we are looking for a Chief Architect.
The Chief Architect is expected to take ownership of initiatives from initial concept through implementation, deployment, documentation, and handoff to the team. This role is not suitable for candidates seeking a primarily advisory, review-only, or high-level architecture position without hands-on ownership of delivery.
Requirements: Education: Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field OR equivalent deep practical experience.
Experience & Skills:
~5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant architectural responsibilities.
Expert-level understanding of AWS (ECS, Lambda, networking, IAM, API Gateway, scaling strategies).
Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerization, infrastructure-as-code, and automated deployments.
Proficiency in Python for systems, services, and tooling development.
Deep knowledge of microservice architecture, distributed systems, and message brokers (e.g., SQS, Kafka, RabbitMQ).
Experience designing for scalability, reliability, resilience, and cost efficiency.
Hands-on experience with APM tooling (e.g., New Relic, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, etc.).
Strong understanding of API design, integration patterns, and operational best practices.
Proven ability to create effective diagrams, architecture maps, and system documentation.
Comfortable with GitHub maintainership, code review, repository ownership, and release processes.
Ability to work independently with high trust, full-production-access responsibilities, and strong ethics.
This position is open to all candidates.
