Job Details

• Job Type: Full-Time

Job Summary

We are seeking a skilled Software Architect to lead the design and architecture of our next-generation
software solutions. As a Software Architect, you will play a pivotal role in defining and driving technical
decisions that align with our business objectives. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams
to ensure scalable, secure, and high-performance systems. Beyond technical depth, we re looking for
someone who is highly analytical able to reason through ambiguous, real-world scenarios and land on
sound, well-justified solutions and who actively brings modern AI-assisted engineering practices into
day-to-day work to accelerate delivery.

What you ll be doing

• Define and drive the technical architecture of our software solutions, ensuring they are scalable, secure, and aligned with business objectives.
• Analyze ambiguous, real-world scenarios and translate them into clear architectural options, weighing trade-offs (cost, scalability, time-to-market, risk) before recommending a path forward.
• Collaborate with development teams to design and implement microservices architectures for seamless integration and optimal performance.
• Leverage your expertise in cloud technologies like AWS to design and implement solutions that enhance application performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Champion the adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) across the team to speed up design, coding, testing, and review without compromising quality or security.
• Ensure the delivery of high-quality, testable, and maintainable code through best practices, including Test-Driven Development (TDD) and code reviews.
• Work closely with product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to deliver innovative solutions that meet business needs.
• Focus on achieving high system uptime, proactively identifying and addressing potential issues to maintain reliability.
• Implement and manage integration with various supporting systems, such as authentication providers, search tools, and monitoring tools.

What we re looking for

• 10+ years of experience developing complex, scalable web applications.
• Proven experience as a Software Architect or similar role, with a strong understanding of architecture principles and patterns.
• Demonstrated analytical ability: comfortable working through open-ended, scenario-based problems and presenting multiple viable solutions with clear reasoning ideally backed by examples such as architecture decision records (ADRs).
• Expertise in designing and implementing microservices-based architectures with a focus on scalability, security, and performance.
• Strong knowledge of backend technologies (e.g., Node.js) and frontend frameworks (React, Vue).
• Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., MySQL, MongoDB, Redis).
• Proven ability to lead and mentor development teams, fostering a collaborative and innovative environment.
• Strong understanding and implementation of agile methodologies, including participation in roadmap planning and retrospectives.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, capable of working effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Genuinely current on AI trends and tooling, with hands-on experience using AI coding assistants (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) in real projects, and good judgment about where AI accelerates delivery versus where it introduces risk.
• A proactive approach to staying current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in software architecture and development.
• Experience with Amazon AWS services, containerization, and API Gateway.
• Experience with Git (Bitbucket or GitHub) and feature-branch workflows.

You will have an opportunity to

• Collaborate with global teams to build scalable, AI-augmented, web-based applications.
• Provide reliable solutions to a variety of complex problems using sound analytical and problem-solving techniques.
• Achieve engineering excellence by implementing standard practices, modern AI-assisted workflows, and delivery-speed improvements.
• Perform technical root-cause analysis and outline corrective action for given problems.
