We're hiring a Principal Architect to lead Granum's Architecture team and help drive the development of our technical roadmap. This is a hands-on player/coach role in which you'll lead a small team of architects and work in the code alongside them. You'll report to the CTO and work shoulder-to-shoulder with our Platforms, Product, and feature-pod leaders.

Our products are real, mature, and used every day by landscape professionals to run their operations. That means the interesting problems aren't greenfield; instead they are about executing a clean go-forward architecture and pulling a large, living codebase toward it without stopping the business. You'll help drive the application and system architecture across the portfolio, plan and develop platform upgrade tooling and processes (Angular, .NET, shared libraries), and reduce the technical debt that spans teams. Your job will be to provide the stable, secure, scalable foundation that feature teams build on by reducing systemic friction and clarifying technical direction so teams can deliver value quickly and confidently. 

We're also an AI-native engineering org. We expect agents to do a lot of the heavy lifting on code, and part of your job will be to make our architecture legible to both engineers and coding agents, which includes clear patterns, good context, and docs that live where they belong. If you think the future of this craft is orchestrating and reviewing rather than typing every line, you'll fit right in. This is a role for someone who has real opinions about architecture but holds them loosely enough to serve the team. We believe in YAGNI, KISS, boring technology, and community solutions over custom builds. Good architecture here means less complexity for the pods, not more.
