About United Field Services

United Field Services (UFS) is a nationwide property preservation, maintenance, inspection, and residential services company. We operate a custom-built management platform (MS) and mobile app used by clients, vendors, and internal teams across the United States.

As we expand rapidly, we are seeking a Senior Software Architect to lead the redesign, stabilization, and long-term evolution of our platform’s architecture and logic.

Position Overview

We are looking for a high-level Software Architect who can take full ownership of our system architecture, eliminate overlapping logic, redesign core flows, and ensure our platform is stable, scalable, and ready for advanced AI-driven automation.

This is NOT a basic developer role — this is a strategic technical leadership role responsible for defining the structure, logic, and technical direction of the entire platform.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & System Design

• Map the full architecture of our MS platform, including Orders, Estimates, Proposals, Scheduling, Vendor Management, QC, Notifications, Permissions, and Client/Vendor Portals.
• Identify and remove overlapping, conflicting, or outdated logic across the system.
• Redesign core workflows to ensure simplicity, consistency, and scalability.
• Establish a single “source of truth” for each module and function.
• Create clean, modern architecture patterns that developers can follow.

Technical Leadership

• Serve as the primary decision-maker for all system logic, flows, and backend structure.
• Provide clear, actionable architectural guidelines to development teams.
• Oversee all new feature planning to prevent future conflicts or instability.
• Review technical proposals and validate implementation plans.

Refactoring & Optimization

• Lead the rebuilding of critical backend logic where necessary (status flows, scheduling engine, proposals/estimates pipeline, notifications).
• Ensure the system is ready for AI-based automation in vendor assignment, QC, and scheduling.
• Improve performance, stability, and reliability through clean architecture.

Documentation & Standards

• Create complete documentation for system flows, dependencies, and logic maps.
• Implement architecture review processes for future development.
• Build coding and logic standards to ensure long-term system cleanliness.

Cross-Department Collaboration

• Work closely with operations, vendor management, QC, and client departments to understand business logic.
• Translate business requirements into scalable architectural solutions.
• Collaborate with developers to ensure high-quality implementation.

Required Qualifications

Technical Experience

• 7+ years experience as a Software Architect, Principal Engineer, or Senior Backend Engineer.
• Deep experience with system architecture, backend logic, and flow design.
• Strong understanding of scalable, modular, and maintainable architecture.
• Proven experience refactoring or rescuing complex, high-usage systems.
• Familiarity with:
• Node.js / PHP / Python (any is fine as long as they understand architecture)
• SQL databases
• Microservice patterns
• API design
• Event-driven systems
• Notification systems
• Role & permission frameworks
• Workflow engines

Soft Skills

• Strong leadership and communication skills.
• Ability to simplify complex logic into clear, documented flows.
• Comfortable taking ownership and making architectural decisions.
• Ability to work directly with the CEO and senior team.
