SE Architect

Job description

**Job Description** We are looking for a Principal Architect to take hands-on ownership of the most technically complex parts of the platform: How data flows in, how AI makes decisions, and how the platform talks to enterprise tools. This is not a strategy or advisory role. You will be doing the actual design and technical decision-making, writing specifications that engineering teams build against, and setting the technical bar for how things get built. You will work independently with a high degree of trust, and the broader team will look to you as the technical authority in your areas. **Experience: 10+ Years** **Work Mode: Hybrid** **Technical Skills & Requirements** - Experience - 10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with at least 3 years working as a senior or principal-level architect or engineer - A track record of designing and shipping systems that run at enterprise scale in production — not just prototypes or internal tools - Experience building platforms or frameworks that other engineers build on top of, not just application-level features - Comfortable working across multiple programming languages — ideally Java, Python, or Node.js - Data & Real-Time Systems - Experience building pipelines that process large volumes of real-time data reliably - Familiarity with message streaming platforms such as Kafka or Azure Event Hubs - Understanding of how to handle failures, retries, and recovery in data pipelines without losing data - AI & Intelligent Systems - Hands-on experience integrating AI or large language models into real production systems — not just experimentation - Understanding of how to build AI workflows that chain multiple steps together and use external tools - Awareness of the trade-offs between running AI models yourself versus using a managed AI service - Experience building systems that retrieve relevant context to make AI outputs more accurate - Integrations & APIs - Experience designing frameworks or platforms that connect to many different third-party tools in a consistent way - Strong understanding of how enterprise authentication and security works when connecting to external systems - Ability to design integrations that are reliable, recoverable, and easy to monitor - Familiarity with enterprise IT tools such as ServiceNow, Jira, or similar platforms
