About Patria Technology Patria is an alternative investment firm investing across Private Equity, GPMS (Fund of Funds), Infrastructure, Real Estate, Credit and Public Equities. Technology supports the firm through a period of growth, including acquisitions and expansion across asset classes and geographies. Technology is organized into value streams, which own the technology serving a business area end to end, and shared capabilities, which provide common platforms, standards and services. This is a new position within an established Technology function that includes Information Security, Technology Governance, Infrastructure and value-stream leads.

Role purpose

Lead Patria's shared Platform Engineering, Data and Enterprise Architecture capabilities. The role sets the enterprise, technical and platform architecture and the engineering standards used across Technology, and advises value streams on application-architecture principles. Business-solution delivery, including business and application architecture, remains with the value streams; this role enables them to deliver secure, reliable and scalable solutions with greater speed and consistency. This is a hands-on role: Patria has no pure people managers, and everyone contributes, in keeping with our entrepreneurial culture.

Scope boundaries: Infrastructure and cloud operations, including cloud foundations, are owned by the Infrastructure Lead; the two roles work together on the platform. Business and application architecture sit with the value streams.

What you will own

• Define the strategy, operating model and capability roadmap for platform engineering, engineering practices, data and AI enablement, and enterprise architecture.

• Lead the Platform Engineering, Data and Enterprise Architecture capabilities, establishing clear accountabilities, skills, sourcing choices and delivery roadmaps.

• Build and evolve an internal development platform with reusable patterns, golden paths, automation, CI/CD, testing, observability, runbooks and secure engineering controls, working with the Infrastructure Lead on the underlying cloud foundations.

• Set enterprise, technical, platform and integration architecture standards: principles, target architectures, transition roadmaps and design review. Technical standards are mandatory; on application architecture the role advises and value streams decide, with escalation to the CTO.

• Define Patria's data strategy and lead its delivery through the Head of Data, enabling cross-value-stream data use such as the client 360 view.

• Partner with value-stream leaders and Information Security to raise engineering maturity without centralizing business delivery.

• Build an AI-based Engineering & Data capability that is strong and current in AI today and looks ahead, with a platform and DevOps focus.

What we are looking for

Essential

• Senior leadership experience across platform engineering, data engineering and enterprise architecture.

• Track record of building engineering capabilities, developer platforms or shared technical services in a federated organization.

• Strong understanding of modern software delivery, automation, cloud, integration, security, reliability and observability.

• Experience defining data strategy, architecture, governance and platform roadmaps.

• Ability to influence product and value-stream teams without taking over their delivery accountability, combining technical depth with people leadership and executive communication.

• Experience running a developer platform as a product across Azure and Google Cloud.

• Real-world AI delivery experience with a platform and DevOps focus, and a current, forward-looking view of AI in engineering and data.

• Agile delivery methodology background preferred

Preferred: Experience in financial services, ideally asset management.

Technologies: Google Cloud, Terraform, CI/CD (e.g. GitHub Actions, SonarQube), Kubernetes, Docker, observability (E.g. Grafana), API management (E.g. Sensedia), architecture tooling. Preferred: Google data stack

Languages: English (essential); Portuguese and/or Spanish (preferred).
