Role Description We're hiring a Staff Software Architect to own the end-to-end design of a complex software product. The role spans the full architectural surface: - Data - Services - Integrations - Infrastructure - Security - Reliability This is a hands-on architect role, not a diagrams-and-handoffs role — but diagrams and decision records are part of the job. You communicate architecture clearly through C4 models (context, container, component) and lightweight ADRs that capture decisions, context, and trade-offs so the team doesn't re-litigate them six months later. You also write code on critical paths, review designs and PRs, take ownership when the parts you designed misbehave in production, and push back when a feature request would compromise the architecture. You're comfortable in ambiguity and can join a product mid-flight, form a sharp view of what's load-bearing and what's incidental, and propose a direction the team can rally behind. You treat AI-augmented engineering as a force multiplier you wield with judgment — neither a gimmick nor a substitute for thinking. Qualifications - 10+ years building production distributed systems, with at least 3 years in a Staff, Principal, or Architect role - Track record of owning architectural decisions end-to-end and being on the hook when they fail — not just authoring RFCs - Demonstrated fluency communicating architecture through C4 models and capturing decisions in ADRs (or equivalent decision-record discipline) - Strong fluency in JavaScript / TypeScript and Python; comfortable reading and contributing across multiple languages and stacks - Deep AWS architecture expertise — has designed and operated non-trivial multi-tenant systems across compute (ECS/EKS/Lambda), data (RDS, DynamoDB, S3), networking (VPC, ALB, PrivateLink), and identity (IAM, KMS, Secrets Manager) - Production experience with Infrastructure as Code — Terraform, CloudFormation/CDK, or Pulumi - Fluent in modern CI/CD practice — has designed and owned pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CodePipeline, or equivalent) - Deep GitHub fluency — branching strategies, PR workflows, code ownership, GitHub Actions, and the org-level controls that matter at scale - Comfortable working in ambiguity, defining contracts where none exist, and shipping under reliability pressure - C1 English; comfortable in fully distributed teams Requirements - Hands-on production experience with at least one AI/LLM-powered system, including a real understanding of retrieval, prompt/context design, cost, and failure modes - Experience integrating with at least three meaningful third-party platforms in production (e.g. Slack, GitHub, Atlassian, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Stripe, IDE extensions, MCP servers) - AWS certifications at the Professional or Specialty level (Solutions Architect Professional, DevOps Engineer Professional, Security Specialty) - Experience with progressive delivery patterns — blue/green, canary, feature flags — in production at scale What this person will own and do day-to-day - Architecture and technical direction: - Own the end-to-end architecture of the product: data model, services, integrations, infrastructure, security, and reliability. - Communicate architecture through C4 diagrams that stay current with the system. - Author and curate ADRs that capture context, options, trade-offs, and consequences for every load-bearing decision. - Set the architectural guardrails — boundaries, contracts, SLAs — that let the team move fast without re-litigating foundational decisions. - Make build/buy/integrate decisions across platforms, frameworks, third-party services, and infrastructure. - Define and evolve the canonical schema, versioning model, and core abstractions of the product. - Hands-on engineering: - Write production code on critical paths, especially where the architectural risk is highest. - Lead design reviews and review PRs on load-bearing parts of the system. - Prototype hard problems quickly to de-risk decisions before the team commits. - Profile, debug, and stabilize systems under real production conditions. - Reliability, security, and enterprise readiness: - Drive the architecture for deployment, data residency, and audit. - Lead the response to systemic reliability issues and convert them into durable architectural improvements. - Define the access control, permissions, and audit-log model across the product. - Own incident postmortems on systemic issues and translate them into roadmap-level changes. - Cross-functional and engineering collaboration: - Partner with engineering leadership to translate architecture into shippable increments. - Work directly with Product on what's architecturally feasible inside the current quarter vs. what's a quarter-out investment. - Mentor engineers on systems thinking, trade-off analysis, and writing for design clarity. - Represent the product's architecture to enterprise customers during technical evaluations and security reviews. - AI-augmented engineering practice: - Use modern AI engineering tooling as a daily working layer. - Set the team's working patterns for spec-driven development, evaluation gates, and AI-assisted code review. - Distinguish where AI accelerates the work and where it introduces risk; encode that distinction in the delivery process. Benefits - 💵 Monthly USD Service Fee - 🌴 20 business days of paid Agreed Time Off—Annual + 6 Local Holidays - 🐣 Caregiver Time Off - 💻 A dynamic remote work culture. You can work from anywhere! - 🚀 An entrepreneurial environment.
