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.
