Description:
**100% Remote**
We’re looking for a Lead Software Architect, a hands-on technologist who designs and delivers complex, production-grade systems across multiple lines of business. You’ll lead small, fast-moving engineering teams, guiding them from concept to deployment. You will own architectural decisions for your projects, influence cross-product standards, and champion the use of AI to accelerate our software development lifecycle. You’ll report to the Principal AI Architect and act as a trusted technical leader, translating enterprise-level vision into working, scalable software. This role blends architecture, delivery leadership, and technical mentorship. This is ideal for someone who loves both designing systems and writing code that ships.
This is a full-time, permanent opportunity, offering a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package. Qualified applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis.
Salary: $180K - $200K
Responsibilities:
- Architect, prototype, and deliver distributed, cloud-native applications (primarily on AWS).
- Lead small engineering teams (≈5 developers) through the full software lifecycle: from requirements and design to deployment and support.
- Write, review, and guide high-quality code in Python (primary) and Java/.NET, plus front-end work in JS/TS/React.
- Define and evolve architectural patterns, coding standards, and documentation practices across teams.
- Evaluate tradeoffs between performance, scalability, cost, and delivery speed and make decisive technical calls.
- Build and maintain infrastructure as code (AWS CDK is a hard requirement, CDKTF is a plus).
- Lead Software Architect 1 Leverage AI-assisted tools to improve productivity, quality, and speed (e.g., agentic CLI tools (we primarily use Claude Code and Q Developer), RAG systems, code copilots).
- Collaborate with product and business stakeholders to translate goals into clear technical designs and milestones.
- Evangelize modern development practices including trunk-based development, CI/CD automation, and context-appropriate Agile/Kanban workflows.
- Create and maintain documentation: architecture diagrams, requirements definitions, and implementation guides.
- Serve as a mentor and technical authority for engineers across the organization.
Experience Requirements:
- 8+ years of experience as a full-stack or backend-focused engineer, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead capacity.
- Deep fluency in Python, plus familiarity with Java or .NET.
- Strong experience with AWS cloud architecture, distributed systems, and microservice design.
- Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code — Terraform, CloudFormation, and especially CDK-based frameworks.
- Working knowledge of front-end ecosystems (React, Next.js, or similar).
- Experience delivering end-to-end systems, from greenfield prototype to production deployment.
- Skill in documenting architectures and using collaboration tools (Confluence, Jira, Lucidchart, etc.).
- Exposure to AI-augmented development, LLMs, or RAG-based systems (or a strong desire to learn).
- Balanced understanding of multiple software methodologies — Agile, Kanban, Scrum, trunk-based vs. GitFlow — and when to apply each.
- Lead Software Architect 2 Excellent communication skills and a bias for action; able to simplify complexity and drive alignment quickly.
- Nice to Have Experience with event-driven systems, stream processing, or message queues (Kafka, Kinesis).
- Knowledge of containerization (Docker, ECS, Kubernetes). Familiarity with CI/CD automation pipelines and DevSecOps tooling.
- Background in scaling SaaS or multi-tenant architectures. Prior experience mentoring or leading small, high-velocity teams.
Skills, experience, and other compensable factors will be considered when determining pay rate. The pay range provided in this posting reflects a W2 hourly rate; other employment options may be available that may result in pay outside of the provided range.
