Role Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Technical Architect who brings real-world architecture experience and excels at working collaboratively with engineers, designers, and stakeholders. This role requires deep technical understanding across our stack — spanning apps, SDKs, SaaS platforms, and distributed systems — and the ability to translate that knowledge into scalable, maintainable, and high-performing architectures that align with our design principles and long-term vision.

The Technical Architect will act as a bridge between technical strategy and implementation, driving architectural consistency across teams while remaining hands-on in guiding system design, documentation, and evolution. You will help define the backbone of our technology by analyzing, documenting, and improving complex systems — applying open standards such as C4 and maintaining clear records of Important Technical Decisions (ITDs) to ensure traceability and shared understanding across the organization.

You will collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and leadership to design robust and future-proof systems, foster architectural best practices, and mentor teams in achieving technical excellence. From leading design proposals and PoCs to defining reference implementations and modernization paths, you’ll play a key role in ensuring that every part of our technology scales with our ambitions.

Responsibilities

  • Design robust and scalable architectures for all sorts of systems (apps, SDKs, SaaS platforms, etc.) that are tailor-made for our specific tech stack.
  • 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.
  • Detect and explain core algorithms and design patterns that form the backbone of key systems.
  • 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.
  • Mentor and enable engineering teams in system design, architectural principles, and documentation best practices.
  • Keep up to date with new tools, frameworks, and ideas, and proactively identify opportunities to improve our systems, processes, and developer experience.

Qualifications

  • 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.
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze, refactor, and document complex systems.
  • Deep understanding of architecture principles, design patterns, and modern system paradigms.
  • Proven ability to identify and articulate key algorithms, flows, and design patterns in existing systems.
  • Demonstrated experience architecting systems for scale.
  • Demonstrated leadership in defining architectural standards and driving technical governance.
  • Strong problem-solving and system-level thinking.
  • Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration, including Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Practical experience with databases and data modeling, covering SQL and NoSQL systems.
  • Excellent grasp of DevOps principles.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
