Software Architect

Role Overview

• Design robust and scalable architectures for all sorts of systems (apps, SDKs, SaaS platforms, etc.) that are tailor-made for our specific tech stack.
• Use systems-level thinking to structure components for reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
• Work closely with developers, product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to translate requirements into clear, practical, and forward-looking architectures.
• Write and review technical proposals to ensure they align with the agreed architecture, principles, and long-term technical direction.
• Contribute to guiding development through code reviews, building PoCs, defining skeleton structures, and ensuring technical consistency across teams.
• Promote architectural standards and best practices across the organization to foster consistency, interoperability, and sustainable development.
• Analyze and document existing architectures by deeply understanding the current implementation of products and systems.
• Use open standards such as the C4 model to visualize and communicate system design.
• Detect and explain core algorithms and design patterns that form the backbone of key systems.
• Summarize their intent and implementation in simple, clear terms that can be easily understood by diverse audiences.
• Identify and record Important Technical Decisions (ITDs), ensuring they are properly captured, reviewed, and traceable to their rationale and impact.
• Evaluate and evolve existing architectures to improve scalability, maintainability, and performance.
• Propose pragmatic refactorings and modernization initiatives when needed.
• Mentor and enable engineering teams in system design, architectural principles, and documentation best practices, building a shared culture of technical excellence.
• Keep up to date with new tools, frameworks, and ideas, and proactively identify opportunities to improve our systems, processes, and developer experience.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in software development
• 3+ years of experience in a Technical Architect, Chief Architect, or similar technical leadership role
• Strong hands-on experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and/or C++
• Proven ability to perform and make decisions in fast-paced, dynamic, and evolving environments, balancing agility with long-term architectural integrity
• Demonstrated ability to analyze, refactor, and document complex systems
• transforming them into modular, maintainable architectures using open standards such as C4 and ADRs
• Deep understanding of architecture principles, design patterns, and modern system paradigms (microservices, event-driven architectures, domain-driven design, etc.)
• Proven ability to identify and articulate key algorithms, flows, and design patterns in existing systems
• Demonstrated experience architecting systems for scale
• optimizing for high-volume traffic, large user bases, or data-intensive workloads
• Demonstrated leadership in defining architectural standards, driving technical governance, and mentoring engineering teams in best practices
• Strong problem-solving and system-level thinking
• Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration, including Docker and Kubernetes, as well as CI/CD automation using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar tools
• Practical experience with databases and data modeling covering SQL and NoSQL systems
