Senior Software Architect (M/F)

• Platform Architecture & Roadmap: Own the architecture for one or more core WorkWave platforms and shared services; define technical roadmaps, architectural standards, technical debt mitigation strategies, and cross-portfolio alignment.
• Enterprise Discovery & Solutions: Partner directly with enterprise customers to understand their workflows, lead technical discovery, and design scalable integration and architecture solutions.
• Multi-Domain Technical Breadth: Drive architecture across diverse service domains (scheduling, routing, payments, telematics, ERP, and payroll) leveraging modern tech stacks including C#/.NET (8–10), Python/FastAPI, Node/TypeScript, and modern front-end frameworks.
• Incremental Modernization: Lead legacy extraction programs, safely migrating embedded business logic and stored procedures into modern, event-driven, API-first services without operational downtime.
• Shared Services & Integration: Design re-usable, plug-and-play services capable of integrating seamlessly into PestPac, RealGreen, WinTeam, and TimeGate.
• Cloud & Infrastructure Leadership (AWS): Lead cloud platform evolution on AWS utilizing containerization (EKS/Kubernetes), serverless patterns (Lambda, API Gateway, SNS/SQS, DynamoDB), managed databases (Aurora, PostgreSQL), and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• AI & Agentic Systems: Architect and deploy production-grade AI systems, including multi-agent assistants, tool orchestration, human-in-the-loop workflows, evaluation frameworks, security boundaries, and token cost governance.
• Data Tier Architecture: Design high-performance, multi-tenant database architectures across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL at scale.
• Prototypes & Decision Science: Execute architectural spikes and proof-of-concepts (POCs) to evaluate trade-offs, backing decisions with rigorous empirical data.
• Engineering Excellence & Mentorship: Drive architecture review practices, security-by-design, CI/CD automation, and modern testing standards. Mentor senior and mid-level engineers through pairing, design coaching, and internal tech sessions.
