Job Description
Principal Software Architect – Emerging Technologies
Granicus
• Own the generator-verifier architecture — the loop in which generator agents produce changes and verifier agents validate them. • Define agent orchestration patterns — including secure state and credential handling. • Build and operate CI/CD for high volume of autonomous pull requests. • Establish eval-driven development as the default discipline. • Own the security boundary — explicit mapping from NIST controls to pipeline guardrails. • Serve as the final human accountability gate — no agent-generated code reaches production without senior human review. • Define the engineering standards inherited by every team.
Job Requirements
- Architecture of systems at scale with accountability for outcomes.
- Distributed systems, CI/CD, and developer platforms where your design decisions carried significant operational consequence.
- Deep CI/CD and developer-platform expertise.
- Hands-on experience operating LLM agents in production paths, including orchestration, tool use, sandboxing, evaluation, and failure modes that emerge at volume.
- Security-architecture expertise.
- A track record of setting standards adopted by others.
- The ability to serve as an accountability gate without becoming a bottleneck.
Benefits
- Flexible Time Off – Take the time you need to rest, recharge, and live your life.
- Company-Wide Wellbeing Days – Paid days off to unplug and focus on your mental health.
- Work From Home Reimbursement – Support a productive home office environment.
- Multiple Health Plan Options – Including a 100% employer-paid plan.
- Employer HSA Contributions – When enrolled in a High-Deductible Health Plan.
- Fitness Reimbursement Program – Stay active, your way.
- On-Demand Mental Health Support – Access to Headspace and other wellness tools.
- Paid Parental Leave – For both birthing and non-birthing parents.
- Traditional & Roth 401(k) – With a generous company match.
- Life & AD&D Insurance – 100% employer-paid coverage for peace of mind.
- Online Learning Platforms – Fuel your professional development.
- Competitive Salary & Bonuses – Your contributions are valued and rewarded.
