## Description

We are seeking a Software Architect to join the Digital Workers team, which is building a new suite of autonomous agents for identity operations and security. As a hands-on architect, you will write critical code, resolve cross-team decisions, and work with engineers through production rollout.

Responsibilities:

- Define and implement shared contracts for tasks, events, permissions, approvals, evidence, and usage

- Set clear boundaries between model reasoning, agent harnesses, durable workflows, and services that enforce authorization

- Select a harness through representative identity tasks, failure tests, and operational evidence

- Design integrations with OpenAI and Anthropic APIs

- Build reference services for tenant isolation, scoped tool execution, idempotency, long approval waits, and verified results

- Define the transactional and analytics data architecture

- Connect Product, Applied AI, and Platform engineers through clear ownership and practical APIs

Requirements:

- A record of leading architecture and delivery across multiple engineering teams

- Deep knowledge of distributed services, API design, data consistency, cloud security, and production operations

- Experience making systems simpler while improving reliability, security, or delivery speed

- The ability to explain design tradeoffs, guide senior engineers, and remain accountable through implementation

Nice to have:

- Experience with enterprise identity, security products, OAuth, OIDC, SAML, SCIM, or complex customer integrations
