Solutions Architect

Location: Remote (Latin America) Job Type: Full-time, Contract About Us: AgilityIO is a software development firm that designs and builds custom applications for startups and Fortune 500 companies. We are a global team of over 400 developers, QA engineers, project managers, and UX/UI designers with offices in New York City and Vietnam. This is a full-time contractor role based in Latin America. We’re seeking a client-facing Solutions Architect to define resilient architectures, mentor developers, and collaborate across sales and delivery to ensure solutions are technically sound, scalable, and cost-effective. In addition to leading discovery, estimation, and cross-project technical guidance, this role will sometimes involve working directly with clients while contributing hands-on, balancing strategic architectural oversight with hands-on contribution. You’ll also play a foundational role in shaping how the Solutions Architect position is defined and scaled within AgilityIO as our organization continues to grow. Job Responsibilities: Lead solution design and architecture for web, mobile, and cloud systems (greenfield and modernization) Conduct technical discovery: stakeholder interviews, requirements and constraints gathering, risk analysis, and effort estimation Produce architecture artifacts (e.g., C4/UML diagrams, sequence/data flows, ADRs) and collaborate on SOWs, proposals, and technical roadmaps Support the sales team on technical calls, RFPs, scoping, and demos, translating business goals into actionable engineering plans Mentor and upskill engineers through design/code reviews, pairing, and architectural coaching Contribute hands-on to projects as needed—pushing code, debugging complex issues, and unblocking teams Assist complex client projects even when not directly assigned, advising on scalability, performance, integrations, or architecture challenges. Define reference architectures, coding standards, and CI/CD/IaC patterns; champion reliability, observability, and cost optimization Lead evaluations of new technologies and frameworks; build PoCs/spikes to validate technical assumptions Ensure non-functional requirements (availability, latency, compliance, security) are met and measurable Document and formalize the Solutions Architect role at AgilityIO — creating guidelines, success metrics, and repeatable frameworks for future architects Qualifications & Experience: 7+ years of professional software development and architecture experience, including 2+ years in a lead or client-facing technical role Proven experience designing scalable systems on AWS or Azure (serverless, containers/Kubernetes, microservices, event-driven) Strong expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js) and modern front-end frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue); proficiency in one additional language (e.g., C#, Python, or similar) Solid DevOps/IaC experience (Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation) and familiarity with CI/CD, monitoring, and observability practices Comfortable leading discovery, estimating project scope, and collaborating on proposals/SOWs with sales and delivery teams Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, able to bridge technical and business perspectives fluently in English Hands-on approach—able to prototype, push code, and guide implementation while maintaining architectural oversight Preferred Qualifications: AWS or Azure certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect Professional) Experience with mission-critical, high-availability, or real-time systems Familiarity with cost modeling, compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001), and large-scale integrations Prior experience mentoring and leading distributed teams across time zones What We Offer: Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses Flexible remote work environment Professional growth opportunities and mentorship Engaging and collaborative team culture with cutting-edge projects Ready to Make an Impact?
