Technical Architect

  • 7–10 years
  • Chicago, IL

Own the technical vision for our compliance and analytics platform—scalable architectures, integration strategy, and engineering standards that teams can ship against with confidence.

Key responsibilities

  • Define target-state and transition architectures across web applications, APIs, data platforms, and cloud deployments.
  • Lead architecture reviews, RFCs, and ADRs; align security, performance, and operability with product roadmaps.
  • Partner with engineering leads on decomposition, service boundaries, eventing, and integration patterns (REST, batch, messaging).
  • Guide build-vs-buy decisions, non-functional requirements, and disaster recovery / business continuity design.
  • Mentor senior engineers and consultants; raise quality of diagrams, runbooks, and release readiness checklists.
  • Support customer and pre-sales technical discovery with pragmatic estimates, risk registers, and phased delivery plans.

Qualifications

  • 7–10 years in software architecture, principal engineering, or technical leadership on enterprise systems.
  • Deep breadth across backend services, relational data stores, cloud infrastructure, and modern integration approaches.
  • Proven delivery in regulated or high-trust environments with accountability for outcomes—not slides alone.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable with executives, engineers, and customer stakeholders.
  • Hands-on enough to review designs and critical code paths; player-coach mindset.
  • Bachelor’s degree in CS, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to have

  • Experience in compliance-heavy domains (health, food safety, financial services, or audit-driven SaaS).
  • Hands-on familiarity with Python/Django, PostgreSQL, and observability stacks.
  • TOGAF, AWS/Azure architect certifications, or equivalent when paired with practical delivery.
