Project Brief
We are looking for a Solutions Architect and Team Lead to serve as the technical backbone of a growing portfolio of AI-first transformation industries. This is not a single-project role — you will be responsible for setting, creating, and leading architecture and delivery across multiple client engagements and internal initiatives. You will work directly with the Founder/CEO, bridging product vision with technical execution across a multidisciplinary team of engineers, data scientists, DevOps, and AI specialists. This role requires a business-oriented understanding of projects and the ability to handle direct client-facing stakeholder management.
Must-Haves
- Leadership — 5–6+ years of proven experience in Team Lead and Solutions Architect roles, with a track record of leading cross-functional teams through the full SDLC
- AI Expertise — 2–3+ years of hands-on experience in AI projects, including LLM ecosystems (OpenAI, Anthropic), orchestrators (LangChain / LangGraph), and RAG architectures
- AWS Mastery — Expert-level AWS across Lambda, S3, API Gateway, ECS/Fargate, SQS, Cognito, and more
- Certifications — Must hold AWS Certifications (Solutions Architect Professional or equivalent)
- Infrastructure & DevOps — Advanced Terraform (modules, remote state, multi-environment) and solid Docker containerization experience, including CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions
- Programming — Strong Python proficiency for pipelines, API development, and data processing
- Data Architecture — Experience with Vector Databases, including index design, metadata schemas, and hybrid search
- Communication — Exceptional English communication, able to navigate executive conversations and technical deep-dives equally well
Nice to Have
- Industry Agnostic Experience — Background in data-driven decision-making within traditional industries such as Real Estate, Healthcare, Legal, or Finance
- Operational Data Flows — Familiarity with data orchestration for complex business models (e.g. property listings, patient records, or legal case management)
- Frameworks & Transport — Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar communication frameworks (FastMCP, HTTP transport) to bridge data and AI
- Database Ecosystems — Knowledge of Snowflake, SQL Server, or PostgreSQL for robust data warehousing and orchestration
- Full-Stack Awareness — Familiarity with Angular or modern frontend frameworks to ensure smooth data coordination across the entire stack
- Legacy Systems Integration — Experience migrating or connecting data from traditional legacy systems to modern cloud environments
What You Will Do
- Architectural Creation — Set and create cloud-native architectures on AWS across multiple projects, ensuring scalability and security from the ground up
- Multi-Project Leadership — Lead teams of engineers (Data Science, Development, Cloud, AI) across various industries such as Healthtech, Media, or AI transformation
- Pre-Sales and Sales Engineering — Partner with the CEO/CTO on technical discovery, effort estimation, and creating solution architecture diagrams for potential clients
- Strategic AI Implementation — Define strategy for agentic workflows, RAG implementations, and MCP-based integrations
- Quality & Mentorship — Conduct code reviews, enforce engineering best practices, and lead technical interviews to benchmark talent as the team scales
Why You'll Want This Role
- Lead across a full portfolio — This isn't one project. You'll be the technical anchor across multiple AI-first engagements, with visibility and influence across the entire engineering org.
- AI at the core of everything — Agentic workflows, RAG, MCP integrations, vector search — you'll be designing systems at the frontier of what's possible with AI today.
- Work directly with the Founder — High-trust, high-ownership role with direct exposure to product strategy, sales engineering, and company-level technical decisions.
- Build the team as you lead it — You'll have a say in who gets hired, how the team is structured, and how engineering culture evolves as the company scales.
Benefits & Compensation
- $6,500-$7,000/month — paid in USD, bi-weekly via Deel
- Fully Remote — work from anywhere during 9am–5pm EST
- Full-time contract with a U.S. company — 6-month initial term, full-time conversion
- ️ Paid PTO — vacation time, personal days, and sick days
- Referral Program — earn a bonus for referring talent that gets hired
