You'll bridge the gap between high-level business requirements and concrete technical solutions, working closely with engineering, product, and security to ensure our architecture supports both current needs and future growth. Major Responsibilities * Design and document system architecture for new products and major features, balancing scalability, reliability, security, and cost * Set and evolve technical standards, patterns, and best practices across engineering teams * Champion engineering excellence across the organization, driving adoption of best practices in code quality, test quality, design patterns, and enterprise architecture patterns. * Define and promote testing strategy and standards (unit, integration, regression, chaos) across teams, ensuring quality is built into the architecture upfront * Evaluate and select technologies, frameworks, and services for new initiatives * Partner with engineering leads to review designs, identify risks, and unblock complex technical decisions * Lead architecture reviews for major projects, including security and compliance considerations * Drive decisions on system integration, data flow, and API design across services * Identify and address technical debt, performance bottlenecks, and scalability constraints * Mentor engineers on architectural thinking and system design * Guide the architecture and governance of AI/LLM initiatives, including model integration patterns, data usage, risk controls, and responsible AI practices. * Own architecture and governance for agentic applications - including skills/tooling management, model selection and lifecycle management, and cost efficiency and optimization across AI workloads * Collaborate with product and business stakeholders to translate requirements into technical roadmaps * Stay current with emerging technologies and assess their relevance to the organization's needs ## Related Videos - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Blueprints for Success: Steering a Global Data & AI Architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1577-blueprints-for-success-steering-a-global-data-ai-architecture) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
