Platform Consultant Expert - (Hybrid)

This role sits within Allstate Cyber Operations & Platforms as part of a set of Digital Product Teams responsible for building and operating a cohesive, scalable Security Operations platform ecosystem. The Platform Consultant defines and drives architecture patterns, integration standards, and ecosystem strategy across AI platforms, security data, and tooling. This role ensures the environment evolves as a coherent, reusable, and governed platform ecosystem, enabling safe, scalable adoption through well defined "paved roads."

Key Responsibilities

• Define architecture, design patterns, and integration standards across AI, data, and tooling.
• Establish APIs, data models, security controls, and observability requirements.
• Ensure high quality, structured data for AI (lineage, consistency, readiness).
• Set standards for safe AI use (explainability, auditability, controlled actions).
• Design unified integration across tools and platforms to produce consistent, AI ready data.
• Build scalable, reusable solutions as the default ("paved roads"), drive standardization, reduce duplication, and guide adoption.
• Lead build vs buy vs integrate decisions, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and governance driven.
• Partner across teams (ACP, SD&O, T&P) for platform alignment and influence simplification, reuse, and consistency.

Essential Criteria

• Minimum of 5 years software engineering experience in at least 3 programming paradigms (Object oriented: Java & JavaScript; Procedural/systems: e.g., Go, Rust, C; Functional: e.g., F#, Elixir, Clojure, Haskell).
• Experience using modern development tools (IntelliJ or VS Code, Git/GitHub, Spring Boot) and designing robust RESTful APIs.
• Minimum of 3 years hands on expertise in architecting and delivering large scale distributed systems, such as cloud native microservices on Docker/Kubernetes, deployed on modern cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or equivalent), ensuring scalability, high availability, and performance.
• Project experience as a high impact technical advisor to multiple engineering teams, with proven ability to influence architecture direction and mentor engineers in best practices and leadership responsibilities.
• Expertise in Agile/XP and DevOps methodologies, including paired programming, test driven development (TDD), and CI/CD automation.

Desirable Criteria

• Experience with agentic AI platforms, governance, and safe action design.
• Familiarity with security operations ecosystems and analyst workflows.
• Knowledge of telemetry and observability systems, data lineage, metadata, and data quality frameworks.
• Experience with canonical data models and analytics ready datasets.
• Background in tooling integration and platform standardization (golden paths/paved roads).
• Experience aligning AI, data, and tooling strategies into a unified platform vision.
