Job Description

We are hiring on behalf of our client who is seeking a Senior Technical Architect to join a high-impact Research & Development Innovation unit. This role is a critical team augmentation for a project focused on the development of a Tiered Pricing Mechanism.

The Technical Architect takes full ownership and accountability for the technical decisions of a product, designing solutions—including products, components, features, and libraries—that satisfy both functional and non-functional requirements. This position bridges the gap between engineering and research to bring groundbreaking concepts to life. The role centers on validating technical feasibility, rapidly prototyping solutions, and simulating protocols to test the boundaries of possibility. The successful candidate will design and steer the technical direction of prototypes, transforming innovative product ideas or cutting-edge research into tangible, proof-of-concept models. By working at the intersection of theory and practical engineering, the Technical Architect ensures that innovative concepts are viable solutions ready for the next stage of development.

Key Responsibilities

Software Architecture and Technical Design

Define and document technical and architectural visions for products, components, and libraries.
Ensure recommended software engineering principles are followed across all projects.
Design solutions that satisfy business, functional, and non-functional requirements, distinguishing features from enablers.
Define subsystems and their interfaces while allocating clear responsibilities across the architecture.
Establish critical non-functional requirements and raise awareness of these needs among stakeholders.
Document all architecture and technical decisions in a centralized, accessible location.
Evaluate and select appropriate software, hardware, and integration methods, ensuring products do not rely on unstable or immature external libraries.
Factor the long-term costs of architectural decisions into the overall decision-making process.

Teamwork and Delivery

Support agile software development practices and participate in planning, solution definition, and exploration of alternatives.
Provide technical advice during work prioritization and iteration planning.
Contribute to work breakdown and task allocation to maximize team effectiveness.
Review acceptance criteria for critical developer tasks.
Communicate technical details clearly with scientists, researchers, developers, and business stakeholders.
Summarize proposed technical solutions for management and business decision-makers.
Enable continuous delivery of features through appropriate architectural planning, timeline setting, and milestone definition.

Knowledge and Continuous Learning

Acquire a deep technical understanding of the specific problem and solution spaces.
Maintain updated expertise in computer science and engineering techniques.
Review relevant literature and learn new topics as necessary to solve complex technical problems.
Recognize the limits of personal expertise and seek additional knowledge or external input when required.

Requirements

Education and Experience

Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
General Experience: A minimum of 7 years of professional experience in software development, including significant experience delivering production systems.
Architectural Experience: At least 3 years of experience in a technical architect role, designing solutions and overseeing system architecture.
Leadership: At least 2 years of experience leading software development teams, providing both technical leadership and mentorship.

Technical Skills and Competencies

Methodologies: Practical experience applying Agile software development methodologies in cross-functional teams.
Programming Paradigms: Solid understanding of both functional and object-oriented programming paradigms.
Languages: Hands-on experience with languages such as Haskell or Rust.
Tools: Proficient in version control practices, including experience with Git and common Git workflows.
Collaboration: Proven experience collaborating with scientists, researchers, or formal methods specialists in interdisciplinary environments.
Vision: Ability to define and articulate technical visions and break down solutions into manageable tasks with clear acceptance criteria.

Competitive compensation package commensurate with experience.
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge R&D projects within the Web3 and decentralized finance space.
Remote-first, collaborative work environment.
Professional development opportunities within a highly technical and innovative team.
