You have options. Let us tell you why we’re different. Our work is changing the world of financial services. Everyday, clients arrive with big ideas for their industry. They’re experts in their field with the vision and resources you need to change everything. All that’s left is the right team to bring that vision to life. If you’re a fast learner and you love working on a wide variety of projects, you’re going to like it here. We help our clients modernize, rather than rebuild, outdated customer-facing software applications. Our clients see a return within weeks instead of months and that’s why they choose us. \nAt Praxent, we let you do your work your way. We’re a team of 200+ located throughout the United States and Central/South America. Our role is to encourage you, support you, and give you the freedom you need to thrive. Whether you’re working at home, in a coffee shop, or heck, even on your travels, we’re here to create an environment that lets you live your best life. On your terms.\nWe trust our people to be their best. It’s a level of autonomy and respect that’s helped us growa diverse and brilliant team of experts. Experts who also happen to be some of the best colleagues you’ve ever worked alongside. \nThis role has been categorized as a Remote position. “Remote” employees do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice which must be identified to the Company.

You'll architect cloud-native solutions on Azure and work AI-native yourself, using tools like Claude Code and Cursor in your own daily work and setting the standard for how our delivery teams do the same. In this role, you will be instrumental in defining architectural visions, collaborating with clients to clarify project requirements, advocating for the value of robust architecture, and fostering collaboration to achieve optimal project outcomes.\nHere’s how you’ll do it:\nArchitect Solutions: Define elegant, cloud-native system architecture on Azure that meets complex project requirements, then drive clarity, alignment, and execution of these architectures.\nDeliver Results: Provide end-to-end technical leadership and supervision for projects, navigating scope, risks, and 3rd parties to ensure successful delivery within budget and timeline; also lead the delivery of technically-focused initial engagements such as code audits and POC phases. \nOversee Delivery: Provide oversight and direction for a portfolio of client engagements. \nBuild AI-Native: Use AI coding tools hands-on in your own work, and help delivery teams get reliable, production-quality results from them on real client codebases.\nWe’d Love to Hear From You If\nYou have 5+ years of experience in solution architecture and technical design, including cloud-native development and architecture on Microsoft Azure. You bring deep knowledge of system design, API development, infrastructure management, and architectural best practices.\n You build with AI every day. You're a hands-on practitioner with AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot. You know how to structure context, instructions, and tooling (sometimes called context engineering) so these tools produce reliable results on real codebases, and you can show others how to do the same.\nYou have 8+ years of leadership experience in technical teams. You define, inspire, and drive the execution of architectural visions across multiple projects.\nYou've built on Microsoft Fabric. You have hands-on experience designing and delivering production solutions on Microsoft Fabric, including OneLake, lakehouse and warehouse design, Data Factory pipelines, and Power BI semantic models. You can guide clients through moving from legacy Azure data services or on-prem BI into Fabric, and you understand capacity planning, governance, and security in a Fabric environment.\nYou are a force multiplier. You’re interested in client engagements and all subsequent project discussions. You want to collaborate with cross-functional teams and present a unified and strategic vision for every initiative.\nYou’re using tomorrow's best practices. You stay informed about the latest technology trends and industry standards. You also understand that the best architectural solution is the one that aligns with business objectives and user needs.\nYou’re competent to the core. You grasp the foundational principles of system architecture-from scalability to security to performance optimization and beyond.\nYou are persuasive with clients. Your presentations are compelling, insightful, and impactful. More importantly, you listen actively. It’s how you always know the right questions to ask and the solutions to propose.\nRequired Skills\n Technical Proficiency: A deep understanding of full-stack development, programming languages, frameworks, and architecture patterns (e.g., microservices, cloud computing, APIs) is essential.\nArchitectural Design: Ability to design scalable, reliable, and maintainable architectures that align with business goals and technical requirements.\nDelivery Management: Managing projects effectively, including scope, timelines, and resources, is essential for successful solution delivery.\nClient Consulting: Understanding client needs, industry dynamics, and business processes is essential for providing tailored solutions that drive value and meet specific client objectives.\nMicrosoft Azure: Proven experience designing and building cloud-native solutions on Azure.\nAI-Native Development: Daily, hands-on use of AI coding tools, including structuring context and instructions to get reliable output on complex codebases.\nWhat You’ll Love About Us\nStability.

Not to micromanage you.\nStay Healthy. We offer medical, dental, and vision coverage as well as wellness days. We also provide disability insurance and we even have a wellness program.\nPlan for the future. We don’t want you to work here forever. Save for retirement with an IRA and we’ll match up to 3% every year.\nWe value your ideas. At Praxent, our doors are always open. Need help? Come on in. Have a vision for the future of the company? We’d love to hear it. \nRest and relaxation. Employees enjoy 15 days of PTO, 9 US holidays, 5 wellness days, and a closed office the last week of the year.
