We are looking for a Senior Architect who will define and drive how AI builds software across our platform — not just writing code with AI assistance, but designing the orchestration layers, agent pipelines, and spec-driven workflows that allow AI to produce production-quality output s is an architecture role where your technical depth in C#/.NET and cloud-native systems meets a hands‑on obsession with AI-first engineering practices.

You will serve as a technical leader and architect across multiple product teams, driving cloud-native modernization of multiple products. We need architects who can own the technical vision for that system and elevate every team’s ability to execute against it.

• Define and own the cloud-native architecture for C# services, APIs, and containerized workloads running on AWS EKS, including service decomposition, data access patterns, and cross-cutting concerns.
• Lead monolith decomposition strategy — identifying bounded contexts, defining service boundaries, and creating incremental extraction plans that let teams carve out services from legacy systems without big-bang rewrites.
• Architect the migration from legacy ASP.NET Web Forms (.aspx) or other legacy UI systems to modern SPA frameworks (Angular or equivalent), defining the incremental migration path, component architecture, state management patterns, and coexistence strategy that lets teams move page by page without a full rewrite.
• Drive OIDC modernization across products — migrating from legacy or inconsistent authentication patterns to standards-based OIDC flows
• Architect event-driven and event-sourced systems, designing domain event contracts, message schemas, and replay/projection patterns that support offline capability, audit trails, and eventual consistency across distributed services.
• Design and implement Graph
  
  QL APIs as a unified query layer across decomposed services, including schema federation, resolver architecture, and performance considerations like query complexity limits and data loader patterns.
• Design and evolve AI orchestration pipelines — multi-agent architectures, sub-agent delegation, spec-to-code-to-test workflows — that serve as the primary mechanism for code production across teams.
• Prepare products for AI integration by designing MCP-ready architectures—exposing product capabilities as well-defined tool interfaces, structured context providers, and machine-consumable APIs that allow AI agents and third-party integrations to interact with our platform programmatically.
• Establish the specification framework that feeds AI-driven development: what a spec must…
