Job Description
Staff Software Architect
As an applied product architect in the Product Architecture team, you will have the opportunity to have a wide-reaching impact on the product, platform, technology and ultimately the business, by enabling goals via architectural vision, consultation and intervention.
Our architects are not the ivory tower, top-down sort. They are product builders and problem-solvers who work with existing engineers, product managers, UX designers and customer representatives to understand what is holding the product back and what new or improved building blocks could enable the future of our platform.
This is an IC role with both strategic and tactical threads running through it, but an overriding emphasis on enabling the delivery of usefulness to clients and the business.

3. Work hand-in-hand with the Product and UX organisations to ensure we're building the right thing at the right time.
