ZIZO Technologies is hiring a Product Architect to shape the technical vision of our core serverless platform. In this pivotal role, you will combine deep technical expertise with business-first thinking, ensuring our architecture delivers maximum value for clients and an exceptional user experience. You will work closely with product leadership to set a solid architectural vision for pivotal functions and guide the development of experimental features.

What You'll Do

Own the technical architecture of our core serverless product, built on AWS Lambda.
Collaborate closely with the Head of Product to ensure technical and business roadmaps are aligned.
Guide and mentor Engineering Teams across design, implementation, and delivery.
Establish and evolve architecture standards and best practices, including performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
Review and approve architectural decisions, technical designs, and system integrations.
Evaluate and introduce new technologies or services that improve product scalability, maintainability, or user experience.
Ensure quality, security, and compliance are built into the product from the ground up.
Lead technical discovery, trade-off analysis, and long-term planning.
Serve as a bridge between engineering and product, helping decompose complex product goals into clear architectural and system design choices.

What We're Looking For

8+ years in software engineering with at least 3+ years in an architectural or lead engineer role.
Proven experience with cloud-native architectures, preferably AWS Lambda/Serverless ecosystems.
Strong understanding of event-driven architecture, microservices, and API-first development.
Experience designing scalable, secure, and multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
Ability to influence and guide cross-functional technical teams.
Ability to think in a business-oriented way: simplify what needs to be simple and cheap; solidify only proven features.
Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code (e.g., CDK, CloudFormation), and DevOps best practices.
A dependable and results-oriented person.
Be used to AI tooling for work or personal tasks, eager to explore new tools and workflows to improve efficiency.
Excellent communication and leadership skills, able to explain technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders.
Experience working closely with Product Owners, Designers, and Business Analysts.
