Software Architect

at  VersaPay

HOW YOU’LL MAKE A HUGE IMPACT HERE – AND ON YOUR CAREER:

This role is all about getting hands-on in designing & coding scalable and highly performant software with a smart, collaborative team. Reporting to our VP of Architecture, you will develop our unified/enterprise product architecture and key performance & scalability roadmap enhancements. You’ll also play a part in pairing, coaching, and mentoring fellow VEEPs (Versapay’s Empowered and Enabled People).
We’re interested to hear from individuals who are excited by: our stack https://stackshare.io/versapay/arc, 12 Factor Apps, retrieval augmented generation vs fine-tuning, ORM vs an RDBMS optimizer, data modeling 3NF, SQL vs NoSQL, OLTP vs OLAP, caching (invalidation), partitioning, large data sets, primary writes & distributed reads, event streaming, asynchronous queueing & messaging, horizontal scalability, high performance batch vs near real-time API, ETL integration, SSO & federated identity, CI/CD, TDD, to AI or to ML…and the list goes on and on but that’s ok because you never stop wanting to learn.

• Drive us forward: Design, develop, and test, product features satisfying business & technical requirements on time and on budget.
• Develop the big picture: Define & maintain architecture principles, patterns, and standards with particular attention to scalable, and high performing design.
• Get in the weeds: Triage and correct performance and/or data integrity concerns by reviewing & evaluating code, data patches, system logs, and process/memory/disk consumption utilization.
• Collaborate across teams: Partner with product analysts, customer care, DevOps, and other engineers on features and support cases, supporting technical decision making, and leading work that affects more and more complex systems and critical areas of our application.
• Lead research: Provide critical R&D to help us continue to design for scale and reliability as we grow (and we’re growing).
• Coach and mentor: provide guidance to junior-intermediate engineers on the team and others when possible.
