Staff Architect

Lead the architecture that saves lives. As a Staff Architect at Lytx, you'll shape the technical vision for a video telematics platform that protects over 1.3 million connected vehicles worldwide.

You'll serve as a key technical authority, driving enterprise-wide architectural strategy across diverse technology stacks (C#/.NET, Java, Python). Define API-first and microservices standards that engineering teams follow. Lead cross-functional initiatives that turn complex challenges into scalable solutions. Architect systems that process millions of real-time events, powering AI-driven insights that keep drivers safer.

This is technical leadership with purpose. You'll mentor architects and engineers, drive AI adoption across the organization, and influence strategic decisions that shape Lytx's technology future. Join a team that values innovation, collaboration, and building technology that matters.

YOU'LL GET TO

• Shape enterprise architecture strategy for systems managing 1.3M+ devices, defining technical roadmaps and owning non-functional requirements at scale
• Champion API-first design and microservices architecture across the organization—setting standards, creating reusable patterns, and leading architecture governance
• Drive innovation with AI/ML technologies, integrating intelligent capabilities into products and promoting AI tools to enhance team productivity
• Lead cross-functional projects across multiple technology stacks (C#/.NET, Java, Python), guiding teams through complex technical challenges
• Influence engineering direction through architecture reviews, technical advisement, and building consensus on critical decisions
• Mentor architects and engineers as a recognized technical authority, elevating organizational capabilities through coaching and knowledge sharing
• Conduct experiments and proofs of concept to evaluate emerging technologies with an evidence-based, bias-for-action approach

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• BS in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent experience (post-graduate work desirable)
• 10+ years building scalable systems in enterprise environments
• 7+ years in architecture roles with demonstrated cross-functional leadership
• AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification required
• Expertise across multiple programming languages and cloud platforms

Technical Authority:

• Mastery of API-first design, RESTful/GraphQL APIs, and microservices architecture at enterprise scale
• Proven experience architecting complex distributed systems, IoT solutions, and cloud-native platforms on AWS
• Advanced knowledge of event-driven architecture, asynchronous messaging, containerization, and infrastructure as code
• Experience integrating AI/ML capabilities and driving adoption of AI-assisted development practices

Leadership & Influence:

• You lead cross-functional projects and build consensus across engineering teams
• You communicate complex technical concepts persuasively to engineers and executive leadership
• You act as advisor and coach, elevating the skills of architects and engineers around you
• You integrate business strategy into architectural decisions and influence organizational direction
• You solve novel problems with innovative approaches and sound judgment

Strategic Thinking:

• You understand competitive differentiation and contribute to long-term technical strategy
• You see how architectural decisions ripple across the organization and use those connections
• You balance innovation with pragmatism, knowing when to experiment and when to standardize
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and have latitude to determine approaches to critical assignments

Team & Growth:

You'll work closely with engineering leadership and architecture peers, serving as a technical authority across multiple teams. This role offers progression into principal-level positions and opportunities to expand your influence across the organization.
