Summary Generated by Built In
We’re a growing team, and as we scale, so does our need to expand our engineering team. You’ll be joining a people-focused company, and as a Software Architect. This role offers the opportunity to influence, improve architecture and engineering practices, and shape the future of a core Vendavo product while working on both modern technologies and robust services.
THE OPPORTUNITY
- Architecture & Technical Leadership
- Define and own the technical roadmap for the platform, aligning architecture decisions with business objectives and product strategy.
- Design scalable, resilient microservices architectures using event-driven patterns (Event Sourcing, CQRS), message brokers (Kafka, Kinesis, SQS), and Data Mesh principles.
- Champion event-driven development practices across teams, designing domain events, event schemas, pub/sub topologies, and asynchronous communication patterns for loosely coupled services.
- Lead the architectural transformation from legacy monolithic systems to modern, event-driven, cloud-native services.
- Establish and enforce architectural standards, design patterns, coding guidelines, and technology guardrails across engineering teams.
- Conduct architecture reviews, threat modeling, and technical feasibility assessments for new features and platform initiatives.
- Write production-grade code in Node.js and Python, contributing to critical system components, proof-of-concepts, and performance-sensitive modules.
- Design and optimize complex ETL pipelines and data workflows involving Amazon DocumentDB (MongoDB-compatible), MySQL on RDS, and other AWS-native data services.
- Lead database schema design, query optimization, and data migration strategies across MySQL (RDS) and DocumentDB.
- Architect CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, infrastructure-as-code, and deployment automation targeting AWS EKS (Kubernetes) and other managed services.
- Drive the migration of legacy ETL processes (e.g., Talend) to native Python/Node.js-based data pipelines with improved reliability and maintainability.
- Partner with the Engineering Manager to translate business requirements into implementable technical designs and sprint-ready work items.
- Mentor and coach developers and QA engineers across both Scrum teams, raising the technical bar through design reviews, pair programming, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, DevOps, Security, and other engineering teams to ensure cohesive platform evolution.
- Drive technical decision-making through RFCs, ADRs (Architecture Decision Records), and collaborative design sessions.
- Champion engineering excellence: testability, observability, performance, and security-by-design.
- Drive adoption of automated testing strategies (unit, integration, contract, and performance testing).
- Lead security architecture reviews, penetration test remediation, and vulnerability management.
- Establish SLOs/SLIs and monitoring/alerting strategies to ensure platform reliability.
- Lead the design and integration of Generative AI solutions including LLM-powered copilots (e.g., Claude Code), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, and Model Context Protocol (MCP)-enabled architectures.
- Architect scalable and secure GenAI frameworks leveraging Amazon Bedrock, embeddings, vector databases, and advanced prompt orchestration strategies.
- Establish governance, monitoring, and guardrails to ensure responsible, reliable, and cost-effective deployment of enterprise GenAI capabilities. Good To have
