About the role

We are looking for a Software Architect to assess our platform's architecture and define a target-state design for an FDA-regulated SaaS product.

The mandatory requirements are 8+ years of experience architecting mixed-technology stacks involving PHP, C++, and JavaScript, strong expertise in Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and clean architecture principles, experience designing and scaling SaMD (Software as a Medical Device) solutions, and proven success leading large-scale legacy modernization and refactoring.

Must haves

  • Proven success operating as a Lead Software Architect, Principal Engineer, or similar senior technical leader.
  • 8+ years of experience developing or architecting within mixed-technology stacks involving PHP, C++, and JavaScript.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, specifically SOLID and GRASP design principles and deep understanding of modern architecture patterns.
  • Experience with layered system architectures, specifically Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Anti-Corruption Layer, Hexagonal architecture, or other clean architecture principles.
  • Experience in designing, architecting, and scaling SaMD (Software as a Medical Device) solutions in compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • Proven experience designing APIs, data models, and integration layers in complex, multi-language system architectures.
  • Direct experience identifying and remediating technical debt, designing legacy modernization strategies, and executing large-scale refactoring.
  • Strong background improving CI/CD and software delivery lifecycles while maintaining system security, auditability, and resiliency in private cloud environments.
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to convey complex architectural decisions to stakeholders and effectively mentor remote engineering teams.
  • Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and demonstrate unquestionable character and integrity.
  • Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to haves

  • Experience with DB schema assessment, zero-downtime migrations, query optimization, denormalization strategies, and physical data layout optimization.
  • Prior experience leading architectural changes within smaller development teams.
  • Hands-on experience with modern virtualized deployments and private cloud environments.

What you will do

  • Assess current system architecture, integrations, and data flows to identify technical debt, scalability constraints, and anti-patterns hindering sustainable software development. Audit the legacy monolithic system and clean up existing database schemas.
  • Define a target-state architecture and establish bounded contexts aligned with Domain-Driven Design (DDD), clean architecture principles, and regulatory expectations. Design a flexible, fault-tolerant pipeline to standardize and extract data from multiple external vendor feeds.
  • Design denormalized storage to accelerate read-heavy queries, backed by clear trade-off analysis, balancing data-access performance against data redundancy.
  • Develop and execute a phased architectural roadmap and refactoring strategy that modernizes legacy components while ensuring the company continues to operate smoothly. Maintain strict backward compatibility for active users while removing duplicate data and redundant extraction logic across systems.
  • Establish engineering standards, coding guidelines, and decision-making frameworks to promote consistency, maintainability, and extensibility.
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership and implementation guidance to a small, mixed-technology development team (PHP, C++, JavaScript).
  • Support professional development by improving development workflows, CI/CD pipelines, testing procedures, and release processes.
  • Facilitate knowledge transfer through mentoring, design reviews, and the creation of high-quality architectural documentation to equip the internal team for future maintenance.

Perks

  • Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget
  • Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews
  • Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm
  • Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands
  • Collaborative culture: join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized
  • Well-being & support: access local well-being programs and people-focused support tailored to your location

FAQ

Have any questions?

What is the work format and schedule?

We are a remote-first company, so all our positions are remote. Schedules are flexible, but the main requirement is to have an overlap with your client’s schedule to ensure smooth collaboration. Specific details depend on the project and are discussed during the interview process.

What level of English is required?

We look for Upper-Intermediate (B2) proficiency or higher. Since you will be collaborating with international teams and global clients (including Fortune 500 companies), English is a part of your daily work.

Does AgileEngine provide work equipment?

It depends on your location. We provide equipment in Ukraine, Poland, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, Portugal, Spain, and India. In the USA, equipment is usually provided by the client; otherwise, you will be expected to use your own setup.

What opportunities for professional growth do you offer?

We support continuous growth through personalized development paths tailored to each expert. Also, you can expect:

  • An annual learning and development budget
  • Internal workshops, tech talks, and mentorship programs
  • Opportunities to switch projects or grow into new roles over time

What does a typical team look like, and what tools do you use?

Teams vary by project, but you’ll usually work with a mix of experts across different fields, along with a delivery or project manager who supports collaboration and onboarding.

For day-to-day work, teams commonly use tools like Jira and Google Workspace, along with communication platforms such as Google Chat. Depending on the client, you may also work with Slack, Confluence, Notion, or similar tools.
