We're building a multi-layered AI platform with a growing microservice landscape, distributed teams, and a growing feature set. Architectural decisions here have a direct impact on product quality, development velocity, and scalability. You'll help shape those decisions - and you're not afraid to get your hands dirty.

 * Cross-service architecture: API contracts, data flows, service boundaries, and integration patterns
 * Technical leadership on complex decisions: database design, caching strategies, async patterns, security architecture
 * Create and maintain Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) - transparent and accessible to the whole team
 * Architecture-focused code reviews: not just "does it work" but "will it hold up long-term"
 * Close collaboration with the engineering lead and team leads
 * Help define development standards, patterns, and technical guidelines
