Solutions Architect

At Livefront, we help companies design and build world-class digital products that command attention and inspire joy. We've helped household names like Target, Samsung, General Mills, and Optum create experiences that have reached millions of people, and startups like HomeSpotter and Acclaim build entirely new businesses that challenge their industries' status quo.

We're looking for an outstanding Solutions Architect to join our team.

This role is an intentional blend of API design, app architecture, code review, DevOps, release management, technical spikes, and client communication.

Who you are

You're a problem-solver with impeccable intuition. You have a long history of working with software technologies on various platforms, and when you confront something unfamiliar, you figure it out quickly and correctly. You're just as comfortable designing an architecture as you are doing the heavy lifting to implement it. You can skillfully articulate requirements to our internal team, and you can navigate complex technical discussions and decisions with our client partners. You love software craft, have a high standard for your work, and lead by example. You're not limited by software engineering dogma, and your engineering principles are mature, fluid, and influenced by your experience, your peers, and our industry's ever-changing landscape.

What you will be doing

• Architecture Design & Implementation : Lead the design of robust architectures tailored to client needs. Implement these solutions hands-on, ensuring scalability and maintainability.
• API Design & Integration : Design, develop, and integrate APIs, ensuring seamless communication between systems and enhancing overall performance.
• Technical Leadership : Guide and mentor engineering teams, conduct code reviews, and set technical standards. Engage in technical spikes to explore new technologies and methods.
• Client Interaction : Work closely with clients to understand their business goals, present technical solutions, and adjust strategies based on feedback.
• DevOps & Release Management : Design, set up, and maintain CI / CD pipelines. Manage deployment processes, ensuring smooth and reliable releases.
• Problem-Solving & Troubleshooting : Address and resolve technical issues promptly, ensuring minimal disruption to project timelines.
• Adaptability : Engage in diverse projects, from API design to live team support to fulltime DevOps, adapting your skills to meet varied client needs.
