  • 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.
