WHAT YOU WILL DO

As a Senior Architect at Credera, you play a pivotal role in helping clients refine their technology vision and supporting the architects who execute it. You partner with Principal Architects on larger engagements to shape and deliver the solution, and you carry the architecture end to end on smaller engagements where you own the work. You recommend the most suitable technology approach, team structure, and skill mix to effectively capture and synthesize client requirements. You mentor and develop team members, fostering their growth and ensuring high performance.

Your responsibilities include supporting practice and company development through leading research and development initiatives, peer training, and creating reusable software development accelerators. You also partner with practice leadership on business development. Your work is outcome-focused: you inform, refine, and execute on the client's vision.

You ensure the quality and efficiency of technology implementation projects by applying Credera's best practices and industry standards. Leading one or more teams of skilled technologists, you provide the leadership, mentoring, and development needed to drive success.

On certain projects, you lead the design and build of agentic AI systems, with proper evals, guardrails, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over enterprise knowledge using MCP, built on cloud-native agent platforms such as AgentCore, Bedrock, Strands, and Vertex. You tackle data challenges in service of business value, whether through traditional analytics or by preparing enterprise data to be retrievable and trustworthy for AI systems.

As part of our team, you'll use AI to enhance your day-to-day development and contribute to client solutions on the leading edge of what AI in production can actually do.

• AI-Assisted Engineering: You'll have access to industry-leading AI coding assistants to boost productivity and code quality. We adopt the tools that fit the project and align with each client's ecosystem.
• Accelerated Design & Strategy: You can use OmniAI, our proprietary multi-LLM platform, to accelerate solution design, architecture, and estimation in a secure environment.
• Advanced AI Engagements: For clients seeking a competitive edge, you may lead the build of agentic systems with proper evals and guardrails, RAG over enterprise knowledge using MCP, and production agent platforms built on services such as AgentCore, Bedrock, Strands, and Vertex.
• Continuous Learning: We invest in keeping our engineers ahead of the curve through internal communities, peer learning, and dedicated time to explore emerging tools and patterns.
