Lead Software Architect, Gt.school (Remote) - $200,000/Year Usd

Crossover is the world's #1 source of full-time remote jobs. Our clients offer top-tier pay for top-tier talent. We're recruiting this role for our client, gt.school. Have you got what it takes?

Do you have a really high bar when it comes to code quality and software architecture? Are you excited about using modern cloud patterns, such as AWS, to dramatically decrease the amount of code in your projects? Do you enjoy leading product development by making and implementing the most complex architectural decisions? If the answer to all the questions is yes, GT School has a unique role for you!

At GT School, we’re building a data platform, CoachBot, that helps students learn on their own without the need for a teacher or a tutor. The platform integrates with learning apps that teach various subjects, extracts data about the student’s time and activity, computes advanced analytics on expected student performance, gives the students clear feedback on whether they are meeting expectations or not, and drives behavior by using different motivational techniques (including cash rewards!). The platform is 100% cloud-native and uses patterns such as AWS Lambda, Step Functions, Glue, AppSync, and QuickSight, so you won’t have to worry about having to maintain old code written in outdated technologies.

In this position, you will be leading the development efforts by personal example, implementing the most complex features, and making the hardest architectural decisions. So, if you're a great technical leader who wants to grow but thinks "graduating" into a typical administrative/managerial or project management-type role sounds dull, we want to hear from you!

What You Will Be Doing

• Making the most complex architectural decisions in the product
• Reviewing feature design proposals from other team members and simplifying them
• Standardizing best practices into playbooks to improve the quality of the whole team
• Reviewing the code of other team members for simplicity and correctness

Lead Software Architect Key Responsibilities

• Own the architecture and quality of the whole product

Basic Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in software architecture
• 3+ years of experience developing using AWS cloud patterns
• 5+ years of experience in software development
