Technology Architect

About Vast 

Vast is building the back office of the future. We provide technology-driven shared services, logistics coordination, and financial infrastructure to clients across the U.S. and Puerto Rico — from gaming operators to hospitality venues to small businesses. Our platform (“Vast”) is more than software; it’s a complete ecosystem that lets our clients outsource everything they don’t want to handle in-house. 

  

Your Mission 

We’re looking for a Technology Architect to lead the design and evolution of our core technology stack. This is a strategic, hands-on role for a senior engineer who can zoom out to see the system as a whole—while also diving deep into code, patterns, and performance. You’ll guide architecture decisions that directly shape the future of our platform. 

  

What You’ll Do 

• System Architecture & Design: Define and evolve our technical architecture across the stack—frontend, backend, APIs, data, and cloud infrastructure. 

• Technical Leadership: Set coding standards, architectural patterns, and best practices for engineering teams. 

• Scalability & Performance: Ensure our systems are built to handle growth efficiently and reliably. 

• Hands-On Development: Lead by example with high-quality code contributions across the stack. 

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, DevOps, Security, and Design to align on technical vision and deliver seamless experiences. 

• Code Reviews & Mentorship: Uplevel the engineering team through mentorship, knowledge sharing, and thoughtful reviews. 

• Technology Evaluation: Research and recommend new tools, frameworks, and practices to stay ahead of the curve. 

  

What You’ll Bring 

• 8+ years of experience in full stack development, with 2+ years in an architecture or principal engineering role. 

• Deep experience in both front-end and back-end frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, PHP, etc.). 

• Strong knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS, Forge, or Azure) and DevOps best practices. 

• Proven track record designing scalable, secure, and maintainable systems. 

• Ability to balance hands-on engineering with high-level architectural strategy. 

• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset. 

• Must be based in Puerto Rico or willing to relocate 

  

Why Join Vast? 

• Competitive salary + performance bonuses 

• Work with a fast-growing, tech-forward company 

• Direct impact on go-to-market success and company growth 

• Be part of a mission-driven team investing in Puerto Rico’s future
