• Applications Architect

    Robert Half Technology (Los Angeles, CA)


    Description

    Job Title: Applications Architect

     

    Salary: $180,000 - $210,000 + Discretionary Bonus (~10%)

     

    We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on Applications Architect to join our team. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience designing, building, and optimizing high-traffic web applications and possess excellent communication and leadership skills. This role requires close collaboration with Agile Scrum teams (non-supervisory), a proactive approach to tackling challenges, and a willingness to actively contribute to development efforts.

    Architect & Develop:

    + Design, build, and enhance scalable and efficient web applications using ASP.Net MVC.

    + Actively participate in Scrum team development tasks – this role involves contributing directly to coding, not just high-level designs.

    Leadership & Mentorship:

    + Provide guidance and mentorship to a Scrum team (10+ members).

    + Encourage best practices in software design, development, and code reviews.

    Collaboration:

    + Work in close partnership with Product Managers, Business Analysts, QA teams, and other developers.

    + Foster a positive and collaborative team environment.

    Agile Environment:

    + Operate effectively within an Agile Scrum framework, contributing to team success while meeting sprint goals.

    Cloud Expertise:

    + Leverage AWS for cloud-based solutions (experience with Azure is a plus).

    + Ensure application performance, scalability, and availability in cloud-hosted environments.

    Requirements

    Technical Proficiency:

    + Extensive hands-on experience with ASP.Net MVC and high-traffic websites.

    + Solid understanding of best practices in software architecture, performance optimization, and secure coding techniques.

    Communication and Leadership:

    + Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to effectively engage and lead team discussions.

    + A humble, “team-first” attitude—“absolutely no ego.”

    Agile Experience:

    + Proven experience working within an Agile Scrum team environment (10+ team members).

    + Familiarity with user stories, sprint planning, and iterative development cycles.

    Cloud Proficiency:

    + Hands-on expertise with AWS; familiarity with Azure is a bonus but not mandatory.

    Hands-On Role:

    + This is a highly hands-on position. Candidates must be ready to directly work on development tickets and contribute actively to the codebase.

    Ideal Candidate Traits & Differentiators:

    + Works well in dynamic team environments and values mentorship.

    + Shows initiative and demonstrates a problem-solving mindset.

    + Comfortable handling both high-level architecture and practical, hands-on development.

    + Thrives in Agile work environments and prioritizes team collaboration.

     

    This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects in a collaborative environment with a strong focus on personal and professional growth. If you’re a motivated, hands-on architect ready to contribute to meaningful digital solutions, we’d love to hear from you!
