Architect

About the Position

We're seeking an experienced Architect to lead our web platform's target-state architecture and guide six engineering teams. You'll translate business strategy into technical strategy and ensure sustained growth.

Responsibilities

• Define and own the north-star architecture, the guiding principles, and the guardrails that keep six teams coherent without becoming a bottleneck.
• Establish lightweight architectural governance - reference architectures, Architecture Decision Records, an RFC process, and a tech radar - so decisions are deliberate, documented, and durable.
• Drive domain decomposition and service boundaries (DDD, bounded contexts), and design event-driven systems with sound consistency, idempotency, and resilience semantics.
• Set the observability strategy - metrics, logging, tracing, SLOs, and alerting standards - so teams can understand system behavior, debug quickly, and operate confidently at scale.
• Shape initiatives upstream: frame the problem, weigh build-vs-buy against total cost of ownership, and set a defensible long-term direction before engineering commits.
• Treat security as a first-class architectural concern: secure-by-design, zero-trust principles, threat modeling, and data protection across the stack.
• Set the infrastructure architecture and Infrastructure-as-Code standards (e.g. Terraform).
• Build proofs of concept to validate direction and prove out emerging technology before it becomes a commitment.
• Mentor senior engineers and raise the architectural maturity of every team.

Requirements

• 10+ years building production software, several of them in a dedicated architecture capacity, primarily on Java / Spring.
• Demonstrated ownership of platform-level architecture spanning multiple teams.
• Deep distributed-systems expertise - microservices, event-driven and event-sourced designs.
• A proven record of scaling systems through real growth in traffic, data volume, and contributing teams.
• Command of data, caching, and search architecture (PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch) and of cloud-native operations - Kubernetes / EKS, Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform), and CI/CD - with the ability to design infrastructure as a reusable, governed platform.
• Strong grounding in observability practices - instrumentation, distributed tracing, and defining SLOs/SLIs for production systems.
• Advanced security expertise - secure-by-design architecture, authentication and authorization, and data protection across the stack.
• Fluency moving from deep technical discussion with engineers to strategic trade-off framing with executives.
• The self-direction to be the senior-most architectural voice, aligning teams through influence and clarity.

Nice to Have

• High-traffic, data-intensive web experience at scale.
• AWS certification (Solutions Architect – Professional).
• Experience introducing AI-assisted, agentic development practices across the engineering lifecycle.
• Experience driving an organization through ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance programs.

We Offer

• Fully Remote work options.
