Ignite Your Future: Strategic Leadership

Are you a distinguished technical leader ready to own the cross-stack architectural vision for an intelligent, adaptive SaaS platform? Sitting directly above our Senior Staff Engineering roles, you will serve as the chief technical authority for our full stack systems. At QAD, we are redefining the supply chain through a single System of Action that connects people, processes, and data. As a Full Stack Technical Architect, you will bridge high-level strategy with hands-on execution—driving architecture across frontend, backend, microservices, and cloud infrastructure while setting technical standards across engineering teams.

The Mission: Defining the Platform's Future

You will be the executive driver in setting the technical north star for the platform, translating the company's business strategy into a multi-year engineering roadmap, and ensuring architectural alignment across all product pillars. You will lead and mentorPrincipal-level engineers, leverage executive-level expertise in highly specialized fields to innovate at scale, and govern the development standards for cloud-native architectures, microservices, and Agile product development across all teams. You will be instrumental in ensuring the platform delivers on its core pillars:

- Adaptive Applications: The intelligent backbone powering the manufacturing enterprise.

- Champion AI: Agentic AI for manufacturing that drives measurable productivity and growth.

Your Impact/ What you will be doing:

- End-to-End System Architecture: Define, govern,



and execute the multi-year technical vision and architectural roadmap across the complete application lifecycle—from modern frontends to resilient backend microservices.

- Full Stack Standards & Governance: Establish and enforce enterprise-wide design patterns, API contracts, micro-frontend/microservices blueprints, and code governance standards.

- Hands-on Technical Leadership: Conduct deep design reviews, author architectural decision records (ADRs), resolve systemic performance bottlenecks, and write critical reference code.

- Next-Gen AI & Platform Integration: Architect robust full stack frameworks that support Adaptive Applications and Agentic AI workflows embedded directly into user-facing enterprise applications.

- Cross-Functional & Strategic Alignment: Collaborate with Product Leadership, Engineering Directors, DevOps/SRE, and Senior Staff Engineers to translate complex business objectives into scalable architectures.

- Technical Mentorship & Elevation: Mentor Senior Staff, Principal, and Lead Engineers, setting the technical bar and driving engineering excellence across multiple feature pods.

Core Technical Foundations / What we are looking for

- Frontend Architecture: Advanced mastery of modern web frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue.js),



micro-frontends, design systems, state management, and web performance optimization.

- Backend & Microservices: Deep architectural expertise in distributed systems, REST/GraphQL APIs, event-driven designs, and runtimes like Java, Node.js, Python, or Go.

- Data & Cloud Infrastructure: Extensive experience with relational & NoSQL databases, message brokers (Kafka/RabbitMQ), and cloud-native architecture (AWS/GCP/Azure).

- Core Engineering & Governance: Foundational expertise in Data Structures, System Design, Security (OAuth/OIDC), CI/CD automation, and high-availability design

The Mindset:

- Strategic Visionary: Solid conceptual and strategic thinking to understand the most advanced issues and implications, applying this knowledge to define and execute the future direction of the platform. Exercises independent executive judgment in setting organization-wide methods and evaluation criteria.

- Organizational Leader: Demonstrates end-to-end responsibility for the architectural and organizational health of the entire function. Capable of driving complex, multi-year solutions and influencing critical company-wide technology choices.

- Adaptability & Innovation: Eagerness to rapidly assess and strategically adopt cutting-edge technologies that create a competitive advantage.
