Avantages
Great opportunity to work on large scale distributed systems and real production data challenges. The role allows architects to influence platform decisions and work closely with engineering, product, and data teams. The technical bar is high and there is exposure to modern cloud infrastructure, big data tooling, and complex integrations. Engineers have room to propose improvements and experiment with new approaches when solving difficult problems.
Inconvénients
Priorities can shift quickly depending on business needs, which sometimes makes long term planning harder. Coordination across multiple teams and stakeholders can slow down decisions. Documentation and internal processes could be more structured to reduce friction when onboarding or launching new initiatives.
