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. Working primarily in a "Sprint 0" mode, you'll stay ahead of development by defining architecture, documenting technical decisions, and preparing the technical foundation for upcoming work.
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.
