Role Summary:

Join Filevine as a Lead Architect to bridge the gap between complex system design and high-impact leadership, serving as a key technical visionary for mission-critical production systems. This is a unique opportunity to scale a mature platform while acting as a servant-leader and mentor within an elite engineering culture

Architectural Strategy: Design and oversee the development of high-scale, mission-critical production systems, ensuring they are modular, composable, and extensible.

System Modernization: Drive the evolution of "legacy" systems by implementing strategic techniques to migrate them toward a modern, target-state architecture.

Cross-Functional Translation: Act as a bridge between Engineering and non-technical stakeholders (Product, Security, Finance, etc.) to ensure business needs are reflected in technical designs.

Documentation & Visualization: Create clear technical documentation and complex system diagrams to communicate architectural visions across various mediums.

Collaborative Design: Facilitate design sessions and distributed conversations, ensuring engineering teams retain ownership of their work while benefiting from expert feedback.

Cloud & Cost Optimization: Manage and optimize cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS), balancing high performance with cost efficiencies and regional deployment needs.

Mentorship & Growth: Serve as a high-level mentor to engineering teams, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.

Technology Scouting: Monitor the broader computing landscape to identify dependable current technologies and emerging trends worthy of adoption

Proven Technical Depth: Extensive experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems, with a "lessons learned the hard way" mentality.

Expert System Modeling: Advanced proficiency in high-level service design and the ability to model interfaces for long-term scalability.

Data Layer Mastery: Deep working knowledge of various data persistence layers and a nuanced understanding of which use cases suit specific technologies.

Public Cloud Proficiency: Significant experience with a major cloud provider (AWS preferred), including a strong grasp of its capabilities and inherent caveats.

Communication Versatility: Exceptional verbal, written, and presentation skills, with the ability to tailor complex messages for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Leadership Mindset: A hospitality-focused approach to leadership, prioritizing being "of service" to the teams you support rather than exercising rigid control.

Collaborative Agility: The ability to propose solutions and integrate critical feedback without defensiveness, maintaining a focus on the best outcome for the product.

Domain Expertise: A proven track record as a domain expert in a specific focus area (e.g., Front-end or Data Architecture) while maintaining a broad understanding of the full stack.

.NET monorepo (C#), actively migrating from monolith to microservices

AWS infrastructure (ECS, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, S3, Kinesis, Elasticsearch)

Terraform for IaC; CI/CD pipelines; multi-region aspirations

Python AI/ML services; Temporal.io for workflow orchestration
