Principle Software Architect

Verita AI is building a job matching platform that connects domain experts with high-paying data training opportunities at the world's leading AI labs. Think of it as a job marketplace built specifically for the people powering frontier AI: experts in engineering, creativity, finance, and beyond, matched directly with the training opportunities that need their expertise most.

Our platform makes the experience of contributing to AI training feel intuitive, rewarding, and even fun. Built-in leaderboards, gamification, and progression systems turn high-quality work into recognition and growth. Our matching engine routes experts to the projects best suited to their skills, and our talent management tooling measures, ranks, and rewards performance at scale. We recently raised a $6 million seed round led by Kindred Ventures.

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years building production software; exceptional evidence of systems-level impact matters more than a precise year count
• Architecture with receipts: you have designed and evolved a live platform, led difficult migrations, and can explain the operational results
• Deep systems judgment: strong Python with Django or FastAPI, PostgreSQL, background jobs, queues, distributed workflows, and third-party integrations
• Cloud and security depth: production AWS, Terraform, IAM, storage, secrets, observability, incident response, and safe deployment practices
• Workflow and data rigor: state machines, financial and time data, audit trails, idempotency, privacy, and backwards-compatible change

Nice to have

• Experience architecting marketplace, annotation, or expert-network platforms
• Prior work with SSO and OIDC, multi-tenant authorization, or PII and protected-media controls

Skills & Capabilities

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
• Strong analytical mindset with a bias toward data-driven decision-making
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and structuring problems from scratch
• Hands-on leadership: you make clear decisions, reduce complexity, review deeply, coach well, and communicate directly with founders, product, and operations
• Competitive base salary commensurate with experience

Mindset & Work Style

• Entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for building, iterating, and scaling
• Comfortable with gritty execution work: these are hands-on, operationally intensive roles
• Obsessed with quality, attention to detail, and delivering exceptional client experiences
• Excited by the opportunity to shape the infrastructure behind frontier AI development

Key Highlights

• Work directly with researchers and engineers at the world's most advanced AI labs
• Own the architecture connecting our marketplace, annotation, AI interviewing, and analytics systems, from the target system map to the highest-risk migrations
• Be the technical force multiplier for the whole engineering team as the company scales

If this sounds like the kind of environment in which you would thrive, we would love to meet you.
