The architecture direction is led by the VP of Architecture. In this role, you partner closely with the VP of Architecture to review designs, validate tradeoffs, ensure implement ability, and keep delivery aligned with platform direction. You are hands-on when it matters, staying close to technical decisions, coaching engineering leaders, and serving as an escalation point for complex delivery and production issues.

• Drive adoption of engineering practices that reduce rework and prevent regressions across frontend, backend, and mobile
• Ensure delivered solutions meet technical, functional, and non-functional requirements
AI-Assisted Engineering and Agentic Workflows
• Put practical, safe AI-assisted development into daily work to improve throughput and reduce rework
• Use tools such as Windsurf and advanced models such as Claude Opus to accelerate implementation, refactorings, and test creation
• Improve review quality with automated checks for risky changes, security issues, and regression likelihood
• Establish usage rules that protect code and customer data, with human approval gates and auditable practices
WHAT DO YOU NEED?

• Comfortable multi-tasking and working as part of a global team, as well as working independently and taking ownership.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present complex technical information clearly and in a concise manner to a variety of audiences.
A Glimpse of the Technology You’ll Use:
• PHP, Python, Node, Java, MySQL, React, React Native, JavaScript, API, Shell Scripting, GitHub, AWS (IaaS, PaaS), Nginx, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, C#, .NET, Web application security, SAML, OAuth2, OWASP.
