I see a string of 1-3 year stints as a potential red flag personally. Anything less than a year will definitely be scrutinized. There have absolutely been resumes I've passed up on where there was a trend of ~2 years in a role before moving on to another company or team.
My rationale: Especially in more senior roles, 2 years is about the sweet spot where your house of cards can start to fall apart. You start a new role, spend 1-3 months ramping up, another 3-6 months strategizing/planning, and a year or so executing. By the end of all this, you're ~2 years into it and those initial ROI statements of $XM per year will start getting assessed.

(Comp is ~400k/yr, was much higher in previous role but that’s stock appreciation at work) :/ 2 years is usually where people can only put up with so much toxicity before leaving. Even at 1m+/yr, I couldn’t last longer than 2.5 years. A lot of work environments change too - so, often you’re quitting your new manager (who won’t let you transfer) and not the company.

- triceratops 5y agoI've been in the industry over 10 years, only one of my jobs has lasted over 3 years. And even when I don't leave the company, I do change my team after about 2 years.
