Job Description

We're looking for a Senior Software Architect to lead the technical direction of our video management system (VMS) as we expand AI capabilities across the platform. You'll design how AI integrates into our cloud and on-premise deployments at scaledefining architecture, making trade-offs, and working hands-on with engineering teams to solve hard distributed systems problems.

This is a hybrid strategic and hands-on role. You'll set technical direction and evaluate new technologies while also doing code reviews, proof-of-concepts, and debugging production issues. You'll report directly to the Senior Director of Engineering and work closely with product, security, and engineering leadership across our division.

• Establish observability frameworks (metrics, logs, distributed tracing) to turn telemetry into actionable data

Lead and mentor

• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers across the division

• Drive engineering standards and quality through code reviews and architectural decisions

• Build collaborative relationships with developers and technical leadership

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
