So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us. THE ROLE
As a Software Systems Architect, you will serve as the technical visionary and bridge between complex global business needs and high-quality technical execution. Based in our Prague R&D, you will define the architectural roadmap for engineering teams across Prague and Santa Clara, transforming requirements from Sales, Marketing, HR, and Customer Service into scalable, AWS-native solutions. Your mission is to elevate our engineering standards by architecting cutting-edge Agentic systems and intelligent orchestration layers. This is a high-impact leadership role where you will drive innovation, mentor a growing organization of 30+ developers, and ensure our internal platforms are resilient, secure, and future-proof. WHAT YOU'LL DO
Architectural Governance & Design: Lead the end-to-end design of complex, distributed systems by creating high-fidelity blueprints that align technical strategy with internal business goals for scalability and maintainability. - Hands-on Technical Leadership: Drive "lead-by-example" execution by building Proof of Concepts (POCs), conducting live technical demonstrations, and authoring the gold-standard design documentation that sets the bar for the entire engineering organization. - Act as the final authority on technical designs, rigorously reviewing architectural proposals to mitigate risks in performance, reliability, and security before they reach production. - Drive the adoption of Agentic services and prediction models, architecting the orchestration layers that enable AI agents to solve intricate business problems for global stakeholders. - Actively coach a community of 30+ developers to improve the collective mastery of design-led development, advanced unit/functional testing practices, and modern coding standards. - Partner closely with the Head of Engineering in Santa Clara to translate high-level global roadmaps into actionable technical strategies, ensuring seamless execution across geographic boundaries. - Standardize the integration of complex data environments, ensuring that our architectural patterns support robust data engineering and AI-driven workflows at scale.
