About the role
We are looking for a Solutions Architect to own the high-level design of our backend platform. You will turn product requirements into clear system designs, decide how services fit together, and guide engineering teams through implementation. This is a hands-on role: you will review designs and code, and step in where the architecture needs it. What you will do
• Produce high-level designs for recent features and services, covering service boundaries, data flow, APIs, storage choices and integration points.
• Review low-level designs and pull requests from engineering teams to keep them aligned with the agreed architecture.
• Evaluate trade-offs (cost, latency, scalability, reliability, security) and document decisions in architecture decision records.
• Design integrations with third-party systems such as ATS platforms, calendar and video providers, and AI/ML services.
• Define standards for service communication, error handling, observability, caching and data modeling.
• Identify technical debt and scaling risks early, and propose practical migration paths.
• Work with product, engineering and DevOps to estimate effort and sequence delivery.
• Mentor engineers on design thinking and system design practices. What we are looking for
• 8+ years of software engineering experience,



with at least 3 years in an architect or senior technical lead role.
• Strong experience designing distributed, service-oriented or microservice systems in production.
• Solid backend knowledge in Java/Spring Boot (or a comparable stack), plus relational and NoSQL databases, caching and message queues.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred): compute, storage, networking, IAM, and cost management.
• Good understanding of API design (REST, webhooks, async/event-driven patterns), authentication and authorization.
• Experience with CI/CD, containerization, monitoring and incident response.
• Ability to communicate designs clearly through diagrams and written documents, to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Sound judgment on when to keep things simple and when to invest in structure. Nice to have
• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
• Exposure to AI/LLM-based systems, real-time audio/video, or data pipelines.
• Experience in HR tech, recruiting or workflow-heavy products.
• Background in security and compliance (SOC 2, GDPR). Why join us
• Direct influence on core architecture while the platform is still taking shape.
• Close collaboration with engineering and product leadership.
• A role where designs are built and shipped, not left on a slide. n n
