At Raiven, a Software Architect will help lead the development, design, implementation, and support of complex scalable systems. A successful Software Architect must have a strong desire to leverage their technical and design skills, to understand business requirements, develop a technical solution strategy, and effectively present solutions that address our business requirements and provide business value. You will be responsible for evaluating business needs and requirements through strategic discovery, utilizing technical thought leadership, discussing industry best practices, and presenting our solution options to product and business leadership based on specific business requirements, as well as recommending and proposing solutions to our internal partners with a goal to become a trusted advisor by highlighting how our products and solutions enable our digital business strategies.

While working with support teams you will help diagnose issues and provide solutions that are right sized for the urgency and severity of the situation.

This is a full-time remote opportunity.

Raiven, headquartered in Irvine, CA, has developed a cloud-based platform that helps companies manage their independent contractors and gig labor as well as provides these companies and their contractors with deeply discounted prices on frequently purchased products through our procurement software. Our contractor management software is being used by Qmerit, the largest installer of home EV chargers in the U.S. to “uberize” the connection between EV buyers and certified EV charger installers throughout North America.

Our procurement technology helps companies make the best and quickest buying decisions by providing a purchasing program and technology that streamlines the shopping and buying process. First, we aggregated the purchases of building owners and contractors to use this buying power to obtain pre-negotiated discounts from industry-leading suppliers, saving our clients 7%-25% on parts, materials, and business essentials. Second, we provide a digital marketplace where clients can quickly and easily make all their purchases from our suppliers.

Third, our Raiven browser extension is a revolutionary new technology that is like Honey for B2B. While employees are shopping online, when it finds an exact match or similar product at a better price, it will alert the buyer on the page they are viewing.
