The Essence of Excellence: The Gold Standards

The Gold Standards are the bedrock of the Ritz-Carlton experience, setting us apart in the industry and establishing a legacy of unparalleled service. These standards embody the values and culture that define our brand, and serve as the compass guiding our every endeavor.

The Employee Promise

At The Ritz-Carlton, our Ladies & Gentlemen are the most important resource in our service commitment to each other and our guests.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and maintain the technical architecture for all guest-facing digital platforms, including web, mobile integration layers, and APIs

• Set engineering standards: coding conventions, code review practices, branching strategies, and release processes

• Make key technology decisions in partnership with the Sr Director of Digital Technologies; document reasoning via Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)

• Contribute hands‑on full stack development across front‑end and back‑end layers (~50% of time)

• Lead technical discovery for new features and integrations, producing technical specifications and effort estimates

• Review and approve significant pull requests, providing constructive and standards‑aligned feedback

• Identify and address technical debt proactively, balancing delivery needs with long‑term platform health

• Evaluate and recommend third‑party tools, APIs, and services

• Serve as technical escalation point for the engineering team on complex or ambiguous problems

• Collaborate with the Senior Business Analyst to ensure requirements are technically feasible and properly scoped

• Share knowledge and elevate the technical capability of the team through pairing, documentation, and review

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 3+ years in a principal, staff, or lead architect capacity

• Deep expertise in React and Next.js for front‑end development

• Strong back‑end proficiency: Node.js, Python, or similar; RESTful and GraphQL API design

• Proven experience making architectural decisions for cloud‑hosted, production‑scale applications (AWS preferred)

• Track record of defining and enforcing engineering standards across a development team

• Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure‑as‑code, and DevOps practices

• Experience integrating with third‑party platforms: CRM, CMS, booking systems, or CDPs

• Excellent written and verbal communication in English

• Ability to work independently and manage technical priorities in a lean team environment

Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Have)

• Experience with microservices or event‑driven architecture patterns

• Open source contributions or a strong public portfolio

Key Competencies

• Technical Authority: Sets architectural direction and makes well‑reasoned decisions the team can build with confidence

• Hands‑On Engineering: Stays deeply embedded in the codebase — architecture is validated through code, not just documentation

• Platform Thinking: Designs systems that are scalable, maintainable, and built to evolve beyond any single project

• Indirect Leadership: Elevates team capability through example, review, and knowledge sharing rather than direct management

• Pragmatism: Balances technical idealism with delivery realities — knows when to build and when to integrate
