What sets great architects apart is what happens after: whether the design holds when traffic grows tenfold, whether security survives a real audit, and whether teams can still build on it two years later.\nTechdome designs and runs production-grade platforms in FinTech, Healthcare, AI, SaaS, and more, including our own products JustInterview.ai (AI hiring) and Sparrow (API testing). Our systems handle sensitive patient data and real financial transactions at scale. We’re looking for a hands-on Software Architect to shape how these platforms are built, write code alongside the team, and stay accountable for how they perform in production.\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn the architecture: System design, APIs, data models, security, scalability, observability, and cloud cost.\nBuild security in: Design PHI and payment flows with compliance part of the architecture, not a retrofit.\nDrive cloud-native delivery: MERN platforms on AWS/GCP/Azure with Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC, and secrets management.\nMake the hard calls: Monolith vs. microservices, event-driven design, integrations, build vs. buy. Decide, document, and stand behind it.\nOwn reliability: Uptime, latency, and throughput as usage grows; lead incident response and root-cause analysis.\nSet the standard: Reference architectures, reusable patterns, and practical engineering guidelines.\nStay hands-on: Write code, run design reviews, and review PRs every week.\nThink like the client: Translate business goals and constraints into architecture that fits.\nGrow leaders: Mentor senior engineers and develop future tech leads.\nYour First 90 Days\nDays 1-30: Learn our products, codebases, and infrastructure, and identify the biggest architectural risks and opportunities.\nDays 31-60: Lead a significant design decision from proposal to production and take a visible role in design reviews.\nDays 61-90: Introduce standards or patterns that teams adopt, and become the go-to technical authority on a core platform.\nMust Have\n6+ years in software engineering with clear ownership of architecture decisions\nExperience running a production system with 100,000+ users\nProven track record of solving serious scale and performance bottlenecks\nStrong hands-on Node.js and React (MERN preferred) with TypeScript\nSolid cloud architecture experience on AWS, GCP, or Azure\nBackground in healthcare, fintech, payments, insurance, or another high-security domain\nDeep understanding of distributed systems, API design, databases, and reliability\nAbility to explain and defend technical decisions to technical and non-technical audiences\nNice to Have\nHIPAA/PHI, PCI-DSS, GDPR, or SOC 2 compliance experience\nStripe, Braintree, Adyen, or tokenization experience\nHigh-availability, event-driven, or microservices systems\nConsultancy or product-studio experience across multiple clients\nDaily use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot)\nWhy Techdome\nIndependent and profitable: No investor pressure. We play the long game.\nReal influence: Set engineering standards for an 80+ engineer team.\nFast path to production: Your designs ship quickly and reach real users.\n Global team: Engineers across India, Dubai, and the US.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3249,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Software","Custom Software Development","Angel Networks & Startup Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T18:01:23Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":6,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T21:44:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/techdome-principal-engineer-mern","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/techdome-principal-engineer-mern.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T21:44:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":43371,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4431620},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4431620"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftechdome-principal-engineer-mern"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftechdome-principal-engineer-mern"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftechdome-principal-engineer-mern"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/techdome-principal-engineer-mern\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftechdome-principal-engineer-mern"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4271719}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"techdome.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4271719},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
