Senior Software Architect

We hire for potential as much as experience. If this role excites you but you don’t check every box, we still want to hear from you. At Prophix, people who ask good questions, adapt quickly, and bring a fresh perspective often make the biggest impact.

Strong proficiency in database management and optimization, with demonstrated experience leading migrations from legacy systems to modern, cloud-based databases.

Working knowledge of backend technologies (e.g., .NET) and front-end technologies (e.g., Angular) deep enough to direct, evaluate, and provide meaningful feedback on AI-generated code.

Proficiency with AI coding assistants and agentic development tools such as Claude Code, with demonstrated ability to guide development from concept through PoC to production.

Proficiency in both Windows and Linux environments.

Comprehensive knowledge of cybersecurity principles as applied to cloud-native and distributed systems.

Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to audiences of varying experience levels and to translate architectural decisions into accessible documentation.

Prior leadership experience that includes team management, code review processes, and technical mentorship of junior and intermediate developers.

90 days: You’re working independently, owning deliverables end to end, and building relationships across functions and regions.

Accessibility & AI Transparency

Prophix promotes an accessible hiring process. If you need accommodation at any stage, we’ll work with you. Some interviews may be recorded so our hiring team can review and assess responses fairly and consistently. As part of our commitment to Responsible AI, we use a small number of AI-supported tools to help with tasks like resume review, shortlisting, or creating interview summaries. AI is never used as the sole basis for hiring decisions, and your personal data is never used to train AI models. If you'd prefer not to take part in any AI-assisted step, just let us know and we’ll be happy to accommodate.
