The Role: As our first dedicated Software Architect, you will partner closely with the VP of Engineering, product, and engineering teams to chart the next phase of our platform’s evolution. You’ll evaluate our current AWS Lambda- and cron-driven system, rationalize our database usage (DynamoDB and RDS), define service and integration patterns, and set standards for both the React front-end and the underlying Python Lambda services. This is a hands-on architecture role: you will spend time in the code, guide design decisions, mentor engineers, and set the technical direction. What You’ll Do: Assess the current architecture (React front-end, Python Lambdas, schedule-driven services, DynamoDB, RDS, Snowflake, UI) and identify short-term fixes and long-term improvements. Define and document system architecture, integration patterns, and data flows across services. Rationalize use of DynamoDB vs RDS; create consistent standards for schema design, indexing, and access patterns. Establish best practices for both real-time front-end-to-Lambda interactions and schedule-driven service workflows. Design systems with PHI (Protected Health Information) security, privacy, and compliance as a first-class concern. Collaborate with security/compliance teams to ensure HIPAA and SOC 2 readiness. Mentor engineers and influence technical decisions across the team. Guide build-vs-buy tradeoffs as we scale. What We’re Looking For: 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 3+ years in a senior architect or staff/principal engineer role. Deep expertise with AWS services (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, RDS, S3, Step Functions, EventBridge, CloudFormation/Terraform). Strong knowledge of Python and experience in modernizing Lambda-based systems. Experience with front-end to serverless back-end architectures (React → Lambda → data layer). Experience designing data-intensive systems and integrating with Snowflake or similar warehouses. Solid background in distributed systems, event-driven design, and API architectures. Strong database fundamentals: relational design, indexing, DynamoDB access patterns, and data modeling tradeoffs. Experience designing and operating systems that securely handle PHI or other regulated data. Ability to balance pragmatic short-term fixes with long-term scalable design. Excellent communication and documentation skills; comfortable influencing at all levels of the org. Startup experience preferred; thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments. Bonus Skills: Hands-on experience with modern React frameworks (Next.js, Vite). Experience with observability (CloudWatch, Datadog, OpenTelemetry). Background in regulated environments (healthcare, fintech) with SOC2/HIPAA compliance. Knowledge of data governance, lineage, or metadata systems.
