As a Software and Integration Architect at Smarsh, you will define and execute the software and integration architecture that connects Smarsh’s operational systems and 12+ product platforms
This role blends general software and cloud architecture with integration architecture, requiring strong system design skills across backend services, cloud infrastructure, and user-facing applications
You will serve as the technical leader for custom application development on Smarsh’s custom IT platform, delivering applications for users across the business, not just the backend systems that support them
This includes the systems responsible for provisioning all Smarsh products, tracking and billing more than $120M in annual revenue from customer overages and growing, and enabling the reliable flow of telemetry data across the platform
You will also be the technical leader for all integrations across IT and Operations at Smarsh, owning the end-to-end integration landscape company-wide, excluding only integrations built into Smarsh’s own products
This is a hands-on, high-impact role
Expert-level AWS and software architecture skills are the priority: you will lead the design and build of scalable, cloud-native architectures leveraging AWS services, microservices-based designs, distributed systems, and modern web applications
Integrations are built primarily on AWS and MuleSoft, with Python as our core language, and you should expect to be hands-on-keyboard alongside the team
Central to this role is our AI-SDLC methodology, an AI-native software development lifecycle in which we use a variety of AI models alongside AI coding tools as a core part of how we design, build, test, and ship software
As an architect, you will not just work within this methodology but help define and advance it, setting the standard for how the team builds with AI
We work with Claude as well as ChatGPT, Ollama, and other leading and open-source tools, and we expect you to stay invested in the rapidly evolving AI landscape and bring the best of it into the team’s day-to-day work
You will work closely with all areas of Smarsh’s business to ensure seamless connectivity across systems and platforms, from backend services through customer- and internal-facing user experiences
Operate as a technical leader of the team, working alongside the Sr. Full Stack Developer and Engineering Manager to drive the technical direction of projects from design through delivery
Lead the architecture and development of custom applications on Smarsh’s custom IT platform, serving users across the business
Own the architecture, standards, and delivery for all integrations across IT and Operations, built primarily on AWS and MuleSoft with Python as the core language
Own the systems that support provisioning, billing, telemetry, product usage tracking, and revenue streams across Smarsh’s product ecosystem
Design cloud-native, microservices-based architectures with clear service boundaries, scalable communication patterns, and fault tolerance
Lead hands-on development of backend services and integration components using Python, AWS Lambda, MuleSoft, and other cloud-native and integration technologies
Guide the architecture of modern, user-facing web applications, partnering with the team to deliver polished, performant experiences backed by clean API contracts
Define, advance, and set the standard for our AI-SDLC methodology, using AI coding tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Ollama, and other leading and open-source options as a core part of the development lifecycle, and establishing patterns and guardrails for safe, consistent AI-assisted development
Architect and build AI tooling that extends AI capabilities into the team’s workflows, including Claude plugins and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers
Own the cloud infrastructure lifecycle using infrastructure-as-code, and define CI/CD and release engineering practices with automated testing, deployment safety, and rollback strategies
Lead observability and operational readiness across systems, including metrics, logging, tracing, alerting, and cloud cost awareness
Translate architectural designs into clear Jira epics, stories, and tasks, and guide technical prioritization in collaboration with Engineering leadership within Agile delivery
Design testing strategies for large, distributed systems, including integration, end-to-end, performance, and failure scenario testing
Provide architectural direction and technical mentorship across the team, and establish and maintain software and integration architecture standards, governance, and best practices
