United States onlyAs a .NET Application Architect, you will join us in implementing software solutions that are well designed and take a long-term strategic view. By treating developers in a particular ecosystem as customers of common frameworks and libraries, our application architects seek to improve the overall quality and rigor of our software implementations. The team achieves this by guiding development teams from solution handoff to production, seeing where re-useable design patterns can be implemented and helping the team avoid costly anti-patterns and unnecessary code complexity. As masterful communicators and leaders within the engineering organization, they improve developer experience and throughput by advocating for the right technology for the job, and curating and championing a set of pre-solved engineering problems that are easy to adopt and release.

What you’ll do
Guide the implementation of software solutions by:
- Collaborating with developers to break down designs into implementation plans
- Choosing an appropriate persistence solution for the data being stored
- Using appropriate public cloud technologies when designing and deploying services
- Acting as a technical consultant on the feasibility and complexity of a design
Accelerate software development by:
- Developing, clearly documenting, maintaining, and teaching the core libraries and frameworks that make up our development ecosystem.
- Creating example projects that demonstrate the use of our libraries and frameworks.
- Seeking out cross-team patterns and needs and implementing new features in our libraries and frameworks to meet those needs.
- Publishing reference architectures for public cloud technology usage and deployment
Ensure our implementations meet expected levels of rigor by:
- Deeply understanding and championing our development standards and idioms
- Helping evaluate and offering improvement to software design to improve performance, resiliency, observability, and maintainability.
- Collaborating with our security team to comply with audits and address potential vulnerabilities.
- Understanding various, relevant compliance regimes (e.g. GDPR, CCPA, PCI, etc.) and educating developers on the requirements and designs they impose on our software.
