Software Architect

About the Role

We are looking for an exceptional Software Architect to design, build and deploy cloud solutions in Azure or AWS and lead design and compliance conversations with customer teams. This role requires strong engineering experience, customer facing soft skills and a high-ownership mindset. The ideal candidate brings positive energy, resilience, and a strong bias for action to lead complex projects through challenges and across the finish line. A background in formal engineering is a strong advantage.

You will own the technical delivery of client engagements from discovery through project close. This includes shaping the solution, contributing to scope and estimates, approving the technical approach, supporting team formation, leading technical readiness, and driving delivery quality. You will make key technical tradeoff decisions, communicate progress and risks to management, escalate scope or feasibility concerns early, and ensure projects reach successful milestone and final completion.
