Principal Solution / Technical Architect

We are looking for a Principal Solution / Technical Architect with a strong engineering background and a proven track record of leading technical discovery, shaping solution architectures, and driving pre-sales activities. This role focuses on pre-sales, discovery, PoC development, prototyping, preparing technical proposals, and guiding early project phases until the engineering team is fully established.

Experience leading engineering teams is a plus, as it helps structure delivery teams and plan execution for client proposals. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with excellent communication skills to interact with client stakeholders at all levels, including C-level executives.

Scope of tasks and ownership:

Pre-Sales and Technical Proposals

• Lead the technical part of pre-sales cycles: architecture vision, effort estimations, risk assessment, and technical feasibility validation

• Build fast PoCs and prototypes using rapid development tools to validate business ideas and technical approaches

• Prepare technical proposals that include architectural options, trade-off analyses, and delivery assumptions

• Participate in client discovery sessions and calls, presenting technical decisions to stakeholders at all levels, including C-level executives

Architecture and System Design

• Define system architecture for greenfield projects and legacy system modernization

• Audit existing systems and provide consulting on improvement strategies, technical debt reduction, and modernization paths

• Create architecture documents covering system components, integrations, data flow, APIs, storage design, security, and operational model

• Ensure alignment with performance, scalability, security, and compliance requirements (especially for healthcare projects)

• Design data pipelines and data-processing flows (batch, streaming, ETL/ELT)

Project Initiation

• Support the initial project phase until the engineering team is onboarded

• Help form initial delivery plans, backlog structure, technical milestones, and team composition

• Guide tech stack selection, integration strategy, and development workflow
  

What You’ll need:

Technical Expertise

• 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience in senior/lead roles

• Deep technical background with modern backend stacks: at least JavaScript/TypeScript or Python. Java or other languages as a plus

• Full-stack understanding: backend architecture, frontend (React/Next.js), and basic mobile architecture understanding (SDLC, team structure, not requiring contributor-level expertise)

• Experience with both greenfield projects and legacy system modernization

• Hands-on experience with rapid prototyping and PoC building using appropriate tools for fast business idea validation

• Practical experience architecting microservices, data pipelines (ETL/ELT), API platforms, and event-driven systems

• Experience with AI integrations and basic understanding of AI/LLM capabilities and application patterns

• Familiar with cloud engineering, primarily AWS (Azure and GCP as a plus)

• Understanding of CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, and secure development practices

• Architecture-level knowledge of relational/NoSQL databases, caching, messaging systems, and distributed patterns

Pre-Sales and Leadership Experience

• Experience supporting pre-sales cycles or preparing technical proposals

• Ability to evaluate architecture options and present trade-offs

• Experience planning engineering team structure and estimating project complexity (engineering lead background is a plus)

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and fact-based reasoning skills

• Excellent communication and soft skills: ability to communicate with client stakeholders at all levels, including C-level (CTO, CEO, etc.)

• Healthcare domain experience (HIPAA, PHI, compliance frameworks) is a strong plus

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Domain-driven design experience

• Machine learning knowledge and experience

• Experience building analytics solutions

• Prior consulting or solution-architecture experience
  

Our benefits:

• No micromanagement

• Freedom to engage in decision-making and implementation

• Ability to work in a team of professionals (the ratio of middle and above specialists 80/20)

• Participation in the development of high-quality products

• Direct communication with clients on a partnership level

• Professional development opportunities ($600 education budget, well-managed processes, communities, internal library)

• Health insurance

• $600 extra for health care, sports, or mental health

• 20 paid working days off and 10 days sick leave

• Opportunity to work remotely
