Software Architect

We are looking for a Senior Software Architect to help define and evolve the architecture of our SaaS platform and core products. You will work closely with product, delivery, and engineering squads to design scalable, reliable systems, set technical direction, and guide teams in making high‑quality architectural decisions that balance delivery speed with long‑term sustainability.
This is a hands‑on, senior technical leadership role: you will spend most of your time shaping architectures with teams, reviewing designs and critical code, and driving shared standards and patterns across the organization, all in an advance agentic environment.
Responsibilities:
Architecture & technical leadership:
Define and evolve the architecture for key domains in our platform (APIs, services, data flows, integration, observability, security).
Translate business and product requirements into clear, pragmatic technical designs and architecture roadmaps.
Create and maintain architecture artefacts: diagrams, decision records (ADRs), reference implementations, and guidelines.
Evaluate design options and technology choices, articulate trade‑offs, and lead the decision‑making process with stakeholders.
Push forward the agentic mindset and implementation.
Working with squads (R&D):
Partner with squad leads and senior engineers to design solutions, break down complex problems, and keep implementations aligned with the target architecture.
Participate in design / tech reviews, ensuring non‑functional requirements (performance, resilience, security, operability) are addressed early.
Provide hands‑on support where it matters most: spike and prototype critical flows, review complex pull requests, and help debug tricky production issues.
Partnering with Product:
Collaborate with Product to shape technical feasibility, sequencing, and scope for roadmap items and cross‑squad initiatives.
Communicate complex technical topics in simple language to non‑technical stakeholders when discussing roadmap options and trade‑offs.
Standards, reuse, and platform mindset:
Define and promote architecture principles, coding standards, and reusable patterns (modules, libraries, services) that reduce duplication and technical debt.
Champion platform thinking: design services and components that can be safely reused across teams and products.
Drive adoption of shared platform capabilities (observability, CI/CD, authentication, data, DevOps tooling) across squads.
Quality, reliability, and continuous improvement:
Ensure architectures are observable, operable, and resilient by design; partner with DevOps/SRE on deployment, monitoring, and incident response.
Identify areas of high technical debt or architectural risk and lead structured remediation initiatives.
Help define and track technical KPIs (e.g., performance, reliability, incident volume) tied to architecture decisions.
Mentoring and leadership:
Act as a technical mentor and sounding board for senior engineers and tech leads, helping them grow their architecture skills.
Foster a culture of thoughtful design, documentation, and constructive technical debate.
Lead by influence rather than authority: you help teams make better decisions instead of making every decision for them.
