About
This role is remote from anywhere in the US and Canada.
NEOGOV is a proud AI-Enabled SaaS leader in the Public Sector & Public Safety space with a mission to serve the people who serve the people. Our clients use our software to streamline everyday processes NEOGOV is a leading AI-enabled SaaS provider serving the public sector and public safety organizations nationwide.
For more than 25 years, we've helped agencies streamline critical workforce and operational processes through an integrated, intelligent platform. From hiring and onboarding to employee growth, retention, compliance, and public safety operations, our solutions support the full employee lifecycle. Guided by our mission to serve the people who serve the people, we combine innovation, customer focus, and purpose-driven technology to help build stronger communities.
This posting is for an existing vacancy.
The Role We are seeking a Software Architect to serve as the primary technical authority for our HRIS product domain. In this role, you will lead the architectural strategy for a group of five engineering teams, acting as the bridge between product vision and technical realization. Working in close partnership with Product Management and the Director of Engineering, you will have significant autonomy to define the standards, patterns, and roadmaps that ensure our HRIS platform remains scalable, secure, and compliant.
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.
What You Will do
  • Domain Ownership: Act as the lead architectural voice for the HRIS domain. 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.

Who You Are
  • Expert communicator with ability to translate technical concepts to business executives
  • Empathetic leader and have a growth mindset with a desire to learn and embrace challenges
  • Highly analytical, with an ability to see both the big picture and the details
  • Innovative and passionate about your work

What You Have
  • Experience: 10+ years of Java development experience, with a proven history of architectural leadership in enterprise-scale SaaS environments.
  • Technical Autonomy: Proven ability to lead the technical direction of a product domain, making high-stakes architectural decisions independently.
  • Architecture Mastery: Deep expertise in Distributed Systems, Microservices, and Event-Driven Design at an enterprise scale.
  • Java Ecosystem: Expert-level knowledge of Spring Boot 3.x and Java 17/21+, with a focus on enterprise-wide patterns and system scalability.
  • Data Strategy: Strong expertise in Oracle RDBMS and PL/SQL. You should be comfortable leading the transition from database-centric logic to modern, service-centric logic.
  • Collaborative Leadership: Exceptional ability to influence and align multiple engineering teams and stakeholders without being "hands-on" in the daily codebase.
  • Strong Plus:
  • Legacy Migration: Proven experience leading the strategic migration of legacy monolithic applications toward modern architectural patterns (e.g., Microservices, Strangler Fig pattern, or Service-Oriented Architecture).
  • Frontend Frameworks: Knowledge of modern frontend frameworks, ideally Angular, to ensure cohesive full-stack architectural alignment.
  • Cloud Architecture: Experience defining AWS infrastructure strategy (ECS, RDS, Lambda) using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
  • Security & Identity: Knowledge of OAuth2/OIDC and multi-tenant isolation patterns, particularly within the context of sensitive HR data.
  • Messaging: Experience architecting high-concurrency environments using RabbitMQ or similar brokers.

What NEOGOV Offers
  • Competitive Wages
  • Comprehensive Benefits package (medical, dental, vision, etc.)
  • Generous PTO to support work-life balance
  • 401K/RRSP Matching
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • Autonomy to grow and find your career path with supportive leadership
