About the Role:
Zenity is seeking a Hands-on Architect to design, build, and evolve the core of Zenity’s next-generation AI cybersecurity platform.This is not an ivory-tower role; it is for a builder at heart. You will write code, build functional prototypes, and own critical services from inception to production. This role demands a unique blend of deep, code-level execution with a broad, system-wide architectural vision that spans our entire data, cloud, and AI stack.
Responsibilities:
- Rapidly code and build functional proofs of concept (PoCs) and prototypes to explore and validate new architectures, data platforms, data processing frameworks, and GenAI capabilities.
- Validate technical feasibility, scalability, and business impact through working software, not just diagrams or documents.
- Partner closely with engineering, product and data science teams to translate emerging technologies into production-ready, scalable systems.
- Lead architecture design reviews, proactively identify scalability and performance bottlenecks, and embed security principles into the design process from day one.
- Serve as a technical leader and mentor, elevating the team's skills through pair programming, in-depth code reviews, and deep-dive sessions on system design and software craftsmanship.
Requirements:
- 7+ years in a senior technical leadership role (e.g., Principal Architect, Staff/Lead Engineer). Demonstrated experience leading architecture in fast-moving environments, with a strong track record as a hands-on builder delivering production systems.
- Proven experience architecting and operating large-scale, distributed, and data-intensive systems, with the ability to reason across end-to-end system flows, dependencies, and trade-offs. Experience in SaaS or cybersecurity domains is a strong advantage.
