Staff Architect

We’re looking for a Staff Architect to lead architecture and technical delivery for a major domain within 6sense’s Revenue Intelligence platform (e.g., real-time signals ingestion & processing, ML inference/serving, multi-tenant data isolation, or GTM integrations & activation)

This is a senior individual contributor role focused on high-leverage system design + execution leadership: driving architecture for complex initiatives, partnering closely with engineering and product leaders, and ensuring solutions are scalable, resilient, secure, and operable.

You will be hands-on where it matters—through reference implementations, prototypes, and deep technical guidance that helps teams ship

Domain Architecture Ownership

Own the architecture for a core domain of the platform, ensuring it meets scalability, reliability, security, and performance requirements

Drive end-to-end design for cross-service initiatives: clarify requirements, propose options, lead tradeoffs, and align stakeholders

Produce high-quality design artifacts (HLDs, LLDs, data flow diagrams, API contracts) and lead design reviews

Delivery Enablement (Hands-on Leadership)

Provide hands-on technical leadership through reference implementations, prototypes/POCs, and critical-path contributions when needed

Partner with engineering teams to translate architecture into executable plans (milestones, risks, dependencies, rollout strategy)

Help teams build “operable” systems: instrumentation, alerting, runbooks, dashboards, and failure-mode thinking

Data & Signal Processing (if domain-aligned)

Lead architecture for ingestion/enrichment pipelines handling large-scale behavioral events and third-party data

Drive improvements to data quality, lineage, observability, and freshness SLAs

AI/ML Serving (if domain-aligned)

Guide architecture for feature pipelines and inference serving (batch and online), model monitoring, experimentation, and safe rollouts

Partner with data science and ML engineering to productionize reliable, scalable ML systems

Multi-Tenant & Platform Foundations (if domain-aligned)

Drive patterns for tenant isolation, tenant-aware configuration, partitioning strategy, and scalable onboarding

Identify and mitigate risks around compliance, data integrity, and access control

Integration & Activation

Lead architecture for integrations with CRM/MAP/GTM tools (Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, Outreach, etc.)

Establish patterns for reliable data activation (idempotency, retries, backfills, versioning, and extensibility)

Engineering Excellence & Mentorship

Raise the bar through design reviews, technical mentorship, and knowledge-sharing

Contribute to architecture standards and reusable patterns; participate in architecture forums/councils

Identify architectural risks early and drive mitigation plans

What Success Looks Like

A well-defined domain architecture that enables teams to ship confidently and operate reliably in production

Reduced latency/freshness gaps, improved reliability/SLOs, and improved cost-to-serve within your domain

Faster onboarding of new data sources/integrations or faster rollout of new AI-driven capabilities (depending on domain)

Strong cross-team alignment, fewer architectural surprises, and smoother delivery of major initiatives
