Chief Architect

Key details

• Serve as Legion's senior-most hands-on technical authority for complex architecture, system design, and platform evolution
• Personally dive into code, design documents, production incidents, performance bottlenecks, and implementation tradeoffs to diagnose root causes and guide technical direction
• Lead the hardest technical decisions across AI systems, optimization engines, distributed systems, data architecture, reliability, scalability, security, and platform modernization
• Write prototypes, reference implementations, architecture decision records, technical specifications, and design patterns where needed to unblock teams and establish clear direction
• Make high-consequence technical decisions with incomplete information, balancing correctness, simplicity, speed, scalability, reliability, cost, and long-term maintainability
• Challenge architectural drift, unnecessary complexity, weak abstractions, and short-term decisions that create long-term platform risk
• Partner directly with Staff, Principal, and senior engineering leaders in design reviews, code-level discussions, and implementation planning
• Define and own the long-term architecture for Legion's AI-driven Workforce Management platform across application services, data infrastructure, ML systems, optimization engines, APIs, integration architecture, developer platforms, and enterprise-scale operations
• Establish engineering-wide standards for system design, scalability, performance, reliability, extensibility, observability, security, and maintainability
• Serve as the final architectural authority for major platform initiatives and technical decisions with long-term consequences
• Identify opportunities to reduce complexity, improve system efficiency, accelerate engineering velocity, and unlock new product capabilities
• Proactively surface technical debt, architectural risk, and platform constraints before they compound into customer, product, or engineering velocity issues
• Create pragmatic migration paths from current-state architecture to target-state architecture while maintaining uptime, customer trust, backward compatibility, and delivery speed
• Company mission
• Legion Technologies is building the AI-powered operating system for the hourly workforce
