Lead System Architect
2 weeks ago
Lead/Principal Software Architect (Python, React, GCP & AWS)
Role Summary
We are representing a remote-first technology consultancy looking for a hands-on Principal Architect to define the technical vision for complex, global client projects.
As the senior technical authority in your domain, you will be responsible for making the critical architectural decisions that shape the future of our client's products, while also staying close to the code and mentoring senior developers and engineering leads.
This role is ideal for an expert engineer who thrives on solving large-scale technical challenges and is passionate about building secure, scalable, and resilient systems.
You will lead by example, setting the standard for engineering excellence and guiding teams to deliver high-quality software on a modern, cloud-native stack.
Why This is a Great Move for You
- Define the End-to-End Technical Vision This is your opportunity to own the complete technical strategy for major products. You will make the foundational architectural decisions, create the technical roadmap, and ensure the long-term success and scalability of the platform.
- Lead and Influence Across Teams Act as the senior technical authority and a force multiplier for our engineering organisation. You will guide multiple development teams, mentor Lead Engineers, and influence the broader technology strategy.
- Remain Hands-On with Modern Technology This is not a purely theoretical role. You will stay deeply technical by designing systems, writing proof-of-concept code, and setting the standard for quality with a modern stack including Python, FastAPI, React, Kubernetes, and multi-cloud environments (GCP/AWS).
- Solve Enterprise-Scale Problems Tackle the most complex technical challenges for large, international clients. You will be responsible for designing systems that are secure, highly available, and built to operate on a global scale.
What You'll Be Doing
- Owning the high-level architecture and long-term technical roadmap for key product areas.
- Designing scalable, secure, and resilient systems on GCP and AWS.
- Mentoring Lead and Senior Engineers to cultivate technical excellence within the teams.
- Staying hands-on by writing proofs-of-concept and establishing engineering best practices and patterns.
- Collaborating with product leadership and client stakeholders to align technical strategy with business goals.
What You'll Bring
- Extensive experience as a Staff, Principal, or Architect-level software engineer.
- Expert-level knowledge of Python and modern web frameworks like FastAPI.
- Deep architectural experience with cloud platforms (GCP and AWS) and container orchestration with Kubernetes.
- A strong foundation in Security Engineering and designing secure-by-default systems.
- Proven ability to lead and influence senior technical staff and communicate complex ideas effectively.
- Experience with frontend technologies like React is beneficial.
