Architect, Software Engineering

Architect – Software Engineering Capability As an Architect in our Software Engineering Capability, you will act as the primary architect and technical lead on projects, scoping and estimating work streams, architecting and modeling technical solutions to meet business requirements, and serving as a technical expert in client communications. You will guide teams (usually 2‑8) through the implementation of software and cloud solutions, including the development of complex platform integrations, event‑driven architectures, engineered data pipelines, product engineering, and custom web applications. What You Will Do Work on complex, high-volume solutions leveraging technologies such as Angular, React, NextJS, Spring Boot, Python, .NET, and platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure Design and build advanced solutions involving agentic AI workflows, ML‑powered decision engines, and custom chatbots Tackle data challenges to drive business value, whether through traditional analytics or by preparing data for advanced AI/ML models Implement APIs on cloud platforms, automate infrastructure as code using Terraform, and collect/analyze data for cloud readiness and security assessments Engage directly with clients and stakeholders to gather requirements, ensuring solutions are meaningful and impactful Lead your team in client demos and other presentations, developing and showcasing your leadership skills Mentor junior team members and support practice and company development through R&D, peer training, and reusable solution accelerator development Set up product backlogs, code repositories, and build/release management tools Create presentation decks for client stakeholder meetings Coach and lead junior resources on projects Who You Are You are an experienced, hands‑on software architect with at least 6 years in technology consulting You spend at least 40% of your time actively developing code and have a passion for technology breadth, staying up to date on the latest application development technologies and trends across all software development disciplines and processes You possess a deep understanding of multiple technology development stacks, including UX, middle‑tier, and database platforms You are well‑versed in various software development methodologies and understand the benefits and challenges of each You lead teams developing complex, high‑volume, mission‑critical enterprise solutions from the ground up, using a variety of technical components deployed in highly available environments You have strong communication and interpersonal skills, able to engage customers at both business and technical levels, and can handle complex organizational dynamics to deliver client satisfaction You possess experience with one or more of the following programming languages: Java, Scala, .NET, Rust, client and server‑side JavaScript (React, Angular, NodeJS), Python, Ruby You have experience with one or more of the following cloud platforms and container technologies: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Docker, Kubernetes, and serverless architectures such as AWS Lambda You have experience with one or more of the following DevOps and automation tools: CI/CD platforms (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), infrastructure as code tools (e.g., Terraform), cloud‑native APIs, automated testing tools (e.g., Playwright, Cypress), and data automation tools (e.g., Liquibase) You incorporate AI tooling, efficiencies, and code assistance tooling in your everyday workflows How We Use AI to Enhance Our Work We believe in using the best tools for the job. For us, AI is a powerful accelerator, not a replacement for great software engineering. As part of our team, you’ll leverage AI to enhance your day‑to‑day development and contribute to cutting‑edge client solutions. AI‑Assisted Engineering: You’ll have access to AI‑powered tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor to boost your productivity and code quality. We adopt tools that fit the project, such as Amazon Q or GitLab Duo, to align with client ecosystems. Accelerated Design & Strategy: You can use our proprietary multi‑LLM platform, OmniAI (integrating OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic), to accelerate solution design, architecture, and estimation in a secure environment. Opportunity for Advanced AI Projects: For clients seeking a competitive edge, you may work on projects building sophisticated agentic AI workflows with CrewAI, deploying ML‑powered decision engines, or developing production‑grade chatbots. Continuous Learning: Supported by our dedicated "AI Tiger Team," you’ll have the resources to continuously learn and explore emerging tools, ensuring you stay at the forefront of modern software development practices. Compensation (Chicago Pay Range) : $130,000 – $170,000 USD Benefits : Health, mental health, vision, dental, and life insurance; prescription, fertility, and adoption benefits; community service days; paid parental leave; paid time off; 14 paid holidays; matching 401(k); Healthcare & Dependent Flexible Spending Accounts; and disability benefits.
