We are looking for a Senior Software Architect to help define and evolve the architecture of our SaaS platform and core products. You will work closely with product, delivery, and engineering squads to design scalable, reliable systems, set technical direction, and guide teams in making high‑quality architectural decisions that balance delivery speed with long‑term sustainability.
This is a hands‑on, senior technical leadership role: you will spend most of your time shaping architectures with teams, reviewing designs and critical code, and driving shared standards and patterns across the organization, all in an advance agentic environment.
Responsibilities:
Architecture & technical leadership:
Define and evolve the architecture for key domains in our platform (APIs, services, data flows, integration, observability, security).
Translate business and product requirements into clear, pragmatic technical designs and architecture roadmaps.
Create and maintain architecture artefacts: diagrams, decision records (ADRs), reference implementations, and guidelines.
Evaluate design options and technology choices, articulate trade‑offs, and lead the decision‑making process with stakeholders.
Push forward the agentic mindset and implementation.
Working with squads (R&D):
Partner with squad leads and senior engineers to design solutions, break down complex problems, and keep implementations aligned with the target architecture.
Participate in design / tech reviews, ensuring non‑functional requirements (performance, resilience, security, operability) are addressed early.
Provide hands‑on support where it matters most: spike and prototype critical flows, review complex pull requests, and help debug tricky production issues.
Partnering with Product:
Collaborate with Product to shape technical feasibility, sequencing, and scope for roadmap items and cross‑squad initiatives.
Communicate complex technical topics in simple language to non‑technical stakeholders when discussing roadmap options and trade‑offs.
Standards, reuse, and platform mindset:
Define and promote architecture principles, coding standards, and reusable patterns (modules, libraries, services) that reduce duplication and technical debt.
Champion platform thinking: design services and components that can be safely reused across teams and products.
Drive adoption of shared platform capabilities (observability, CI/CD, authentication, data, DevOps tooling) across squads.
Quality, reliability, and continuous improvement:
Ensure architectures are observable, operable, and resilient by design; partner with DevOps/SRE on deployment, monitoring, and incident response.
Identify areas of high technical debt or architectural risk and lead structured remediation initiatives.
Help define and track technical KPIs (e.g., performance, reliability, incident volume) tied to architecture decisions.
Mentoring and leadership:
Act as a technical mentor and sounding board for senior engineers and tech leads, helping them grow their architecture skills.
Foster a culture of thoughtful design, documentation, and constructive technical debate.
Lead by influence rather than authority: you help teams make better decisions instead of making every decision for them.

Required Senior/Principal Backend Engineer - Application (Cortex Platform)
Job Summary
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Cortex Platform Application team, you will be a hands-on technical leader responsible for designing, building, and operating critical backend platform services used across Cortex. This role is for an engineer who can combine deep platform/backend expertise with strong ownership, practical execution, and cross-team influence. You will help build scalable and reliable services, guide technical decisions, improve engineering methods, mentor engineers, and raise the quality of how the team designs, ships, documents, tests, and operates its systems. The team owns a broad set of platform capabilities, including areas such as application configuration, dashboards and reporting infrastructure, metrics, multi-tenant and MSSP infrastructure, log forwarding, notifications, auditing, access and permission engines, filtering and querying infrastructure, and other shared application platform domains. We are looking for someone who is not only strong technically, but also enjoys joining a high-performing team, taking ownership from within, and helping turn strong execution into repeatable engineering practice. A successful candidate will quickly become a trusted part of the team by shipping meaningful work, learning the team's domains, and helping others move faster. Over time, this person will help the team increase delivery capacity while also improving how work is designed, documented, tested, operated, and shared across the organization. The right person will not act as an external advisor or abstract architect. They will join the team's day-to-day work, earn trust through execution, and help create organized technical influence from inside the team.
Key Responsibilities:
Design, build, and operate scalable, reliable, and secure backend services for the Cortex Platform.
Act as a hands-on technical leader, writing and reviewing production code for critical platform services.
Lead technical design for complex backend and platform domains, balancing long-term architecture with practical delivery.
Own and improve core platform capabilities used by internal engineering teams and Cortex customers.
Drive operational excellence, including observability, monitoring, alerting, incident response, reliability, and participation in on-call.
Improve engineering methods around documentation, testing, design reviews, ownership models, and production readiness.
Mentor senior, mid-level, and junior engineers through design guidance, code reviews, production work, and day-to-day collaboration.
Collaborate closely with product managers, architects, security experts, QA, DevOps, and other engineering teams.
Help internal customers use platform capabilities correctly by creating clarity, alignment, and practical technical guidance.
Identify gaps in systems, processes, and ownership, and lead improvements without adding unnecessary process or friction.
Contribute to a calm, practical, low-ego engineering culture focused on ownership, execution, and continuous improvement.
