Architect and build full-stack systems spanning modern frontend frameworks (React / TypeScript), distributed backend services (Python, Go, Node.js), cloud-native infrastructure (Azure, AWS, GCP), and API layers (REST, GraphQL, gRPC).
Own end-to-end technical design for platform capabilities including workflow engines, multi-tenant SaaS services, event-driven pipelines, and operator-facing applications.
Identify patentable inventions arising from platform architecture
including novel data flow patterns, system interaction models, and process automation methods
and document them rigorously.
Author invention disclosures, support prior art research, and collaborate with in-house and outside patent counsel through application drafting and prosecution.
Establish and enforce engineering standards: code quality, system observability, security posture, CI/CD practices, and API design conventions across the engineering organization.
Lead cross-functional technical reviews, align with product and data science teams on integration points, and translate business requirements into scalable system designs.
Drive build-vs-buy-vs-partner decisions for platform components; evaluate third-party technologies against long-term IP and architectural strategy.
Deliver systems meeting enterprise SLA requirements: high availability, disaster recovery, role-based access control, audit logging, and regulatory compliance.
Lead the architectural evolution from siloed applications to a decentralized, federated service model
designing unified API gateway and access layers that allow cross-system queries and interoperability without requiring monolithic data consolidation; establish patterns for progressive decomposition of legacy silo systems into composable, independently deployable platform services.
Requirements
8+ years of professional full-stack software engineering with at least 3 years at a equivalent senior IC level.
Proven experience architecting and shipping production-grade distributed platforms in cloud environments (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
Strong proficiency across the stack: modern JavaScript/TypeScript (React or equivalent), Python or Go backends, relational and NoSQL databases, containerization (Kubernetes / Docker).
Demonstrated experience with intellectual property: invention disclosures, prior art analysis, or direct involvement in patent application drafting.
Ability to communicate novel technical concepts precisely in writing
a prerequisite for effective patent documentation.
Strong system design skills: API design, microservices decomposition, event-driven architecture, data modeling, and performance optimization at scale.
Experience owning technical roadmaps and influencing engineering direction without formal authority.
