer environments.
Build trusted relationships with senior technologists (e.g., CTOs, enterprise architects) to understand their architecture, constraints, and strategic direction.
Translate high-level “why” into actionable “how” for internal teams, ensuring adoption rather than organ rejection.
Collaborate with Solution Architects, Product Managers, and Innovation Principals to shape offerings that are both desirable and deployable.
Provide architectural leadership across multi-cloud, networking, data center, and Gen AI domains.
Influence product roadmaps by surfacing patterns, blockers, and opportunities observed in the field.

What We Look For in a Candidate

10+ years in enterprise architecture, solution architecture, or technical strategy roles.
Deep experience across cloud, networking, data center, and emerging technologies (e.g., Gen AI).
Proven ability to assess technical fit and disqualify misaligned opportunities early.
Strong consultative skills and ability to influence senior technical stakeholders.
Excellent communication skills—able to translate between business value and technical feasibility.

Preferred:

Experience in innovation programs, beta programs, or early-stage product incubation.
Familiarity with design thinking, agile delivery, and hypothesis-driven development.

Principal Site Reliability Engineer (Remote, US)

About Lumen

We’re looking for top-tier talent and offer the flexibility you need to thrive and deliver lasting impact. Join us as we digitally connect the world and shape the future.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)/ Platform Engineer / DevOps Engineer with deep expertise in Kubernetes to design, implement, and manage high-availability, scalable systems primarily on AWS EKS. In this role, you will leverage tools like Terraform, ArgoCD, and GitHub Actions to automate infrastructure and workflows while implementing progressive deployment practices (e.g., blue-green, canary, or feature flagging). This position requires someone who can troubleshoot complex systems, implement robust monitoring and guardrails for databases and applications, and maintain a focus on optimizing performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.

Location

This role is designated as a fully remote position within the United States.

The Main Responsibilities

Kubernetes Management & Troubleshooting: Design and manage Kubernetes clusters (AWS EKS) with a focus on networking, scalability, security, and reliability. Troubleshoot complex, cross-system issues involving Kubernetes, databases, networking, and cloud infrastructure. Implement and maintain guardrails to ensure consistent and secure operation of Kubernetes workloads.
Infrastructure Design & Automation: Architect, build, and maintain highly available, fault-tolerant systems using AWS services. Use Terraform to define infrastructure as code, enabling scalable, repeatable, and secure deployments. Automate provisioning, configuration, and updates for cloud infrastructure with a focus on GitOps principles using ArgoCD and GitHub Actions.
System Guardrails & Application Monitoring: Set up and enforce guardrails for databases, infrastructure, and applications, ensuring consistency and adherence to best practices. Implement robust application and infrastructure monitoring using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and potentially Datadog. Ensure proactive alerting and predictive monitoring to detect issues before they impact users.
Progressive Deployment & CI/CD: Design and implement deployment strategies like blue-green deployments, canary releases, and feature-flag-based rollouts. Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines to streamline application delivery, testing, and deployment.
Collaboration & Best Practices: Partner with development teams to embed reliability and security best practices into the application lifecycle. Drive a culture of operational excellence, ensuring teams build for reliability, scalability, and security from the ground up.
Resilience & Continuous Improvement: Conduct post-incident reviews to identify root causes and prevent future incidents. Implement practices like chaos engineering to test and enhance system resilience.
Networking & Security: Design and manage secure networking solutions, including AWS VPCs, Kubernetes networking, and firewalls. Ensure compliance with security best practices and industry standards.
