Solutions Architect

About The Role
We're looking for a Solutions Architect to own the technical architecture of our products and platforms. You'll work closely with engineering, product, and stakeholders to design scalable, secure, and maintainable systems. This role is ideal for an architect who still enjoys being hands-on with code and infrastructure, while also driving technical direction and standards across teams.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with product and engineering to design end-to-end solutions that meet functional and non-functional requirements (scalability, performance, security, reliability, cost).
• Define and maintain system architecture, including service boundaries, data flows, integration patterns, and API design.
• Translate business requirements into technical designs, architecture diagrams, ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) and implementation roadmaps.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to engineering teams (code/design reviews, best practices, standards).
• Evaluate and select technologies, tools, and frameworks; create reference implementations and proofs of concept.
• Design and oversee data models, storage strategies, and database schemas (SQL and NoSQL).
• Work with DevOps/Infra teams to define cloud and on-prem architectures (AWS preferred, plus bare-metal where appropriate).
• Ensure architectures adhere to security, compliance, and reliability standards.
• Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks across application and infrastructure layers.
• Contribute to and maintain architecture documentation, guidelines, and playbooks.
• Mentor senior and mid-level engineers on architecture and system design thinking.

Required Skills & Experience

• 8+ years of professional experience building web applications with PHP, including Laravel (or closely related frameworks).
• Strong expertise in system design and distributed systems: scalability, availability, fault tolerance, and observability.

• Strong knowledge of cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS) and bare-metal/on‑prem setups:

• Compute, storage, networking, IAM/security, monitoring, and cost optimization.

• Strong experience with databases:

• SQL (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) and at least one NoSQL technology.

• Data modeling, indexing, query optimization, and performance tuning.

• Experience designing and integrating APIs (REST and/or GraphQL), including authentication and authorization patterns.

• 3+ years in a formal Architecture or Technical Leadership role (e.g., Solutions Architect, Lead Engineer, Principal Engineer), driving technical decisions across teams or large projects.

• Solid understanding of:

• Software architecture patterns (e.g., modular monolith, microservices, event-driven).

• Caching, message queues, and asynchronous processing.

• CI/CD, version control (Git), and modern development workflows.

• Strong communication skills: able to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Golang: 3+ years of experience building production services or tools.
• Python: 2+ years of experience (scripting, services, or data/ML tooling).

• Knowledge of LLMs and AI agents:

• Understanding of how they work conceptually and architecturally.

• Experience integrating LLMs into products or workflows is a plus.

• Experience with:

• Containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Event streaming platforms and pub/sub systems.
• Observability stacks (metrics, logging, tracing).
• Security best practices (OWASP, secure-by-design, secrets management).

What We Offer

• Salary starting at $100,000 USD
• Unlimited PTO, with a culture that genuinely encourages time off.
• Flexible working hours and a remote-friendly environment.
• Competitive salary, tailored to your experience and impact.
• Opportunity to shape the architecture and technical direction of core products.
• A collaborative environment with autonomy, ownership, and room to grow into broader architectural or leadership responsibilities.
