As Software Architect, you will set the vision, define the strategy, and guide implementation of our API platform over the coming years. You’ll work closely with Engineering and Product leadership, other platform teams, and product squads to ensure our API ecosystem enables teams to move quickly.
Compensation: 11,300 - 13,000 USD per month (B2B)

- Act as principal architect for API-related initiatives, shaping system design and guiding teams through complex trade-offs
- Partner with product engineering squads to design and review API contracts and integrations
- Drive improvements in API reliability, performance, and observability (SLIs/SLOs, rate limiting, error handling, rollout strategies)
- Lead or sponsor key platform initiatives such as API gateway evolution, authentication/authorization integrations, system decomposition
- Mentor and coach engineers on API design, distributed systems and platform thinking - help grow senior talent around you
- Promote a culture of design-first collaboration (RFCs, system design reviews, architecture tasks) and help teams make pragmatic, well-documented decisions
🚀 What do you need to get this job?
- 10+ years of experience as a backend or platform engineer building and operating large-scale, distributed systems
- Proven track record in leading technical direction for complex systems
- Strong experience designing and evolving public or internal APIs (REST/gRPC/GraphQL): modeling, versioning, backward compatibility and deprecation strategies
- Experience driving cross-team initiatives: aligning stakeholders, defining roadmaps and delivering multi-stage projects that impact many squads
- Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals: reliability, scalability, consistency, latency, and failure modes
- Hands-on experience with observability (metrics, logs, tracing), performance tuning and designing systems that are safe to change and easy to debug
- Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical partners, influence decisions and build consensus around architectural direction
- Experience mentoring senior engineers and helping teams uplevel their system design and API design skills
