Software Architect – Inspire11  

Elevens, as we call ourselves here, are curiously smart, purposefully scrappy, and dedicated to the highest standard of quality. By being true to ourselves and others, we create a respectful environment that enhances collaboration, drives growth through high expectations, and ensures alignment with our core values. Inspire11 is more than a modern business and technology consulting firm; we're a revolution. We work differently — and it shows. Every move we make is tied to measurable value, and our success aligns with our clients’ success. We partner to simplify the complex, solve sustainably, and stay ahead by continuously pushing our own thinking forward. Value creation isn't something we talk about — it's something we live, every day. 

At Inspire11, we're not just offering a job; we're providing a platform for you to transform the future. You'll feel right at home here if you think differently, build boldly, and lead with impact. We're a place where your unique perspective is valued, your boldness is celebrated, and your potential is unleashed. 

  • Growth Through Challenge:  We hold ourselves to the highest standards of excellence and accountability. At Inspire11, we are committed to delivering exceptional results and empowering our employees to take ownership of their work and drive meaningful impact. You'll work alongside elite consultants who challenge you to expand your skills and think even more creatively. 
  • The Autonomy to Do Your Best Work: Here, outcomes matter more than outputs. It's about the value we create. You'll have the autonomy to shape your work, drive decisions, and make an impact—not just for our clients but for your growth. You'll be challenged to think strategically, anticipate needs, and solve problems. Bold thinking, creative approaches, and challenging conventional wisdom are part of our DNA. Our clients rely on us to lead them into what's next. 
  • Diverse Perspectives Driving Innovative Solutions: We champion inclusivity and authenticity, knowing that diverse perspectives drive better solutions. You'll be encouraged to bring your whole self to work, knowing that's where true innovation happens. We also believe that doing great work should be fun. Our culture thrives on energy, camaraderie, and appreciating the unique contributions that make Inspire11 an amazing place. Our teams get energy from being the best they can be. 

What you can expect in this role: 

  • Lead highly collaborative, cross-functional development teams across multiple client projects in diverse industries
  • Partner with key stakeholders (CIOs, CTOs, Directors, and business leaders) to shape and drive strategic technology initiatives
  • Own the full software development lifecycle—from requirements gathering and architecture through implementation and rollout
  • Design, develop, and support complex, mission-critical applications and systems
  • Define and maintain architecture standards, best practices, and technical guidelines
  • Contribute to the evolution and enhancement of both new and existing applications, platforms, and components 

Tools for success: 

  • Experience architecting and delivering end-to-end software solutions—from modern front-end interfaces (React) to scalable back-end systems and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure)
  • Proven full-stack development skills with deep expertise in JavaScript (React, Node.js), Java/Kotlin, Python, and designing/documenting APIs
  • Adept at selecting the right tools, languages, and frameworks to match the needs of each unique software solution
  • Skilled in working directly with clients to lead projects from ideation to delivery in fast-paced, collaborative environments
  • Experienced with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions), and modern version control using Git
  • Skilled in Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) with a strong foundation in database design and development using both relational and non-relational systems (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
  • Passionate about mentoring, continuous learning, and shaping a modern, forward-thinking engineering culture
  • Actively explores AI/ML technologies and integrates them into solutions; stays current with trends in the evolving AI landscape 

This role requires the willingness and ability to be onsite at the Inspire11 or client location depending on project needs to maximize in-person collaboration and build stronger relationships.
