At Techdome, architecture means ownership. As a Software Architect, you’ll design scalable systems, stay close to the code, and own architectural decisions through production. You’ll help set the technical standards for an 80+ engineer studio working across healthcare, fintech, AI, and SaaS products.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end architecture, including system design, APIs, data models, security, scalability, observability, and cost.
• Design secure systems involving PHI, healthcare data, and payment workflows.
• Architect solutions using MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) and modern cloud infrastructure.
• Work with AWS/GCP/Azure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC, networking, and secrets management.
• Drive key decisions around microservices, event-driven architecture, integrations, and build vs. buy.
• Define engineering standards, reference architectures, and reusable patterns.
• Stay hands-on with code and participate in design reviews, PR reviews, and technical discussions.
• Mentor senior engineers and help develop future technical leaders.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of production software engineering experience with strong system design/architecture ownership.
• Strong hands-on Node.js and React experience; MERN preferred.
• Strong cloud architecture experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Experience with healthcare, payments, fintech, banking, insurance, or other security-critical systems.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, APIs, databases, scalability, and reliability.
• Excellent communication and the ability to explain and defend technical decisions.

Bonus Points

• HIPAA/PHI or PCI-DSS experience.
• Stripe, Braintree, tokenization, or payment systems experience.
• Event-driven architecture, microservices, and high-availability systems.
• SaaS, consulting, or venture-studio experience.
• Experience with Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or other AI-assisted development tools.
