As a Software Architect, you will own the architecture of client solutions while pioneering the next generation of AI-empowered software development. You’ll lead teams in adopting AI-first engineering practices-bringing clarity, structure, and guardrails to how organizations build with generative AI. Who you’ll work with
You’ll join a
tightly knit product team -engineers, product leaders, designers, and data practitioners, who
co-create
modern software with our customers. We move from discovery to delivery together, pairing on code, pressure-testing ideas with real users, and turning learnings into ship-ready increments. You’ll collaborate with customer stakeholders and field teams to bring outside-in insights into the roadmap, and you’ll help
enable clients
on the practices and tools we use so they can sustain value long after launch. Think
craft-driven Builders

Hands-on AI-accelerated development: Daily use of agentic IDEs and advanced tooling (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) beyond basic chat interfaces. Proven track record with GenAI integration: Experience delivering solutions where multiple developers collaborated with generative AI and AI agents using context engineering strategies. Architecture expertise: Deep knowledge of APIs, microservices, eventing, reliability, and security. Programming skills: Proficiency in languages like TypeScript/Node, Python, or Java; comfort with React/Next and modern frameworks. Cloud & DevOps: Strong background with AWS/Azure/GCP, Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC, and production observability. Leadership & communication: Ability to guide teams, mentor engineers, and articulate value to both technical and business audiences. Bonus Skills
AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex), vector databases, or model routing experience. MLOps, AI governance, or safety practices. Contributions to open source or thought leadership in AI-accelerated engineering. Hybrid/In office: We are hybrid but there are expectations that if your team leader requires you onsite that you are able to meet those expectations/requirements Slalom is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices.
