About the Role

At Techdome, software architecture goes beyond design. It involves ownership, technical leadership, and accountability for how systems perform in production.

As a Software Architect, you will design scalable, secure, and reliable systems, drive architectural decisions from concept to production, and set engineering standards for an 80+ member engineering team working across healthcare, fintech, AI, and SaaS.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead end-to-end system architecture, including system design, APIs, data models, security, scalability, observability, and cost optimization. - Own the production performance and reliability of systems serving large user bases. - Design secure solutions involving healthcare data, Protected Health Information (PHI), and payment workflows. - Architect applications using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) and modern cloud infrastructure. - Work with AWS, GCP, or Azure, along with Kubernetes, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), networking, and secrets management. - Drive decisions on microservices, event-driven systems, integrations, and build-versus-buy strategies. - Identify and resolve production bottlenecks across performance, scalability, and availability. - Establish engineering standards, reference architectures, and reusable design patterns. - Participate in coding, architecture discussions, design reviews, and code reviews. - Mentor senior engineers and develop future technical leaders.

Required Qualifications

- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong system design and architecture ownership. - Proven production experience running a system with a minimum of 100,000 users (mandatory). - A strong track record of identifying and solving major production bottlenecks at scale. - Strong hands-on experience with Node.js and React; MERN stack experience preferred. - Experience in cloud architecture using AWS, GCP, or Azure. - Experience in healthcare, payments, fintech, banking, insurance, or other security-critical domains. - Deep understanding of distributed systems, APIs, databases, scalability, and reliability. - Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain and justify technical decisions.

Good to Have

- Experience with HIPAA, PHI, or PCI-DSS compliance. - Familiarity with Stripe, Braintree, tokenization, or payment processing systems. - Experience with microservices, event-driven architecture, and high-availability systems. - Background in SaaS, consulting, or venture-studio environments. - Experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot.

Why Join Techdome?

- Build real products in healthcare, fintech, AI, and SaaS used by customers worldwide. - Own architecture decisions with direct impact on production systems. - Shape the engineering standards of an 80+ member team. - Join a profitable, stable, product-focused organization with minimal bureaucracy.

At Techdome, architects do more than create designs. They build solutions, influence technical decisions, and take ownership of system performance in production.
