Job Description
Chief Architect responsible for defining technical architecture for Employ's product landscape. Leading technical direction toward a unified, AI-enabled platform with a remote-first team.
Responsibilities:
- Define the target-state architecture for the company’s platform evolution
- Drive architectural direction across APIs, services, integration patterns, data, identity, and AI-enabled capabilities
- Help the company move from fragmented systems toward a more coherent platform model
- Guide major architectural decisions with clear reasoning, tradeoff analysis, and pragmatic recommendations
- Identify architectural bottlenecks, duplication, scaling risks, and structural weaknesses
- Focus leadership attention on the technical decisions that matter most
- Establish architecture standards, review mechanisms, and decision frameworks that improve quality without slowing teams down
- Create enough discipline to drive coherence, but not so much process that architecture becomes dead weight
- Lead or influence prototyping efforts for new platform capabilities, architectural shifts, and future-state patterns
- Validate important ideas quickly before the company overcommits to bad assumptions
- Partner deeply with engineering leadership and senior engineers
- Raise the technical bar through clarity, credibility, and sound judgment
- Act as a force multiplier, not a bottleneck
Requirements:
- Deep technical judgment and strong systems thinking
- Ability to reason from first principles and communicate tradeoffs clearly
- Strong understanding of modern SaaS architecture, APIs, distributed systems, data design, and platform evolution
- Ability to balance long-term design with practical delivery needs
- We care less about how many years you’ve been called an architect and more about whether you can actually lead architecture at this level.
Benefits:
- Unlimited PTO: Trust-based time off so you can recharge and bring your best self to work.
- Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage to support you and your family’s health and well-being.
- Learning & development programs: Access to training, mentorship, and development resources to grow your skills — from HR operations to total rewards strategy.
