Software Architect

Be the technical backbone of products that real people depend on. Techdome is a profitable, product-focused engineering company with 80+ engineers building across healthcare, fintech, AI, and SaaS. We’re looking for a Software Architect who treats production as the final exam: someone who designs it, ships it, and stays accountable for how it holds up under real traffic.

### The Role
As our Software Architect, you’ll set the technical direction for systems that handle sensitive health records and money movement for large user bases. This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll make the big calls, write code, and raise the bar for everyone around you.
###

What You’ll Own

- Architecture, end to end: system design, APIs, data models, security, scalability, observability, and cloud cost.
- Reliability at scale: uptime, latency, and performance for products serving large user bases.
- Security-critical design: safe handling of PHI and payment workflows, with compliance built in from the start.
- Cloud-native delivery: MERN applications on AWS, GCP, or Azure, using Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and secrets management.
- Key technical decisions: microservices vs. monolith, event-driven patterns, third-party integrations, and build-vs-buy.
- Production firefighting: diagnosing and fixing bottlenecks in performance, scalability, and availability.
- Engineering standards: reference architectures, reusable patterns, and clear guidelines the whole team can follow.
- Hands-on contribution: regular coding, design reviews, and code reviews.
- People growth: mentoring senior engineers and developing the next generation of technical leaders.

What You Bring (Must-Haves)

- 8+ years in software engineering, with a clear record of owning architecture.
- Experience running a production system with 100,000+ users (mandatory).
- Proven history of finding and fixing major bottlenecks at scale.
- Strong hands-on Node.js and React; MERN experience preferred.
- Solid cloud architecture experience on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- Background in healthcare, fintech, payments, insurance, or another security-critical domain.
- Deep understanding of distributed systems, API design, databases, and reliability engineering.
- The ability to explain and defend technical decisions clearly to engineers and stakeholders.

Bonus Points

- Hands-on HIPAA, PHI, or PCI-DSS compliance experience.
- Familiarity with Stripe, Braintree, or tokenization.
- Experience with high-availability, event-driven, or microservices systems.
- Exposure to SaaS, consulting, or venture-studio environments.
- Daily use of AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot.

Why You’ll Like It Here

- Ship products used by customers worldwide.
- Your architecture decisions go straight to production, with real impact.
- Define engineering standards for an 80+ person team.
- Work at a profitable, stable company with minimal bureaucracy.
