Architect​/Senior Architect - Software Engineering

Overview

This role requires you to be primarily onsite at our Slalom and/or client offices in the greater Minneapolis, MN market.

At Slalom, we blend personal connection with global scale to transform how organizations redefine possibilities, shape the future, and achieve their goals. Our mission is to maximize the value of the technology and software we partner to create with our clients through efficient, high-quality, and consistent service, incorporating AI tools and outcome-focused strategies across the product lifecycle.

The Software Engineering discipline helps to bring our clients’ vision to life. We use modern tools and techniques including GenAI tools and agent-based assistance to build secure, highly scalable software products that handle our clients' most innovative and strategic work. We follow Agile practices when building software components and applications that utilize modern frameworks and cloud scale to accelerate our clients' business.

Our software engineers are committed to the craft of collaboratively building high-quality and sustainable software products.

You will bring expertise to contribute hands-on and to enable others to deliver high-quality solutions as part of a collaborative product engineering team. You will evaluate multiple approaches to solve problems and act as a velocity multiplier, actively mentoring and coaching other team members. By regularly reviewing and contributing to the refinement of your team's work, you’ll lend creativity to solving software problems using core development tools and techniques.

You will lead a small team through the design, development and transition of the entire software stack—aligning data, API, and UI components to the norms of the rest of the software product. All while experimenting with new technologies and developing skills across the stack and contributing to the positive flow of your team.

• Co-lead discovery and delivery project phases alongside other technologists
• Collaborate with other software development capabilities to iteratively design, develop, validate, and operate software at scale using agile principles
• Lead or contribute to the development of implementation plans: designing the solution, setting patterns and practices and aligning to the product roadmap
• Write high-quality application code using emerging technologies, frameworks, and GenAI tools, typically targeting cloud-based ecosystems
• Provide oversight and guidance for other software engineers
• Verify unit and integration level components using proven validation techniques
• Develop supporting scripts and routines that automate procedures and help maintain components in production environments
• Advance the craft by developing and sharing materials and thought leadership with others

Your primary role is to lead small development teams in delivering validated code using your domain expertise. You'll contribute to velocity while collaborating effectively, providing clear direction, and incorporating team feedback to align with product goals. Your humble expertise will help you understand client needs and apply your knowledge effectively. You show proficiency and curiosity in troubleshooting issues and supporting pipeline or test suite maintenance.

You embrace learning and growth to expand your technical skills across platforms, and take pride in both your work and your team's contributions.

You leverage proficiency in developing full-stack solutions across a range of established and emerging technologies including:

• Front end applications and modern web platforms. Specifically with experience in React, Vue and Typescript.
• APIs and back-end services built using emerging frameworks and architectural patterns. Specifically with Python, NestJS and Rust.
• Hosting, Generative AI, and application services provided by industry leading cloud providers. Specifically with AWS and GCP and familiarity with Terraform, AWS CDK, etc.
• Experience using generative AI tooling in your own SDLC practice including Github Copilot, Cursor and similar tools.
