About the Role:

Zenity is looking for a Software Architect to lead the technical evolution of our next-generation AI cybersecurity platform. You'll work across teams to solve the company's most challenging architectural problems while remaining deeply hands-on - building prototypes, validating new technologies, and helping engineering teams deliver production-ready solutions. The role requires both deep engineering expertise and the ability to shape the architecture of large-scale data, cloud, and AI systems that power our platform.

What You’ll Do

Responsibilities:

• Partner with engineering teams to solve complex architectural and technical challenges, leading the design of scalable, secure, and maintainable systems.
• Build and validate proofs of concept (PoCs) to evaluate new architectures, data platforms, AI capabilities, and emerging technologies.
• Drive technical direction across engineering, product, and data science, turning new technologies into production-ready solutions.
• Lead architecture and design reviews, ensuring scalability, reliability, security, and operational excellence.
• Mentor engineers through hands-on collaboration, code reviews, and system design discussions while promoting AI-native engineering practices.

Requirements

Requirements:

• 7+ years in a senior technical leadership role (Principal Architect, Staff Engineer, Lead Engineer, or equivalent) with a strong track record of designing and delivering production systems.
• Deep expertise in large-scale distributed systems, data processing pipelines, and cloud-native architectures.
• Strong background in cybersecurity and secure system design; experience in SaaS or cybersecurity products is a significant advantage.
• Hands-on experience building, deploying, and scaling AI-native applications and agentic workflows in enterprise production environments.
• Proven track record implementing scalable agentic architectures, agentic orchestration frameworks, and evaluation pipelines for production AI systems.
• Experience managing latency, cost, reliability, and security considerations when serving AI/Agentic workloads at scale.
• Familiarity with agentic AI frameworks and modern AI-native engineering, including coding agents and AI-assisted software development.
• Experience designing and building multi-tenant SaaS platforms with strong isolation and scalability characteristics. Familiarity with Bring Your Own Cloud or similar deployment models in enterprise environments.
• Excellent communication and technical leadership skills, with the ability to influence architecture and collaborate effectively across multiple engineering teams.
