Web Application Architect 3

About the role

Responsible for complex application design, development, integration, delivery, and support. The individual in this position must be a self-directed professional who will use their expertise to influence teams on the best approach with new and existing technologies and programming languages to achieve business goals.

Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and deliver high-quality code by promoting and designing best practices.
• Solve complex problems in a creative manner in a timely fashion.
• Act as the go-to expert in at least one technical area with strong working knowledge of the broader system architecture.
• Strongly influence the direction on resolving, diagnosing, and monitoring systems and platforms.
• Identify key problems affecting your team and adopt innovative technical solutions to solve them.
• Design and guide feature design and implementation for the entire team, delivering solutions for cross-team initiatives.
• Participate in cross-business technical reviews.
• Design and develop scalable, high-availability, high-performance products.
• Build and maintain features across the Tax Provision platform — from React microfrontend screens to TypeScript serverless Lambdas, Fastify services, and NestJS applications supporting ASC 740 corporate tax provision calculations.
• Use AI coding assistants effectively — writing precise prompts, reviewing AI-generated code critically, and applying outputs productively within a large, multi-repo codebase.
• Write and maintain unit, integration, E2E, and performance tests using Jest, Playwright, and k6.
• Collaborate with architects and product teams to evolve async job patterns (imports, report generation), calculation service APIs, data layer abstractions, and cross-cutting observability (OpenTelemetry, Grafana Faro).
• Develop, deploy, and maintain infrastructure using Terraform and AWS SAM targeting AWS (Lambda, ECS, API Gateway, RDS/PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFront, Secrets Manager, Route 53, WAF).

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
• 5 years of software development experience and/or commensurate skills building commercial applications with modern software engineering practices.
• Experience completing tasks quickly and efficiently at a production level.
• Experience running and taking ownership of large project deliverables both collaboratively and independently.
• Experience reducing the complexity of projects, services, and processes to get more done with less work.
• A track record of being a strong influencer and thought leader in the full software development life cycle of distributed software delivery teams using Agile/Scrum and DevSecOps practices.

Skills

• Expertise with cloud technologies (AWS, Serverless, Event-Driven Architecture, SOA, Microservices, Microfrontend, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and other modern technologies).
• Strong TypeScript/JavaScript (Node 18+) — the primary language across APIs, Lambdas, business logic, and tooling.
• Proficiency with React 18 and modern React patterns (hooks, context, query management).
• NestJS — working with module-based architecture, TypeORM, JWT auth, and Swagger.
• PostgreSQL — schema management, query optimization, stored procedures, TypeORM migrations.
• Microfrontend architecture — experience with single-spa or similar composition patterns.
• MobX / MobX-State-Tree and TanStack React Query for state and server-state management.
• GitLab CI/CD — pipeline authoring, shared templates, environment management, and security scan integration.
• Terraform — writing and maintaining AWS infrastructure modules (CloudFront, S3, ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, VPC, IAM, RDS, WAF, Route 53).
• Jest (unit + integration), Playwright (E2E), k6 (load/performance).
• Hands-on experience with one or more AI coding tools: Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or equivalent.
• Ability to use AI assistants effectively within a large, multi-repo codebase — including context management, prompt engineering, and critically evaluating generated output.
