Description

  • Define the target-state architecture for the company’s platform evolution.
  • Drive architectural direction across APIs, services, integration patterns, data, identity, and AI-enabled capabilities.
  • Guide major architectural decisions with clear reasoning, tradeoff analysis, and pragmatic recommendations.
  • Identify architectural bottlenecks, duplication, scaling risks, and structural weaknesses.
  • Establish architecture standards, review mechanisms, and decision frameworks that improve quality without slowing teams down.
  • Lead or influence prototyping efforts for new platform capabilities, architectural shifts, and future-state patterns.
  • Validate key architectural ideas quickly before the company overcommits to incorrect assumptions.
  • Partner closely with engineering leadership and senior engineers to shape technical direction.
  • Raise the technical bar through clarity, credibility, and sound judgment.
  • Act as a force multiplier for engineering teams rather than a bottleneck.

Requirements

  • Deep technical judgment and strong systems thinking.
  • Ability to reason from first principles and communicate tradeoffs clearly.
  • Strong understanding of modern SaaS architecture, APIs, distributed systems, data design, and platform evolution.
  • Ability to balance long-term architectural design with practical delivery needs.
  • Real technical depth and high credibility with strong engineers.
  • Pragmatic, not theoretical, with the ability to simplify complexity.
  • Understanding of AI-native architecture direction.
  • Ability to shape a company’s technical future rather than just review diagrams.
  • The company cares more about demonstrated architectural leadership than the number of years someone has been titled an architect.

Benefits

  • Remote-first work environment with flexible work scheduling.
  • Unlimited PTO.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Career development opportunities.
  • Access to training, mentorship, and learning & development resources.
  • Mission-driven work with meaningful impact on hiring outcomes.
  • Opportunity to work with a fast-moving, collaborative team and attend regular in-person meetups.
