Lead Solutions Architect

About us

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

The Lead Solutions Architect works with customers and internal engineering to design systems that meet business requirements and actually get built. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short.
