🏗️ Remote Software Architect

💡 Shape the Future of Scalable Systems — From Anywhere

Are you passionate about designing transformative software architectures that drive impact across global platforms? We seek a Remote Software Architect to join our inclusive workplace and lead the development of secure, scalable, high-performing systems. With an annual salary of $160,000, this is an opportunity to craft meaningful solutions while working alongside a collaborative, diverse team—no matter where you are.

🧭 About the Role

As a Software Architect, you will play a pivotal role in defining the blueprint of our technical direction. From microservices and cloud infrastructure to distributed systems and emerging frameworks, your decisions will directly influence the experience of millions of users. We seek someone who understands software engineering principles and values people, process, and progress equally.

Your leadership will guide product engineering teams, influence design choices, and promote architectural patterns that support long-term maintainability and agility.

🤝 A Culture Rooted in Inclusion

We believe the best solutions come from teams that reflect various experiences and perspectives. Our workplace champions mutual respect, psychological safety, and equal opportunity. One of our team members, a veteran developer who returned to the tech world after a decade-long break, found their voice here because our culture embraces everyone, whether you're starting fresh or scaling new heights.

We support work-life integration, celebrate cultural uniqueness, and invest in your personal and professional growth. Here, your background is not just accepted—it’s celebrated.

🔍 Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and implementation of robust software architectures that scale globally.
  • Define technical roadmaps in collaboration with product, design, and engineering stakeholders.
  • Evaluate trade-offs and recommend frameworks, languages, and patterns that align with product goals.
  • Conduct architectural reviews, threat modeling, and system optimization efforts.
  • Guide and mentor engineering teams with empathy and clarity.
  • Ensure all architectural decisions meet compliance, security, and operational standards.
  • Foster a strong engineering culture rooted in autonomy, inclusivity, and innovation.

🛠️ Tools and Technologies You May Use

We welcome architects with a strong foundation in core software principles, regardless of the exact stack. Some of the technologies in our environment include:

  • Cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
  • Microservices architecture, RESTful APIs, and event-driven design
  • Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Pulumi)
  • Container orchestration with Kubernetes or Docker Swarm
  • Observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry
  • CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and DevSecOps tools
  • Modern programming languages such as Go, Java, Rust, or TypeScript

Even if your background doesn’t align with all these tools, we’re more interested in your architectural mindset and adaptability than checking off a list.

🌎 What It’s Like to Work Here

As a fully remote team, we believe proximity shouldn’t dictate opportunity. Our architects collaborate across time zones and bring a global perspective to every decision. You’ll work in an environment where feedback flows openly, all voices are welcome, and experimentation is encouraged.

We embrace asynchronous communication, provide generous focus time, and respect boundaries around work and rest. Our leadership model isn’t based on hierarchy but on mutual trust, technical excellence, and compassionate leadership.

🧩 Qualifications & Experience

  • 8+ years of experience in software development, with 3+ years in an architectural or technical leadership capacity
  • Proven expertise in designing scalable, resilient, and secure systems
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, domain-driven design, and cloud-native patterns
  • Ability to articulate complex concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Demonstrated mentorship and cross-functional collaboration experience
  • Familiarity with agile principles and iterative delivery
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Passion for creating a diverse team and contributing to an inclusive workplace

🌱 Growth & Development Opportunities

We believe in nurturing long-term careers. Here’s how we’ll support your journey:

  • Annual professional development budget for certifications, courses, or conferences
  • One-on-one mentorship and peer learning sessions
  • Internal architecture roundtables and innovation days
  • Clear paths for advancement into Principal Architect or Engineering Director roles
  • Opportunity to drive initiatives around green computing, data ethics, and tech-for-good

🌈 An Equal Opportunity Employer

We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, disability, veteran status, or background. Diversity isn’t a checkbox—it’s the foundation of creative collaboration and long-term success.
