Architecture & Design Leadership
- Define and lead the overall solution architecture, component boundaries, APIs, data flows, and cloud/service integrations.
- Architect microservices-based, API-first backends for both platforms.
- Design for multi-tenancy, RBAC, internationalization, and privacy-by-design.
- Implement collaboration frameworks (e.g., CRDT/OT), version control, and rollback systems.
- Lead architecture for LLM/AI agent integration: inference pipelines, caching, prompt orchestration.
- Set technical standards for cloud infrastructure, containerization (Docker, K8s), and ML ops tools (MLflow, Airflow, etc.).
Technical Oversight & Execution
- Provide mentorship and code/architecture reviews across backend, frontend, DevOps, and AI teams.
- Oversee integration of AI/ML pipelines into product features.
- Drive decisions on data lifecycle: versioning, lineage, cataloging, and secure flows.
- Ensure effective API gateway design and service discoverability.
- Define the roadmap for third-party integrations (Zapier, Figma, payments, cloud).
Performance, Scalability & Security
- Architect for scale: sharding, caching, horizontal scaling, and efficient API performance.
- Ensure high availability, disaster recovery, and graceful failover mechanisms.
- Implement compliance frameworks (SOC2, GDPR, ISO), secure tokenization, audit logging.
- Oversee authentication/authorization: OAuth2, SAML, MFA, RBAC.
Cross-Platform Integration & Product Synergy
- Create a shared foundation across platformsuser management, services, and data models.
- Enable plugin architecture and future extensibility.
- Collaborate with Product, UX, and research teams (AI/ML, NLP, HCI) to align tech with product goals.
Delivery, Documentation & Continuous Improvement
- Run whiteboarding sessions, design reviews, and architecture alignment meetings.
- Maintain architecture documents, diagrams, and decision logs.
- Track system KPIs: uptime, latency, inference time, error rates.
- Proactively identify and resolve architectural risks or tech debt.
- Foster a culture of innovation, quality, security, and agility.
