About this role
Role Overview
- Define and evolve the architecture of Legion's multi-tenant SaaS platform.
- Lead system design for highly scalable, fault-tolerant, distributed services.
- Establish architectural patterns, standards, and long-term technical roadmaps.
- Drive decisions around service decomposition, API strategy, and extensibility.
- Architect and optimize cloud-native systems on AWS.
- Design for high availability, performance, security, and cost efficiency.
- Own containerization and orchestration strategy (Docker, Kubernetes) in production.
- Champion observability, reliability engineering, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code.
- Ensure secure enterprise-grade data protection at scale.
- Lead performance tuning, scalability modeling, and database optimization.
- Design APIs and integration patterns for enterprise customers and partners.
- Support compliance and audit requirements common in enterprise environments.
- Actively use Generative AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude) as a standard part of your development and architectural workflow — demonstrated prior use is required.
- Establish engineering-wide best practices for AI-assisted development, code review, and architectural validation.
- Support the design and development of AI-native product capabilities.
- Evaluate and integrate emerging AI/ML frameworks and LLM orchestration patterns (RAG, agentic workflows) into the core platform.
- Drive measurable improvements in AI SDLC practices and engineering velocity through intelligent automation.
- Lead design reviews and mentor senior engineers and principals.
- Serve as the escalation point for complex production or architectural challenges.
- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Data, QA, and DevOps.
- Contribute hands-on to critical platform components, with a primary emphasis on architecture and technical direction.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
- 10+ years architecting multi-tenant, cloud-native SaaS platforms serving enterprise customers (building core product systems, not customer implementations)
- Demonstrated active use of Generative AI coding tools in professional software development
- Deep expertise in Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate, MySQL, and RESTful API design
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS — including compute, storage, networking, and managed services at scale
- Demonstrated expertise in distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and large-scale data modeling
- Experience designing for high availability, fault tolerance, and performance under high-concurrency enterprise workloads
- Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) in production environments
- Strong DevOps fluency: CI/CD pipelines, GitHub, observability, and infrastructure as code
- Excellent technical communication and cross-functional leadership skills.
