Job description

Software Architect – Own the Architecture Behind Healthcare & Payment Products at Scale

Open for candidates who self-identify as Principal Engineer, Lead Architect, or Staff Engineer.

Hybrid (Hyderabad / Indore / Remote)

Experience: 8+ years | Type: Full-time | Stack: MERN + Cloud

This Is an Ownership Role, Not a Diagram Role

At Techdome you own the architecture and stay close to the code, accountable for it in production with real PHI and real money. You set the standard, defend it in PRs, incident reviews, and front of clients.

What Techdome Actually Is

Product venture studio with 80+ engineers across Hyderabad, Indore, Mumbai, Dubai, and the US. Bootstrapped, profitable, investing in products like a HIPAA‑compliant telehealth platform, AI interview platform, enterprise onboarding product, and payment/billing flows powering real money SaaS customers.

What You'll Own

• The architecture of our healthcare and payment platforms. System design, service boundaries, data modeling, API contracts, and the non‑functional requirements that actually decide whether a product survives security, scalability, observability, cost. You own the blueprint and the bar.
• HIPAA‑grade and PCI‑aware system design. PHI handling, audit logging, access controls, encryption at rest and in transit, tokenization and segregation for payment data. You design for the regulator and the auditor, not just the happy path.
• The MERN + cloud foundation. MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js as the core plus the cloud architecture (AWS / GCP / Azure) underneath: containers, orchestration, CI/CD, infra‑as‑code, secrets management, and the deployment topology that keeps a clinic or a payment flow up at 3am.
• Technical decisions with teeth. Build vs. buy. Monolith vs. services. Sync vs. event driven. Which third party to integrate and which to never touch. You make these calls with the evidence to back them and the credibility to defend them.
• Raising the engineering bar across products. Code review standards, reference architectures, reusable patterns, and the guardrails that let a fast‑moving studio stay safe. You multiply every engineer around you.
• AI‑native architecture and workflow. Our engineers ship with Claude Code and GitHub Copilot daily. You design systems that incorporate AI as a first‑class component not bolted on at the end and you architect for a team that builds with AI in the loop.
• Mentorship and technical leadership. You'll grow senior engineers into leads. You set the technical direction others rally behind, and you do it through influence and demonstrated judgment, not org‑chart authority.

The Stack

• Core: MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js (MERN)
• Also in play: Next.js, Python, TypeScript everywhere
• Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure
• Data: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
• DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Terraform / IaC
• Domains: HIPAA healthcare, payments / billing, B2B SaaS, AI automation
• AI tooling: Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor whatever makes the team faster

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years building production software, with a real architecture or principal‑engineer chapter you've owned system design end to end, not just contributed to it.
• Deep MERN expertise you can architect and go hands‑on in Node.js and React without a handoff.
• Strong cloud architecture skills on at least one major provider networking, security, scaling, cost.
• Demonstrated experience designing systems in a regulated or high‑stakes domain healthcare (HIPAA/PHI), payments (PCI‑DSS), fintech, or similar.
• The judgment to make irreversible decisions and the communication to bring a team along with you.
• Accountability you own the outcome of your architecture in production, not just the diagram.

Strong Plus

• HIPAA / healthcare compliance in production audit trails, BAA‑covered infrastructure, PHI access controls.
• Payment systems Stripe, Braintree, PCI‑DSS environments, tokenization, reconciliation.
• Event‑driven architecture, microservices, and high‑availability system design.
• Experience in a multi‑product, consulting, or venture‑studio environment where context‑switching is the norm.
• An AI‑native development practice opinions on how AI changes architecture and delivery.

We Don't Care About

• Certifications for their own sake. Show us the systems you've designed and what happened when they hit real load.

What Makes This Role Different

• You make the calls and you're trusted to. Rahul (CEO) and Gaurav (CTO) are active in product decisions. You'll have the authority to set technical direction and the founder backing to enforce it.
• You architect across domains, not one. Healthcare compliance, payment integrity, AI product design, B2B SaaS at scale you'll touch all of it. Most architects spend a career in one. You'll do it in a year.
• We are AI‑first, not AI‑curious. Our CEO is ranked the #1 n8n expert globally. Our CTO leads an engineering team that ships faster than companies 3x our size. AI tooling is the foundation of how we build and you'll architect for it.
• You'll see products from zero to exit. JustInterview.ai is on an M&A track. Wizlo is live with paying clinics. Sparrow is going enterprise. Your architecture decisions will be in the room when these products are valued.
• We debate ideas, not egos. The best idea wins regardless of who said it. As the architect, you'll be challenged and expected to challenge back with evidence.

Who You'll Work With

• Gaurav Chouhan (CTO) your reporting manager. Direct, technical, expects ownership.
• Rahul Joshi (CEO) GTM, client relationships, commercial direction.
• Engineering leads, delivery managers, design, and product across the studio.
