Company

hirify.global is building an AI-native platform for software development that connects developer workflows, team collaboration, and organizational control into a single coherent system.

What you will do

• Design and evolve the architecture of a cross-product platform for AI-driven software development.
• Define architectural principles, standards, and guidelines for platform services and shared foundations.
• Design integration patterns and interfaces between platform services, developer tools, and external systems.
• Ensure architectural decisions support scalability, reliability, security, and observability.
• Own and drive key platform-level architectural decisions and trade-offs (e.g., service boundaries, data flows, identity, policy, tenancy).
• Review and validate architectural designs across teams and collaborate with other architects and senior engineers on technical designs.

Requirements

• Strong experience in software engineering and system design, especially in complex, distributed systems.
• Experience defining or significantly shaping the architecture of new platforms or large-scale systems.
• Ability to facilitate and align architectural decisions across multiple teams.
• Comfortable working in an environment where many processes and standards are still being formed.
• Thinks in long-term horizons and is motivated by building foundational systems.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience designing or evolving platforms based on Kubernetes and cloud environments such as AWS.
• Experience with networking, compute, and storage infrastructure.
• Enjoys helping teams converge on good solutions rather than enforcing a single approach.
