📋 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 • Help the company move from fragmented systems toward a more coherent platform model • Guide major architectural decisions with clear reasoning, tradeoff analysis, and pragmatic recommendations • Identify architectural bottlenecks, duplication, scaling risks, and structural weaknesses • Focus leadership attention on the technical decisions that matter most • Establish architecture standards, review mechanisms, and decision frameworks that improve quality without slowing teams down • Create enough discipline to drive coherence, but not so much process that architecture becomes dead weight • Lead or influence prototyping efforts for new platform capabilities, architectural shifts, and future-state patterns • Validate important ideas quickly before the company overcommits to bad assumptions • Partner deeply with engineering leadership and senior engineers • Raise the technical bar through clarity, credibility, and sound judgment • Act as a force multiplier, not 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 design with practical delivery needs • We care less about how many years you’ve been called an architect and more about whether you can actually lead architecture at this level.

🏖️ Benefits

• Unlimited PTO: Trust-based time off so you can recharge and bring your best self to work. • Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage to support you and your family’s health and well-being. • Learning & development programs: Access to training, mentorship, and development resources to grow your skills — from HR operations to total rewards strategy.
