About the role

You will work directly with engineering leadership and product management, mentor senior engineers, and produce the standards, ADRs, and documentation that give teams clarity and autonomy.
The actual salary may vary based on a range of factors, including market and individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process.
The range listed above is a guideline and may be modified.

Lead the multi-tenancy design strategy, including data isolation, tenant routing, and compliance boundaries.
Own the Infrastructure-as-Code strategy using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation, establishing reusable modules and IaC governance across engineering teams.
Design the container and Kubernetes orchestration platform: cluster topology, workload scheduling, autoscaling, and namespace conventions.
In compliance with applicable laws, NetBrain conducts holistic, individual background reviews in support of all hiring decisions.

Experience leading architecture across multiple engineering teams - setting direction without owning every implementation.
Strong command of cloud-native design patterns: event-driven architecture, microservices decomposition, twelve-factor applications, and API-first design.
Ability to produce documentation that engineers can build from and executives can reason about
comfortable presenting tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.
Manual Dexterity: Repetitive motion of wrists, hands and fingers for using a computer.
Stationary Tasks: Sitting for extended periods, remaining in a stationary position.

Architect the event-driven messaging layer using RabbitMQ (preferred) or Kafka, including schema governance, dead-letter handling, and consumer patterns.
Define the polyglot persistence strategy across relational databases and MongoDB, including data modeling standards and backup/recovery procedures.
Establish the observability stack (metrics, tracing, logging, alerting) and SLI/SLO frameworks aligned to enterprise customer expectations.
Produce architecture decision records (ADRs) and documentation that guide engineering teams and inform product leadership.
8-12+ years in software or infrastructure engineering, with 4+ years in an architecture role for a SaaS product.
Deep, hands-on AWS experience across compute, networking, storage, and managed services - not just familiarity.
Proven track record of architecting multi-tenant SaaS platforms, ideally transitioning a product from on-premises or private cloud to public SaaS.
