A client of ours is seeking a Software Architect to take full ownership of the architecture for a high-scale, real-time platform currently being rebuilt on a modern AWS stack. The business is adopting an agentic-first delivery model, where AI agents contribute meaningfully alongside a small, senior engineering team. This is a system-defining role, not a ticket-reviewing position. You will set the architectural direction, standards, and guardrails that enable fast, consistent delivery without drift.
The Opportunity
You will play a key role in shaping how a modern platform is designed, built, and scaled in an environment where AI-assisted development is a core part of the delivery model. The focus is on creating systems that are robust, adaptable, and capable of handling high-throughput, bursty demand.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and define the overall system architecture across AWS, including core services and serverless components for asynchronous workloads.
- Design high-volume, high-performance data-access layers to support real-time demand.
- Establish technical standards, patterns, and architectural boundaries, ensuring they are enforced through CI and automation.
- Lead solution design and ensure a strong definition-of-ready before development begins.
