SQUARESHIFT TECHNOLOGIES

Technical Architect

Location: Chennai, India (Hybrid) | Practice: Cloud, Data & AI | Reports to: Director of Engineering

About SquareShift

SquareShift is a Google Cloud Premier Partner, Looker Delivery-Verified Partner, and Elastic Skilled Services partner. We design and build production cloud, data, and AI/ML systems for ISVs, SaaS companies, and enterprises across the US and India.

Our work is technically dense — multi-tenant data platforms on BigQuery, semantic layer migrations to Looker, observability and SIEM on Elasticsearch, and a growing portfolio of internal agentic AI products. Architects at SquareShift are not slide-deck architects. They write reference implementations, pair with engineers, and own technical decisions all the way to production.

The Role

We are hiring a Technical Architect to lead the design of our most complex engagements and to set the technical direction for one of our practice areas — Cloud & Data Platforms, AI/ML & Agentic Systems, or Observability & Search.





You will be the senior technical voice on 2–3 concurrent engagements: scoping with clients in pre-sales, owning the architecture from RFC to go-live, and resolving the hard problems that engineers cannot resolve alone. You will also help shape our reusable accelerators (T2L, M2L, P2L, C2L for BI migrations; agent frameworks for Conversational BI and AIResolveX) so that the second engagement of a kind is faster and cleaner than the first.

What You Will Own

Architecture & Design
- Lead end-to-end architecture for client engagements: data platforms on GCP (BigQuery, Cloud Run, GKE, Dataflow, Pub/Sub), semantic layers in LookML, agent systems on Vertex AI / Google ADK, or Elasticsearch/OpenSearch deployments at scale.
- Make the deployment-platform call — Cloud Run vs GKE vs serverless — based on workload shape, latency, cost, and the client's operational maturity. Document the trade-off, don't default to one.
- Write architecture decision recor
