Senior Software Architect

Structured AI; New York (NY); On-site; USD 170,000 - 280,000; Full time

Job summary

Structured is seeking a Platform Architect to own the architecture of the Structured AI platform from New York City. You will maintain current systems and scale them as we onboard enterprise customers, guiding design decisions and leading the engineering team.

Responsibilities include restructuring doc processing and CV pipelines, enabling multi-tenant isolation, and setting standards for observability, CI/CD, and incident response. Collaboration with founders on technical roadmaps is required.

Qualifications

• 5+ years building and running production systems, with real ownership of architecture.
• Strong cloud background on AWS, Azure, GCP or similar: compute, networking, storage, IAM.
• Experience scaling a system through rapid customer growth and living with the consequences.
• Deep comfort with Python and TypeScript, Postgres, distributed queues and containerised workloads.
• Clear technical writing: you can explain a design, and its trade-offs, to engineers and customers.
• Bonus: GPU workloads, large-scale document or image processing, SOC 2 environments.

Responsibilities

• Own the platform architecture end-to-end: services, data, queues, storage and compute.
• Re-architect document processing and CV pipelines so throughput scales with customers, not headcount.
• Design for multi-tenant isolation, reliability and cost as usage grows by orders of magnitude.
• Set standards for observability, infrastructure as code, CI/CD and incident response.
• Review and mentor across the engineering team, and unblock the hard technical calls.
• Partner with the founders on technical roadmap, security reviews and enterprise requirements.

Job description

Full-time New York, US $170k–$280k + 1% equity YC-backed

The Role

You will own the architecture of the Structured AI platform. That means maintaining what runs today, and, more importantly, making it considerably more scalable as we bring on new enterprise customers at a rapid pace.

Every new firm brings thousands more drawings, more concurrent reviews, more GPU work and more integrations. The systems that carried us to this point need to carry us ten times further. You will decide how, then build it with the team.

What You'll Do

• Own the platform architecture end-to-end: services, data, queues, storage and compute
• Re-architect document processing and CV pipelines so throughput scales with customers, not headcount
• Design for multi-tenant isolation, reliability and cost as usage grows by orders of magnitude
• Set standards for observability, infrastructure as code, CI/CD and incident response
• Review and mentor across the engineering team, and unblock the hard technical calls
• Partner with the founders on technical roadmap, security reviews and enterprise requirements

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years building and running production systems, with real ownership of architecture
• Strong cloud background on AWS, Azure, GCP or similar: compute, networking, storage, IAM
• Experience scaling a system through rapid customer growth and living with the consequences
• Deep comfort with Python and TypeScript, Postgres, distributed queues and containerised workloads
• Clear technical writing: you can explain a design, and its trade-offs, to engineers and customers
• Bonus: GPU workloads, large-scale document or image processing, SOC 2 environments

The Technology

We work across AI, computer vision and full-stack engineering:

If you like big PDFs, GPU workloads, and systems that have to keep working while the customer count doubles, this is your place.

Why Join

• YC-backed, well-funded, and already generating revenue
• Rare combo: genuinely hard AI + a $2T industry that's barely touched by software
• Huge ownership: your architecture decisions ship and matter from day one
• Oxford founders: tight‑-knit team of engineers who love building things properly
• Based in New York City, in person with the founding team
