Principal Architect

The Principal Architect is the senior-most technical authority and executive-facing owner of the overall solution architecture for the account. This is a client-facing, decision-making role accountable for technical credibility with the client's executive and engineering leadership, and for the integrity of the architecture across every workstream. Delivery on this account uses an agent-orchestrated development model — the Principal Architect is expected to direct AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code) directly for spikes and validation, not only delegate to human engineers.

The final technology stack is not yet finalized (it may or may not end up being Python + React), so this role is intentionally technology-agnostic rather than tied to a specific platform.
