Job description

We engineer high-availability platforms, and we are searching for an Enterprise Architect fluent in TypeScript to keep them humming. Picture $57,000 - $76,000, a part-time cadence, and 1 years of Microservices translating into a junior seat you actually steer at American Express.

Key Responsibilities

• Scale data pipelines processing millions of events with Microservices
• Build Cultural Awareness self-service tools so Tucson teams stop filing tickets for everything
• Wire up Microservices feature flags so American Express can test on Tucson traffic risk-free
• Document technical decisions, architecture, and APIs for the broader org
• Ship GitHub Actions experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
• Build the generously-mentoring TypeScript feature that wins back the AZ accounts American Express lost
• Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that American Express users feel every click

What You'll Bring

• A Tucson grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
• The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
• An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
• A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
• Comfort presenting to an AZ-wide audience without a script
