Job Description

Position Focus The Application Architect ensures that our software platform and solutions maintain interoperability and velocity across all implementation teams

In our evolving engineering culture, architecture is a shared practice focused on making "hard-to-change decisions"

You will help shift our architecture from a centralized bottleneck to an interactive, "pull-based" capability, enabling developers to build polyglot services that behave as first-class citizens in our ecosystem

Key Responsibilities

Execution Agentic Enablement

- Design Document: Design application services and document interfaces, patterns, and decisions with a focus on agility, performance, maintainability, and interoperability

- Codify the Architecture: Translate conceptual solutions into codified instructions and tuned markdown files for Agentic Enablement (IDE), allowing software engineers to dynamically "pull" architectural standards into their local workflow

- Drive Validation: Define and refine validation rules and scoring mechanisms to ensure architectural intent (eg, correct boundaries, policy metadata) is provably reflected in runtime behavior, not just in design artifacts

Planning Intake Shaping

- Early Shaping: Actively participate in the "Discover Define" intake phase to evaluate incoming feature concepts against core solution domains

explicitly catching boundary violations before technical design hardens

- Curate the Active State: Maintain application solution artifacts in centralized repositories, ensuring our body of knowledge reflects a single, coherent reality for both human consumers and evolving agentic systems

Continuous Feedback Operations

- Close the Loop:



Actively participate in the Continuous Feedback Loop by translating operational realities, systemic architectural debt, and telemetry into actionable updates for our agentic instructions and platform backlogs

- Align to Customer Value: Ensure the alignment of new capabilities to the customers business objectives and assist in the strategic resolution of complex, cross-domain customer issues

Creating a Culture of Trust Mentorship

- Distribute Capability: Foster a culture of communication by mentoring staff engineers and technical leads, helping them apply architecture principles independently without requiring direct intervention for foundational issues

- Collaborative Problem Solving: Engage directly with implementation, product, and design teams to solve complex design problems and ensure suitable collaboration across teams servicing single, customer-focused features

Qualifications

Qualifications

- 8 12+ years of experience in software engineering, with significant experience in application or solution architecture roles

- Strong experience designing and building distributed systems, APIs, and service-based architectures (eg, microservices, event-driven systems)

- Demonstrated ability to define and apply architecture principles, patterns, and standards that enable scalability, maintainability,



and interoperability

- Experience working in polyglot environments, with familiarity across multiple programming languages and frameworks

- Experience working with or enabling AI-assisted development tools (eg, code generation, copilots) or designing systems that support AI-driven workflows

- Strong understanding of system boundaries, domain modeling, and service design, with the ability to identify and prevent architectural drift

- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams (engineering, product, design) to shape solutions from concept through delivery

- Proven ability to influence and guide engineers and technical leads without direct authority

- Experience creating and maintaining transparent technical documentation (eg, architecture decisions, interface definitions, patterns)

- Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and make pragmatic design decisions

- Familiarity with modern development practices, including CI/CD, observability, and cloud-based platforms

- Experience using data and operational feedback to improve system design and reduce technical debt

- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences

- Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
