Architect (Software Code Quality & Integration)
About The Position
The Architect (Software Code Quality & Integration) will provide leadership in code reviews, setting expectations beyond standard participation. This role involves defining and reinforcing best practice standards for code quality across teams, prioritizing the review of critical paths and shared components to ensure system-wide reliability. The architect will enforce best practices including naming conventions, error handling, logging/observability, and security standards. Additionally, they will establish and maintain coding standards and design patterns aligned with best practices, drive consistency through reusable frameworks and shared libraries, and actively promote and ensure adoption of standards across teams. Expertise in large-scale integration across internal platforms and third-party systems, accounting for reliability, maintainability, and scalability, is crucial. The role also includes implementing review gates, coding standards, and automated quality checks, leveraging CI/CD pipelines to enforce linting, security scanning, and test coverage requirements, and defining and upholding clear criteria for code readiness prior to production deployment. A light amount of QA testing is also expected.
Requirements
- Deep ability for evaluating large, complex codebases, identifying risks, inconsistencies, and improvement opportunities.
