Your daily life

As an Architect, you will shape the technical direction of your product area by designing scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions that enable your delivery team to build with confidence.

You'll collaborate closely with Product Management, Design, and the Development Manager from early discovery through delivery, ensuring solutions are technically sound, aligned with business goals, and achievable within the team's capacity. Throughout implementation, you'll support engineers by resolving architectural challenges, validating design decisions, and helping the team navigate complex technical problems.

You will also work closely with other Architects and Principal Developers to ensure your solutions integrate seamlessly with the broader Petal platform. By establishing technical standards, managing architectural debt, mentoring Technical Leads, and continuously improving engineering practices, you'll help build a modern, scalable platform that supports all of Petal's SaaS products.

• Experience working closely with Product Managers, Designers, Development Managers, and Technical Leads to shape technical solutions from discovery through production.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly explain technical concepts, architectural trade-offs, and long-term technology strategy to both technical and business stakeholders.
• Experience establishing engineering standards, architecture governance, security best practices, and technical roadmaps while balancing innovation with operational excellence.
• A collaborative leadership style that mentors engineers, influences through technical expertise, and fosters a culture of continuous learning, engineering excellence, and platform thinking.
