Software Architect

About This Role

Assessing the platform's architecture and defining a target-state design for an FDA-regulated SaaS product is the core of the Software Architect role. This position suits a technical leader with a strong background in software engineering and architecture principles.

Responsibilities

• Assess current system architecture, integrations, and data flows to identify technical debt, scalability constraints, and anti-patterns hindering sustainable software development.
• Audit the legacy monolithic system and clean up existing database schemas.
• Define a target-state architecture and establish bounded contexts aligned with Domain-Driven Design (DDD), clean architecture principles, and regulatory expectations.
• Design a flexible, fault-tolerant pipeline to standardize and extract data from multiple external vendor feeds.
• Design denormalized storage to accelerate read-heavy queries, backed by clear trade-off analysis, balancing data-access performance against data redundancy.
• Develop and execute a phased architectural roadmap and refactoring strategy that modernizes legacy components while ensuring the company continues to operate smoothly.
• Maintain strict backward compatibility for active users while removing duplicate data and redundant extraction logic across systems.
• Establish engineering standards, coding guidelines, and decision-making frameworks to promote consistency, maintainability, and extensibility.
• Support professional development by improving development workflows, CI/CD pipelines, testing procedures, and release processes.
• Facilitate knowledge transfer through mentoring, design reviews, and the creation of high-quality architectural documentation to equip the internal team for future maintenance.

Requirements

• Must be authorized to work for any employer in the US (e.g., Green card holders, TN visa holders, GC EAD, H4 EAD, U4U with EAD).
• Proven success operating as a Lead Software Architect, Principal Engineer, or similar senior technical leader.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, specifically SOLID and GRASP design principles and deep understanding of modern architecture patterns.
• Experience with layered system architectures, specifically Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Anti-Corruption Layer, Hexagonal architecture, or other clean architecture principles.
• Experience in designing, architecting, and scaling SaMD (Software as a Medical Device) solutions in compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Proven experience designing APIs, data models, and integration layers in complex, multi-language system architectures.
• Direct experience identifying and remediating technical debt, designing legacy modernization strategies, and executing large-scale refactoring.
• Strong background improving CI/CD and software delivery life cycles while maintaining system security, auditability, and resiliency in private cloud environments.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to convey complex architectural decisions to stakeholders and effectively mentor remote engineering teams.
• Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and demonstrate unquestionable character and integrity.

Nice to have:

• Experience with DB schema assessment, zero-downtime migrations, query optimization, denormalization strategies, and physical data layout optimization.
• Prior experience leading architectural changes within smaller development teams.
• Hands-on experience with modern virtualized deployments and private cloud environments.

Benefits

• Professional growth: Mentorship, Tech Talks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
• Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets.
• Exciting projects: Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies.
• Flextime: Flexible schedule with remote and office options.

Important Details

• Application deadline: 13 October 2026

Application Process

• Submit your application through the designated platform.
