What you will do

• Serve as a technical design partner to engineering leadership, shaping architectural direction and technical strategy.
• Drive and own key architecture decisions across the platform.
• Lead system-level design across backend services (Python), frontend architecture (Angular), APIs and integrations, data workflows, and multi-cloud deployment (AWS + Azure).
• Establish and evolve architectural standards for scalable service design, performance, security, and operational excellence.
• Partner with Engineering Managers and Tech Leads to ensure architectural intent is reflected in execution.
• Identify high-leverage cross-cutting improvements and lead initiatives that accelerate engineering velocity and stability.

Requirements

• 15+ years of software engineering experience, including responsibility for system architecture and platform design.
• Deep expertise in Python backend development, including modern frameworks and best practices for scalable service design.
• Strong understanding of frontend architecture principles, ideally with Angular.
• Experience building and evolving cloud-native SaaS platforms.
• Experience working in environments that require high reliability, scalability, and strong security posture.
• Strong engineering craftsmanship and a builder’s mindset.

Nice to have

• Experience building multi-cloud systems (AWS + Azure).
• Experience with enterprise workflow systems (procurement, supply chain, ERP integrations, etc.).
• Experience scaling architecture through growth stages (startup → enterprise maturity).

Culture & Benefits

• Decisive: you don’t avoid hard calls; you gather input, make decisions, and move forward with accountability.
• Pragmatic: you balance “ideal architecture” with practical delivery constraints.
• Collaborative: you bring people along and build alignment through clarity and respect.
• Hands-on: you can still code and prototype when needed, especially for MVPs/PoCs.
• High standards: you care deeply about engineering quality, both technical and cultural.
