About the Role
Design and build platform capabilities for Faro's product teams, focusing on adoption and hands-on prototyping. Own the platform's end-to-end architecture, provide architectural oversight, and guide technical designs across the company.
Responsibilities
- Own System Design: Lead the design of large-scale, cross-team platform capabilities from ideation to release, ensuring business requirements are gathered and met.
- Own Non-Functional Requirements: Ensure that all non-functional requirements, including performance, scalability, reliability, security, observability, and cost are met across your domain.
- Sequence Architecture Into Delivery: Partner with engineering managers and product to break designs into shippable increments.
- Architectural Review: Write, critique, and defend designs, identifying and validating reversible-vs-irreversible decisions.
- Build-vs-Buy Evaluation: Evaluate and make recommendations on build-vs-buy decisions for new or aging features and capabilities.
- Hands-On Innovation: Contribute directly to the architecture and development of high-complexity features.
- Champion Best Practices: Establish and promote engineering best practices, partnering with the Principal Architect to create organizational standards.
- Mentor & Lead: Mentor engineers across the organization, accelerating the product roadmap and fostering a collaborative learning environment.
- Drive Adoption With Internal Customers: Deliver an exceptional experience for engineering teams and business stakeholders who build on your systems.
- Represent Architecture Externally: Present architecture to strategic customers and engage their technical leadership.
Requirements
- Designed systems used by multiple teams and managed long-term consequences.
- Led a migration or deprecation to completion including full retirement.
- Can distinguish reversible from irreversible decisions and calibrate how much process each deserves.
- Driven technical alignment among senior engineers who don't report to you and didn't initially agree with you.
- Partnered with engineering managers to get architectural work onto a roadmap and delivered incrementally.
- Made and defended build-vs-buy recommendations.
- Prioritized and pitched tech debt: what to accumulate, what to hold, what to pay down, and what to retire.
- Owned the security posture of systems designed, and worked with security teams as a partner.
- Made architectural decisions with real cost consequences, both positive and negative, and can explain the outcomes.
- Presented an architecture to a customer's technical leadership and held the room through hard questions.
- Deep expertise in at least one general-purpose application language and one infrastructure-as-code toolchain.
- Strong understanding of cloud-native architecture and cloud operations.
- Experience running containerized workloads.
- Experience designing data models on relational stores, including schema evolution in production.
- Experience designing real-time data or event-driven systems.
- Experience designing integrations across product boundaries including versioned interfaces, compatibility guarantees, and failure isolation.
- Experience designing front-end architecture at scale including component libraries, state management, and design-system and module boundaries.
- A track record of mentoring engineers.
- Excellent written and verbal communication.
- Equally comfortable leading small, short-lived cross-team groups and working independently.
- Comfortable in a fast-moving, growth-minded environment where requirements change.
- Teach what you learn and are comfortable learning from others regardless of seniority.
