About The Position

As an Architect I at AGDATA, your work directly helps enable the success of farmers and agribusinesses across North America. The systems you help design and evolve power the programs, insights, and services that support how food is grown, protected, and brought to market—making a real, tangible impact beyond the code you write. In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with senior architects, product owners, and engineering teams to build secure, scalable, and maintainable applications using modern .NET and cloud native patterns. You’ll see how thoughtful application and data design translates into reliable data, trusted insights, and stronger relationships between AGDATA, our customers and partners, and the growers they serve. This is an individual contributor role designed for architects early in their journey. You’ll gain hands on experience applying architectural principles in real product environments, contribute meaningful design input, and grow your influence over time—while learning how your work helps farmers make better decisions every day.

Requirements

8+ years of senior engineering or 3+ years of architecture experience.
Hands-on experience developing solutions with .NET6+ (C#, ASP.NET Core, EF Core).
Working knowledge of modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React17+).
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), container orchestration concepts (e.g., Kubernetes/AKS), and observability tooling.
Understanding of Clean Architecture, SOLID principles, feature oriented/Vertical Slice Architecture, and Domain Driven Design (DDD) concepts.
Experience building REST APIs, microservices, and exposure to event driven design.
Exposure to cloud native development (e.g., Azure Functions or equivalent serverless, containerization).
Awareness of secure software development practices (e.g., OWASP Top 10) and identity/access considerations.
Comfort working in Agile environments; strong collaboration and communication skills.
Ability to create clear technical documentation and diagrams using common modeling notations or tools.
Strong communication and collaboration skills with a focus on influence and inspiration.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Microsoft Azure (or another major cloud platform) and familiarity with cloud architecture guidance (e.g., Azure Well Architected Framework or equivalent).
Exposure to microservices patterns, API versioning, schema evolution, and event streaming (e.g., Kafka, Azure Event Hubs, Event Grid, or Service Bus).
Experience contributing to ADRs or similar design documentation, and interest in mentoring/knowledge sharing as you grow.
Exposure to designing or integrating with large-scale data and analytics platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, or Google BigQuery.
Experience using AI assisted development tools to support design, coding, or documentation workflows.
Awareness of OWASP Top 10 for LLM and GenAI.
Experience working in a product-driven organization focused on building commercial solutions supporting multiple large enterprise organizations.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the design of application components and services within AGDATA’s modern .NET ecosystem.
Assist with cloud native design, including serverless workloads (e.g., Azure Functions) and containerized services, under the guidance of senior architects.
Help align application designs with broader solution architecture standards and reference architectures.
Produce concise architecture artifacts—diagrams, lightweight Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), and design notes—to facilitate shared understanding.
Participate in architecture and design reviews; capture feedback and incorporate improvements.
Collaborate with engineering teams to shape nonfunctional requirements (NFRs) such as performance, reliability, observability, security, and cost efficiency.
Apply secure design and development practices (identity and access, least privilege, common vulnerability awareness) and support threat modeling discussions.
Contribute to integration patterns, data flows, and cross system interactions (REST and event driven).
Participate in code reviews with a focus on maintain ability, reliability ,performance, scalability, and security.
Provide hands on prototyping and coding for complex or high impact technical problems.
Work closely with product owners, engineering leads, developers, and DevOps to support iterative delivery and measurable outcomes.
Document patterns and practices; share learnings in brownbags, design sessions, or internal forums.
Adopt and encourage effective use of modern tooling (testing, CI/CD, observability, and documentation) to improve quality and speed.
