Job Description The Product Development team is seeking a highly motivated, hands-on Solutions Architect to serve as a senior individual contributor on our architecture team. You will lead the end-to-end architectural design and technical strategy for our next generation of connected smart home products, facilitating architecture between IoT devices and cloud platforms that serve millions of users globally.

• Architect holistic, end-to-end solutions that integrate IoT devices, mobile/web applications, APIs, and cloud platforms (primarily Azure).
• Translate complex business requirements and product concepts into scalable solution designs that meet functional, performance, security, compliance, and other non-functional requirements (NFRs).
• Define solution-level tradeoffs across our six core architecture pillars:
  Security, Performance, Cost, Reliability, Operations, and Developer/User Usability.
• Drive standardization of architectural development practices across the organization while de-risking future system capabilities through hands-on development of POCs and frameworks.
• Lead design of resilient and observable systems with recovery strategies for connectivity interruptions, service outages, and system failures.
• Partner with product managers, technical teams, and enterprise architects to align solutions with long-term platform strategy and standardization efforts.
• Guide cross-functional teams on architectural tradeoffs and document key architectural decisions within the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) methodology.
• Support cross-team design reviews, architectural governance, and best practice enforcement across multiple programs and portfolios.
• Collaborate with cybersecurity and privacy teams to ensure secure-by-design and privacy-compliant architectures.
• Maintain clear and up-to-date documentation of architectural decisions, C4 diagrams, and interface specifications.

• 8+ years of experience in software architecture and development, including formal architecture role experience beyond individual programs, with hands-on development background.
• Experience designing cloud-native, distributed systems, with proven track record on large-scale systems serving millions of users.
• Experience working with IoT protocols, data pipelines, API integration patterns, and connected device ecosystems with real-time data processing experience.
• Familiarity with secure design principles and compliance standards (Ex. GDPR, SOC-2, ISO 27001) and privacy-by-design approaches.
• Ability to communicate and educate architectural principals and development best practices to both engineering teams and leadership stakeholders.

• Familiarity with TOGAF or similar enterprise architecture frameworks. Experience working within formal architectural governance structures such as Architecture Review Boards.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills with ability to document architectural decisions using C4 diagrams and architectural decision records.
• Experience working within Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) methodology across multiple teams and products.
• Experience with platform convergence, reusable architecture components, and modular system design. Knowledge of mobile/web application architecture frameworks including React and native applications.
• Experience in smart home, connected device, or consumer electronics domains. Understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities in connected home ecosystems.
• Background in embedded systems or firmware development. Understanding of the full stack from device firmware through cloud services.
• Experience leveraging AI and machine learning capabilities in product development and system architecture. Understanding of how AI/ML can be integrated into IoT and connected device solutions.
• Ability to translate complex business requirements into well-structured, technically feasible, and scalable solutions.
