📋 Description

• Define and own the enterprise platform architecture strategy — establishing the technical vision for how our systems, services, APIs, and data layers are designed to support product innovation, client scale, and competitive differentiation. • Develop and maintain architecture principles, patterns, and guardrails that guide Engineering teams toward consistent, scalable, and maintainable system design across back-end, API, and integration layers. • Lead architectural runway planning in partnership with the VP of Engineering and Product leadership — ensuring architectural investments stay ahead of product demand and organizational growth. • Evaluate and make deliberate decisions on foundational technology choices — including frameworks, cloud services, messaging patterns, data stores, and AI/ML integration approaches — balancing innovation with operational sustainability. • Own the architecture decision record (ADR) process, ensuring significant architectural decisions are documented, peer-reviewed, and accessible to the broader engineering organization. • Champion an AI-first design philosophy across the platform — ensuring that AI capabilities, including LLM integration, intelligent workflow orchestration, and ML-powered services, are treated as first-class architectural concerns rather than afterthoughts. • Define architectural patterns for AI capability integration, including API design standards for LLM-powered services, prompt management patterns, model versioning strategies, and AI observability requirements. • Provide architectural oversight to the Manager of Back-End Software Engineering and Manager of Technical Software Engineering — ensuring that engineering work executed within those teams is architecturally sound, consistently patterned, and aligned with the platform roadmap. • Run architecture guilds, design forums, and technical review sessions that create space for Engineering teams to engage with platform architecture, raise design questions, and contribute to architectural evolution.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science , Software Engineering, or a related field; advanced degree a plus. • Software Engineering experience, including in a Principal, Staff, or Architect-level role with organization-wide technical influence. • Demonstrated experience defining and governing enterprise platform architecture across back-end services, APIs, and cloud-native infrastructure. • Deep expertise in .NET / C# and cloud-native AWS architecture patterns including Lambda, ECS/EKS, Step Functions, API Gateway, and event-driven messaging. • Strong track record of embedding AI capabilities into platform architecture, including LLM integration, AI service design, and responsible AI architectural practices. • Experience leading architecture governance processes including design reviews, ADRs, and architecture standards programs across multi-team engineering organizations. • Exceptional communication skills — able to convey complex architectural concepts through clear diagrams, written documentation, and verbal presentation to both technical and executive audiences. • Experience operating within compliance frameworks including NIST 800-53, ISO/IEC 27001, and SOC 2 from an architecture and design perspective. • Preferred Qualifications: Experience with workflow orchestration architecture using Temporal or AWS Step Functions in high-scale production environments. Familiarity with API security architecture patterns including OAuth 2.0, OIDC, API gateway policy enforcement, and zero-trust access models. Experience with event-driven architecture and streaming platforms such as AWS EventBridge , Kafka, or Kinesis. AWS certification at the professional or specialty level (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect – Professional). Experience building internal architecture enablement programs, including guilds, design forums, and architecture documentation repositories.
