Senior Architect

SimpliGov LLC Baltimore, Maryland

Own cross-cutting technical direction: service boundaries, contracts, data architecture, and platform evolution across our decomposition and replatforming programs Design in the open: architecture decision records, design reviews inside our Plan-and-Review cadence, explicit trade-offs, and written reasoning others can challenge Treat dependent teams as first-class customers: gather their requirements before designing, validate against real consumers before building, and close the loop when things change Raise the floor: coach tech leads through their own designs; success is more people who can architect, not more decisions routed through you Keep designs as simple as the problem allows; we treat unneeded complexity as a defect, not a signal of sophistication Partner with AI Operations and DevOps so architecture is enforced by the delivery system (contracts, validation, gates) rather than by memo Bring architectural judgment to how AI agents design and modify systems, so machine-produced code lands inside human-owned structure 8+ years of engineering experience, including several years driving architecture across multiple teams in SaaS or platform environments A track record of designs that shipped and held up in production; we will ask what broke and what you learned Real experience decomposing a monolith into services in production, with the scars to show for it Fluency with AI-era architecture: agentic systems, LLM integration patterns, and designing for codebases partially produced by agents Experience in regulated environments (FedRAMP, StateRAMP, HIPAA, or similar) is a strong plus Exceptional written and verbal clarity; you make complex systems legible Comprehension before construction: you restate requirements in your own words and confirm them before you design Visible uncertainty: you surface confusion early and loudly; silent guessing is the one behavior we cannot work with Consumer empathy: the constraints of dependent teams are design inputs, not obstacles Simplicity bias: the best design is the one the team can carry without you Comfortable being wrong in public and fast to update What This Role Is NOT For new hires, the E-Verify process is completed in conjunction with the Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification on or before the first day of work.
