This is a strategic, leadership-focused role designed for an architect who thrives on guiding high-level design and empowering others. You will own the technical "North Star" for your teams, ensuring that individual implementations align with a cohesive, enterprise-grade architecture.

You will own the technical integrity of the platform and have the autonomy to make critical design decisions that impact its future. Strategic Collaboration: Partner with the Director of Engineering and Product Management to align technical capabilities with business goals, ensuring the platform architecture supports long-term growth and stability.

Architectural Blueprints: Produce high-level designs (HLD), sequence diagrams, and interface definitions that guide your five engineering teams through complex feature development. Governance & Standardization: Define and maintain "Golden Paths" and shared libraries for your teams. You will ensure that as the HRIS product scales, the engineering teams are building in a unified, consistent direction.

Design Review & Mentorship: Lead architectural reviews and act as the final technical sign-off for complex initiatives. You will mentor Lead and Senior Developers, ensuring their work adheres to established enterprise design patterns. AI Strategy & Governance: Establish the standards for integrating AI-assisted tools and LLM capabilities into the SDLC within your domain, evaluating their impact on maintainability, security, and system performance.
