Overview
We are seeking Platform Architects to establish the foundational systems on which other teams depend. In this role, you will focus on platform-level products where your architectural patterns, API design choices, and technical documentation determine how multiple development teams operate.
Potential Products Include
* TimeBack: Educational platform supporting Alpha School's 2-hour learning model (99th percentile test results)
* Incept: Content generation platform producing personalized educational content for various learning applications
* Crossover: AI-powered hiring platform handling tens of thousands of applicants monthly
This role emphasizes design: 50% producing specs, API contracts, and technical decisions; 30% building complex platform features; 20% guiding and reviewing others. You hold technical authority over architectural choices. Once aligned with the team, your specifications become binding.
Small team of capable peers, substantial ownership, zero bureaucracy. You design it, you implement it, you own it.
What You Will Be Doing
* Producing specifications prior to implementation
* Crafting APIs that support backward compatibility and future extensibility
* Recording Important Technical Decisions (ITDs) with supporting rationale
* Implementing complex platform capabilities
* Conducting PR reviews to ensure architectural alignment
What You Won't Be Doing
* Extensive team leadership or personnel management
* Development of straightforward app-level products
* Attending endless meetings
* Pure architectural work without hands-on implementation
Basic Requirements
* Minimum 5 years of professional software development experience
* At least 2 years designing systems where other teams relied on your APIs or architectural decisions
* Demonstrated history of authoring technical specs or technical decisions implemented by others
* Experience integrating AI tools into development workflow
