The Role
Own software architecture across product platforms, including system design, APIs, data modeling, security, scalability, observability, reliability, and cloud costs. Lead cloud-native delivery using MERN, public cloud, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code. Resolve production incidents and performance issues, establish engineering standards, review code, conduct design reviews, and mentor technical leaders. The role requires hands-on software engineering experience with large-scale production systems and sensitive healthcare or financial data.
Summary Generated by Built In
We don’t need an architect who draws boxes and walks away. We need one who ships the design and carries the pager.
Techdome is a profitable, product-driven engineering company with 80+ engineers building healthcare, fintech, AI, and SaaS products. Our systems store sensitive patient data and move real money for large user bases. We’re looking for a senior technical leader who thinks of production as the true test of any design and takes responsibility for the result.
What you’ll do
- Own the architecture: Lead system design, API contracts, data modeling, security, scalability, observability, and cloud spend across our products.
- Keep systems reliable: Be accountable for uptime, latency, and throughput as our user base grows.
- Design for security from day one: Build safe handling of PHI and payment flows, with compliance built into the architecture rather than added later.
- Drive cloud-native delivery: Run MERN-based platforms on AWS, GCP, or Azure with Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and proper secrets management.
- Make the hard calls: Decide between monolith and microservices, choose event-driven patterns, evaluate third-party integrations, and weigh build against buy.
- Fix what’s broken: Step into production incidents, trace root causes, and resolve performance, scaling, and availability problems.
- Set the standards: Create reference architectures, reusable patterns, and practical guidelines that 80+ engineers can follow.
- Stay hands-on: Write code, lead design reviews, and review pull requests regularly.
- Grow leaders: Mentor senior engineers and help build the next group of tech leads.
- 8+ years in software engineering, with a track record of owning architecture decisions
- Experience running a live production system with 100,000+ users (required)
- A history of diagnosing and resolving serious scale and performance bottlenecks
- Strong hands-on skills in Node.js and React (MERN preferred)
- Solid architecture experience on AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Experience in healthcare, fintech, payments, insurance, or another high-security domain
- Deep knowledge of distributed systems, API design, databases, and reliability engineering
- The ability to explain and defend your technical choices to engineers and non-technical stakeholders alike
- Direct experience with HIPAA, PHI handling, or PCI-DSS compliance
- Working knowledge of Stripe, Braintree, or tokenization
- Experience with high-availability, event-driven, or microservices architectures
- Background in SaaS, consulting, or a venture studio
- Daily use of AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot
- Your designs reach production quickly and affect real users
- You set engineering standards for a large, growing team
- A profitable, stable company with little red tape
- Products used by customers around the world
