Solutions Architect

About the Role

We are looking for a Solutions Architect for AngelHack Developer Labs, our sister company. You will own technical architecture and design decisions for client delivery projects, from initial requirements through to deployment and support. You will work alongside a Project Manager, who handles delivery timelines and client relationship management. You will own the technical side of the client relationship, including architecture decisions, technical requirements gathering, and hands-on problem-solving throughout the project.

We're looking for someone with solid, proven architecture experience who is ready to own technical decisions independently, but who is still growing into full end-to-end ownership.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Technical Design

• Own technical stack and architecture decisions for assigned client projects
• Design solutions that are scalable, secure, and maintainable, appropriate to each client's context and constraints
• Translate client requirements into technical designs and implementation plans
• Stay hands-on and involved through the full project lifecycle, including implementation support, troubleshooting, and deployment, not just the initial design phase

Client Engagement

• Act as the technical point of contact for clients, working alongside the Project Manager, who leads delivery timelines and the overall client relationship
• Conduct on-site visits to client offices as needed, depending on the project, to gather requirements, clarify technical issues, or troubleshoot problems
• Communicate technical decisions and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Support pre-project technical scoping and feasibility discussions when needed

Delivery Involvement

• Guide the development team on architecture and technical implementation throughout delivery
• Review technical work for alignment with the agreed architecture and design
• Identify and flag technical risks early, working with the Project Manager to manage impact on timelines
• Be comfortable supporting multiple concurrent projects, prioritizing based on urgency and complexity

Requirements

• 5 years of hands-on software development experience, including some experience owning or significantly contributing to architecture/design decisions
• Strong proficiency in Node.js, JavaScript, and TypeScript
• Experience building mobile apps with React Native and/or Flutter
• Solid understanding of software architecture and design principles. Able to make sound architecture decisions with appropriate guidance/review, not necessarily fully independently on the most complex projects
• Hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, etc.)
• Familiarity with CI/CD practices
• Experience working across the full SDLC (design, development, testing, deployment, support)
• Good communication skills. Able to explain technical concepts and trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders
• Strong problem-solving skills and sound technical judgment

Good to Have

• Exposure to Red Hat OpenShift for container deployment
• Web3 experience (blockchain, smart contracts, dApps, crypto wallet integrations)
• Prior experience in a client-facing technical role (consulting, system integration, or professional services)
• Experience with Agile/Scrum project delivery
