Job description

Summary

The Software Solutions Architect role is to lead customer-facing software development teams using C#, .NET, WPF, and C++. Beyond individual project ownership, you’ll guide multiple engineering leads, drive AI adoption, and deliver scalable, long-term software solutions while working directly with customers and stakeholders.

Position Overview

We are hiring a Solutions Architect to lead large, customer-facing software programs built on C#, .NET, WPF, C++, and Windows desktop technologies. This is a senior technical leadership role for someone who has grown beyond individual project ownership and can now guide multiple leads and engineering teams across complex workstreams.

The role requires strong architecture depth, hands‑on engineering credibility, delivery ownership, and the confidence to work directly with customers and stakeholders. You will drive AI adoption across the team, make sound technical decisions, challenge weak requirements, resolve ambiguity, and deliver software solutions that are scalable, maintainable, reliable, and built for long-term use.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead architecture, technical direction, and delivery execution across workstreams, owning design reviews, key decisions, and release sign‑off.
• Define and drive engineering standards, design patterns, coding practices, clean architecture, SOLID principles, and reusable approaches.
• Review system designs, interface contracts, data flows, integration points, and technical risks across complex, multi‑module environments.
• Provide technical leadership for WPF/XAML (MVVM, data binding, threading, performance) and C#/C++ development including native components, legacy modules, hardware integration, low‑level interfaces, and performance‑sensitive logic.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across multi‑process, multi‑threaded environments using logs, dumps, traces, profilers, and memory analysis tools.
• Own technical delivery planning, estimation, dependency management, risk tracking, and delivery readiness.
• Partner with customers, product, QA, DevOps, hardware, and business stakeholders to translate needs into practical, sustainable software solutions.
• Challenge requirements or approaches that introduce technical debt, delivery risk, or poor customer outcomes.
• Mentor senior engineers and technical leads, raising the bar on architecture thinking, debugging depth, ownership, and delivery discipline.
• Build alignment across local and global teams, supporting customer and cross‑site engagements as needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 12+ years of software engineering experience with proven delivery of complex software systems, including 4+ years in technical leadership, architecture, or large‑scale delivery ownership.
• Experience leading large engineering teams, multiple workstreams, or Senior Technical Leads.
• Strong hands‑on background in C#, .NET / .NET Core / .NET Framework, WPF, XAML, C++, and Windows desktop application development, with deep knowledge of MVVM, object‑oriented design, SOLID principles, design patterns, clean code, and modular architecture.
• Strong understanding of multi‑threading, asynchronous programming, memory management, inter‑process communication, native‑managed code interaction, and application performance in Windows environments.
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across complex, multi‑module, multi‑process Windows‑based software environments.
• Working knowledge of SDLC, Agile delivery, release planning, estimation, CI/CD pipelines, version control, code reviews, and software configuration management.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, and customer‑facing skills, with the ability to influence architecture and solution direction while balancing delivery commitments and long‑term product quality.

Good to Have

• Experience modernizing legacy C#/.NET/WPF/C++ applications or large Windows desktop platforms.
• Experience with performance profiling, memory analysis, UI responsiveness improvements, and reliability engineering.
• Exposure to backend services, APIs, databases, distributed systems, Windows services, Win32, native integrations, automated testing frameworks, DevOps, Linux, HPC, or high‑performance computing environments.
• Experience with software connected to hardware, instruments, automation systems, manufacturing systems, inspection systems, or other complex engineering platforms.
• Experience working with customers, field teams, service teams, application teams, and globally distributed engineering teams.

What Sets You Apart

• You identify customer pain points and take ownership without waiting to be asked.
• You can lead senior engineers, influence architecture across teams, and make balanced decisions that protect both customer value and long‑term product quality even in ambiguous, high‑dependency situations.
• You are equally comfortable in architecture discussions, delivery conversations, and direct customer engagement.

Benefits

• Growth opportunities to reach your highest potential; resources and support are available to realize your interests.
• Work hours are flexible within job requirements; support for mothers to excel at work while managing home responsibilities.
• Profit‑sharing eligibility from the second year.
• Health insurance for employees and families; gym and cycle allowance; health priority programs.
