About the role
We are seeking a Senior Software Architect to join our core R&D team. You will help define and evolve the technical foundation of our platform as we scale. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and emerging AI capabilities where you’ll design systems that are not only reliable and scalable, but also ready to leverage the next generation of AI-driven tooling.
You’ll act as a senior individual contributor and technical leader, partnering across teams to shape architecture, guide critical decisions, and turn complex ideas into practical, production-ready systems.
Responsibilities:
- Own and evolve system architecture across our platform, ensuring scalability, reliability, and maintainability
- Partner closely with engineering and product teams to design systems that balance speed of delivery with long-term flexibility
- Lead high-impact technical decisions, including trade-offs across performance, cost, and complexity
- Translate ambiguous business or product needs into clear technical approaches and system designs
- Identify architectural gaps, technical debt, and scaling bottlenecks, and drive solutions proactively
- Act as a technical mentor and thought partner across teams
AI & Emerging Technology Focus:
- Explore, evaluate, and apply AI tools, frameworks, and workflows to improve both our product and internal development velocity
- Stay current with advancements in AI development and help the team adopt them pragmatically
- Contribute to building a culture of curiosity and experimentation around AI across the organization
- Adopt and drive an AI-first approach to software development cycle, design principals and product capabilities
Requirements:
- 20+ years of software engineering experience, with deep experience in system design and architecture
- Proven track record designing and evolving distributed or scalable systems
- Broad experience in AWS cloud architecture, with the ability to design and implement complex data plane and control plane systems
- Comfortable going deep technically while influencing broadly
- Experience working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and business stakeholders
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex systems clearly
- Experience with data pipelines, highly scalable systems, cloud native architectures and services
- Experience in Cyber Security is a bonus
