Principal Software Architect

Your Mission as a Principal Software Architect

Your mission as the Principal Software Architect is to direct the creation of the future-state product-line architecture supporting Energage’s suite of HRTech products. You’ll help identify issues with the current architecture and determine how to evolve the current architecture in an incremental manner. You will be given the opportunity to identify the best approach needed to evolve the current architecture to one that positions Energage for the future, so you should be comfortable with leading, dealing with ambiguity, and driving through obstacles.

You’ll collaborate closely with our Product Management, Experience Design, Data Engineering, Data Science, Security, QA, IT, and Business Intelligence teams.

Accountability & Impact:In this role, you’ll...

Lead the development of a cloud-based product-line software architecture that enables the evolution of legacy applications and the creation of new SaaS HRTech products.
Collaborate in the creation of a roadmap for evolving the existing architecture to support the company’s business goals.
Ensure the architecture satisfies both the functional and non-functional requirements.
Effectively influence and communicate the architecture to stakeholders with varying degrees of technical understanding using verbal skills and supported by a set of artifacts that can be used as a living description of the architecture.
Develop architectural solutions that are frugal and as simple as possible.
Be prepared to spend at least 50% of your time hands-on with POCs or teams to ensure the implementation of the recommended architecture doesn’t present any unforeseen challenges.

What You Bring to the Role:

Experience leading the application architecture responsibility for a set of enterprise-class SaaS products.
Experience with the development of a product-line architecture.
Experience working with multiple globally distributed teams, understanding their goals, and helping them understand and implement new architectural decisions.
Extensive experience with C#/.Net (Framework, Core), web-based FE architectures, API Architectures, and Azure.
Expertise with modern patterns and approaches to software architecture.
Experience applying the appropriate lean/agile principles pragmatically.
Experience with legacy modernization patterns and practices.
An aversion to over-architecting and unnecessary complexity.
Capable of working with a variety of stakeholders, multiple teams (on-shore and off-shore), and leading by influence.
Minimum of 15+ years’ experience.

To succeed in this role, you will need to have most, if not all, of the requirements listed above. Given our current situation, we are unable to consider candidates who may have the potential but not the experience.

Nice to have:

Experience in the development of HRTech products.
Experience with AWS.

Remote in the region: This is a fully remote role, but you must be willing to travel to Exton, PA, for occasional on-site meetings (up to once per quarter).
