What You’ll Be Doing: Department: Platform Engineering & Operations (PEO)Function / Team Platform Architecture Reports To: Director, Platform Architecture Location / Work Arrangement: Remote / Work at Home Employment Type: Full-time Date / Version: 2026-09 / v1 (standard template) Role Overview As a Platform Architect in Evolent's Platform Engineering & Operations (PEO) organization, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining the cloud and infrastructure platforms that Evolent's applications run on. This role involves strategic thinking to solve high impactful organizational issues with expertise in major cloud platforms, specifically Microsoft Azure. Why This Role Matters Evolent is transforming how it builds and operates infrastructure under a refreshed Platform Engineering & Operations operating model, grounded in four principles: Architecture First, Automation by Default, Reliability is a Shared Responsibility and Golden Paths Over Custom Solutions. You will turn approved designs into provisioned, automated, and documented platforms, and you will do it transparently, through formal handoffs, Office Hours reviews, and documentation your peers can actually rely on. Agentic AI: Platform Engineering is moving toward agentic AI as a standard part of how the organization works. As agentic AI transforms the way we work, we expect our engineers to be at the forefront of that change, designing and building intelligent solutions rather than simply consuming them. This builder mentality is a core attribute we assess from the first conversation. What You'll Be Doing ·       Provision and change infrastructure exclusively as code, so that every environment is reproducible, reviewable, and free of manual drift. ·       Reverse engineer the applications and infrastructure you inherit: trace dependencies, integrations, and data flows end to end until you can explain how a system actually works. ·       Design and build agentic AI solutions for platform, delivery, and operations work: identify the toil worth automating, then build, evaluate, and harden the agent that removes it.
