• Create detailed design models that guide engineers toward seamless implementation.
• Evaluate and recommend the best tools, frameworks, and cloud services for the job.
• Strategically contribute to the company’s roadmap and tech vision while handling the day-to-day design workload.
• Serve as a bridge between technical teams and business leaders, ensuring alignment across projects.

Who You Are

• Design Guru: You’re passionate about modern technology and understand the ripple effects of your design decisions across enterprise applications.
• Problem Solver: Comfortable with conflict resolution and decision-making in fast-paced environments (think startup/scale-up vibes).
• Visionary: You love being at the forefront of tech and can confidently suggest the best solutions to build impactful products.
• Communicator: Skilled at presenting complex ideas in simple terms to stakeholders and engineers alike.

Requirements

• Proven experience in designing web and mobile applications at scale.
• Strong expertise in architecture modeling and modern tech stacks.
• Experience with cloud services and their integration into enterprise systems.
• Comfortable with minimal coding but strong in architecture design and problem-solving.
• Hands-on experience with collaborative tools (and a love for the whiteboard!).
• A background as a senior developer transitioning into architecture is welcome.

Why Join?

• Work on technology that will touch over 40 million users.
• Be part of a strategic senior team during an exciting growth phase.
• Influence and lead the architectural vision of a rapidly growing team.
