Senior Software Architect, LearnWith.AI (Remote) - $200,000/year USD

We're expanding platforms that support thousands of students and teams worldwide:

• TimeBack: An educational platform that drives Alpha School's 2-hour learning model (delivering 99th percentile test outcomes).
• Incept: A content generation platform producing all personalized educational materials for various learning applications deployed at Alpha School.
• Crossover: An AI-driven hiring platform that processes tens of thousands of candidates monthly, supplying talent to schools and organizations around the globe.
  

You'll take ownership of one of these platforms and dedicate the majority of your time to constructing the most challenging components of the codebase with a compact team (3-5 experienced engineers, no junior staff). The architectural choices you make will decide whether other teams can quickly develop new applications, integrate seamlessly, and deliver value to students. Execute well and you create tremendous leverage. Poor decisions generate integration chaos and erode velocity across numerous teams.
You design, build, and maintain what you architect. You define quality standards and technical patterns for your platform. We operate spec-first: you design before implementing, always planning ahead of execution. High autonomy, no committees, no approval boards. A small, focused team where you answer for what you deliver.
What You Will Be Doing

• Technical Leadership: Define strategic architectural choices and set technical patterns for the team's implementation.
• AI Leadership: Champion the integration of emerging AI workflows and develop high-value playbooks.
• Implementation: Construct the intricate, mission-critical portions of the codebase working directly with your team.
• Quality Reviews: Verify that your team adheres to established patterns and upholds quality benchmarks.
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Serving as an architect who doesn't write code
• Spending time trapped in continuous meetings
• Managing personnel (this role focuses on technical leadership, not people management responsibilities)
• Maintaining legacy systems or supporting internal IT infrastructure
  

Basic Requirements
Senior Software Architect key responsibilities

• A minimum of 5 years of professional software development experience delivering software products
• A minimum of 3 years serving as either a lead engineer (conducting code reviews) or architect (driving key technical decisions)
• Background working on platform-level solutions where other teams integrated with your APIs
• Substantial involvement with AI tools, continuously exploring capabilities and expanding boundaries
