Job Application for Software Architect at EnergyHub

New

The Role

We are seeking a Software Architect who fundamentally understands that software architecture is an economic and business tool, not just an academic exercise. We do not want an "Ivory Tower" architect who dictates policy from afar. Instead, we need a hands-on, pragmatic leader who operates as a "civil servant" to our execution teams, embedding with them to understand their daily friction and validating strategies through shared struggle. You will act as the technical North Star for the organization, driving major technical transitions, shaping our organizational design, and scaling the technical baseline of our entire engineering department.

Key Responsibilities

Pragmatic Architectural Modernization: Lead the strategic extraction of our move into a distributed architecture using Domain-Driven Design and other patterns as you see fit. You will ensure we avoid premature over-engineering, balancing technical purity with immediate business ROI and speed to market.
Sociotechnical & Organizational Design: Apply Conway's Law and actively utilize the "Inverse Conway Maneuver" to ensure our organizational chart and team communication pathways naturally produce loosely coupled, scalable software.
Platform Engineering Strategy: Guide the creation of our internal developer platform, ensuring it is treated as a tier-one product rather than a ticketing desk. You will define the "Thinnest Viable Platform" to radically reduce developer cognitive load while maintaining team autonomy.
Decentralized Leadership & Mentorship: Build scalable frameworks for knowledge transfer and asynchronous decision-making (such as RFCs and Architecture Decision Records) that elevate our engineers without creating bureaucratic bottlenecks. You will actively mentor Staff and Principal engineers, helping them navigate complex technical conflicts using data-driven discovery.
Executive Alignment: Act as the bilingual translation layer between the C-suite and the engineering floor. You will quantify technical debt, translate architectural constraints into financial and operational risks, and rigorously calculate the Total Cost of Ownership for critical "build vs. buy" decisions.
Other duties as assigned.

What We’re Looking For

Experience: 15+ years of software engineering experience, with a proven track record of operating at a Principal or Distinguished level within complex, scaling environments.
Technical Depth: Deep expertise in modern cloud architecture, distributed systems, data consistency patterns, and cloud economics (aka FinOps).
Leadership Without Authority: Demonstrated ability to drive organization-wide alignment, mediate ego-driven technical disputes, and influence multiple stream-aligned teams without relying on positional power.
Platform & Team Topologies Fluency: Deep understanding of modern team structures and platform engineering metrics (e.g., DORA and the SPACE framework) to concretely prove the ROI of technical investments.
Intellectual Humility: A leader who thrives in ambiguity, embraces rapid prototyping to de-risk unknown variables, and measures their personal success entirely by the autonomy and resilience of the teams they support.

Please note that sponsorship of new applicants for employment authorization, or any other immigration-related support, is not available for this position at this time.
