Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 3+ years in a dedicated architectural role.
- Proven track record of designing and scaling large-scale, distributed SaaS applications. You should be an expert in horizontal scaling, database sharding, and event-driven architectures.
- Deep experience with cloud-native principles (Containers, Kubernetes, Serverless, and Service Mesh) and multi-cloud strategies.
- Expert knowledge of Agile, Lean, and SAFe. You understand how to integrate architectural runway into a fast-moving development sprint.

- Exceptional ability to decompose complex problems and explain them clearly to both developers and executive leadership.
Responsibilities
- Architectural Blueprinting: Define the technical solutions, assumptions, and constraints for major initiatives. You will create the technical roadmaps that align with our "multi-generation" software plans.

- Standardization & Reuse: Identify recurring patterns across different product lines to develop common frameworks, reducing duplication and driving engineering efficiency across the enterprise.

- Technical Governance: Evaluate existing systems to identify bottlenecks in performance, security, or cost, and propose actionable architectural shifts to resolve them.
- Mentorship: Act as a mentor to staff and senior engineers, elevating the technical bar across the organization and ensuring the architecture is understood and correctly implemented.
