Description

Key Responsibilities: 

Own architecture across product and platform 

• Define and evolve platform and application architecture, including service boundaries, integration patterns, data modeling, and API standards. 
• Lead architecture reviews and influence roadmaps to balance near-term delivery with long-term simplicity, maintainability, and performance. 
• Identify systemic product/platform opportunities (simplification, modularization, shared services) and drive cross-team execution. 

Introduce new technologies and best practices 

• Evaluate and introduce new technologies responsibly pilot, measure outcomes, document learnings, and scale adoption where valuable. 
• Establish best practices in design, testing, secure coding, CI/CD, and production readiness; create reference implementations and templates. 
• Raise engineering quality through clarity: design docs, decision records, coding standards, and measurable technical KPIs. 

Solve the hardest cross-team problems 

• Partner across teams to unblock complex initiatives: modernization, major refactors, performance tuning, data migrations, and distributed systems challenges. 
• Drive alignment across stakeholders making tradeoffs explicit and decisions durable. 
• Help teams debug and resolve high-severity production issues; codify learnings into better patterns and guardrails. 

Global cloud and regulated environment leadership 

• Guide architecture for global cloud deployments (multi-region strategy, DR, availability, and operability). 
• Support FedRAMP/government cloud certification readiness by shaping technical controls implementation plans with Security/Compliance. 

Mentor and coach across the organization 

• Mentor engineers across teams; coach technical leads on design quality, execution, and engineering judgment. 
• Build learning mechanisms: architecture guilds, tech talks, post-incident reviews, and hands-on design workshops. 

About You:

Technical breadth (multi-stack) 

• Ten years of overall experience, with at least five years as a Staff or Principal engineer at B2B SaaS startups 
• Strong working knowledge across: Java/J2EE, Oracle, Postgres, AWS, GCP, Azure, and modern frontend frameworks (React, Vue.js). 
• Ability to move between systems-level architecture and hands-on problem solving, deep where needed, broad by default. 
• Experience building and operating modern B2B SaaS applications with strong engineering fundamentals. 

Architecture leadership 

• Proven success setting architectural direction across multiple teams and making durable technical decisions. 
• Strong systems design skills: scalability, reliability, performance, data consistency, and operational maturity. 
• Ability to drive alignment, influence roadmaps, and lead through ambiguity with pragmatic tradeoffs. 

Global cloud + FedRAMP experience 

• Experience with global cloud systems and production operations at scale (multi-region deployments, DR/BCP, observability). 
• Experience supporting FedRAMP/government cloud certification and/or comparable regulated environments. 

Mentorship and communication 

• Strong written and verbal communication; able to author clear design docs and influence across engineering, product, and leadership. 
• Track record of mentoring and coaching engineers across teams, improving quality and raising the technic al bar. 

Education:

• A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field
• Master's degree preferred

Nice to Have 

• Experience designing shared services (identity/auth, platform APIs) and driving adoption through developer experience improvements. 
• Experience with Kubernetes, service meshes, and platform tooling that improves developer productivity. 
• Experience leading large-scale modernization of legacy Java/J2EE systems. 
• Experience in commercial real estate software
