Architect I

Join Filevine as a Lead Architect to bridge the gap between complex system design and high-impact leadership, serving as a key technical visionary for mission-critical production systems. This is a unique opportunity to scale a mature platform while acting as a servant-leader and mentor within an elite engineering culture.

Requirements

• Design and oversee the development of high-scale, mission-critical production systems, ensuring they are modular, composable, and extensible.
• Drive the evolution of 'legacy' systems by implementing strategic techniques to migrate them toward a modern, target-state architecture.
• Act as a bridge between Engineering and non-technical stakeholders (Product, Security, Finance, etc.) to ensure business needs are reflected in technical designs.
• Create clear technical documentation and complex system diagrams to communicate architectural visions across various mediums.
• Facilitate design sessions and distributed conversations, ensuring engineering teams retain ownership of their work while benefiting from expert feedback.
• Manage and optimize cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS), balancing high performance with cost efficiencies and regional deployment needs.
• Serve as a high-level mentor to engineering teams, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
• Monitor the broader computing landscape to identify dependable current technologies and emerging trends worthy of adoption.
