Engineering Architect (Remote)

Salary: $230K - $250K base

Full Time / Direct-Hire

Summary:

Hiring an Engineering Architect to operate in a dual role: leading technical strategy within your tribe/discipline while shaping company-wide architectural direction. This is not an aspirational role — it requires a top-percentile engineering architect with a proven track record of leading enterprise-scale platforms through significant growth and complexity.

This role will set and drive long-term technical strategy, making high-impact decisions that ensure scalability, reliability, security, and architectural integrity. Must have demonstrated experience operating at enterprise scale — influencing across teams, aligning executive stakeholders, and delivering durable systems that support thousands of users and mission-critical workloads.

At the enterprise level, you will play a pivotal role in the evolution of a specialized legal case management solution to a massive, AI-powered Legal Operating Intelligence System serving large corporations, government agencies, and legal firms. This requires experience designing platforms that support multi-tenant scale, AI integration, data intelligence, and cross-domain interoperability.

Will collaborate with other senior architects to review proposals, establish standards, and ensure cohesive, forward-looking architectural direction that enables long-term enterprise growth.

Responsibilities:

• Architectural Strategy: Design and oversee the development of high-scale, mission-critical production systems, ensuring they are modular, composable, and extensible.
• System Modernization: Drive the evolution of "legacy" systems by implementing strategic techniques to migrate them toward a modern, target-state architecture.
• Cross-Functional Translation: Act as a bridge between Engineering and non-technical stakeholders (Product, Security, Finance, etc.) to ensure business needs are reflected in technical designs.
  
• Documentation & Visualization: Create clear technical documentation and complex system diagrams to communicate architectural visions across various mediums.

• Collaborative Design: Facilitate design sessions and distributed conversations, ensuring engineering teams retain ownership of their work while benefiting from expert feedback.

• Cloud Cost Optimization: Manage and optimize cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS), balancing high performance with cost efficiencies and regional deployment needs.

• Mentorship & Growth: Serve as a high-level mentor to engineering teams, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.

• Technology Scouting: Monitor the broader computing landscape to identify dependable current technologies and emerging trends worthy of adoption.

Qualifications:

• Proven Technical Depth: Extensive experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems, with a "lessons learned the hard way" mentality.

• Expert System Modeling: Advanced proficiency in high-level service design and the ability to model interfaces for long-term scalability.

• Data Layer Mastery: Deep working knowledge of various data persistence layers and a nuanced understanding of which use cases suit specific technologies.

• Public Cloud Proficiency: Significant experience with a major cloud provider (AWS ), including a strong grasp of its capabilities and inherent caveats.

• Communication Versatility: Exceptional verbal, written, and presentation skills, with the ability to tailor complex messages for both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Leadership Mindset: A hospitality-focused approach to leadership, prioritizing being "of service" to the teams you support rather than exercising rigid control.

• Collaborative Agility: The ability to propose solutions and integrate critical feedback without defensiveness, maintaining a focus on the best outcome for the product.

• Domain Expertise: A proven track record as a domain expert in a specific focus area (e.g., Front-end or Data Architecture) while maintaining a broad understanding of the full stack.
