Solutions Architect

Location: Remote (Latin America)

Job Type: Full-time, Contract

About Us:
AgilityIO is a software development firm that designs and builds custom applications for startups and Fortune 500 companies. We are a global team of over 400 developers, QA engineers, project managers, and UX/UI designers with offices in New York City and Vietnam.

This is a full-time contractor role based in Latin America.

We’re seeking a client-facing Solutions Architect to define resilient architectures, mentor developers, and collaborate across sales and delivery to ensure solutions are technically sound, scalable, and cost-effective. In addition to leading discovery, estimation, and cross-project technical guidance, this role will sometimes involve working directly with clients while contributing hands-on, balancing strategic architectural oversight with hands-on contribution.

You’ll also play a foundational role in shaping how the Solutions Architect position is defined and scaled within AgilityIO as our organization continues to grow.

Job Responsibilities:

• Lead solution design and architecture for web, mobile, and cloud systems (greenfield and modernization)

• Conduct technical discovery: stakeholder interviews, requirements and constraints gathering, risk analysis, and effort estimation

• Produce architecture artifacts (e.g., C4/UML diagrams, sequence/data flows, ADRs) and collaborate on SOWs, proposals, and technical roadmaps

• Support the sales team on technical calls, RFPs, scoping, and demos, translating business goals into actionable engineering plans

• Mentor and upskill engineers through design/code reviews, pairing, and architectural coaching

• Contribute hands-on to projects as needed—pushing code, debugging complex issues, and unblocking teams

• Assist complex client projects even when not directly assigned, advising on scalability, performance, integrations, or architecture challenges.

• Define reference architectures, coding standards, and CI/CD/IaC patterns; champion reliability, observability, and cost optimization

• Lead evaluations of new technologies and frameworks; build PoCs/spikes to validate technical assumptions

• Ensure non-functional requirements (availability, latency, compliance, security) are met and measurable

• Document and formalize the Solutions Architect role at AgilityIO — creating guidelines, success metrics, and repeatable frameworks for future architects

Qualifications & Experience:

• 7+ years of professional software development and architecture experience, including 2+ years in a lead or client-facing technical role

• Proven experience designing scalable systems on AWS or Azure (serverless, containers/Kubernetes, microservices, event-driven)

• Strong expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js) and modern front-end frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue); proficiency in one additional language (e.g., C#, Python, or similar)

• Solid DevOps/IaC experience (Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation) and familiarity with CI/CD, monitoring, and observability practices

• Comfortable leading discovery, estimating project scope, and collaborating on proposals/SOWs with sales and delivery teams

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, able to bridge technical and business perspectives fluently in English

• Hands-on approach—able to prototype, push code, and guide implementation while maintaining architectural oversight

Preferred Qualifications:

• AWS or Azure certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect Professional)

• Experience with mission-critical, high-availability, or real-time systems

• Familiarity with cost modeling, compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001), and large-scale integrations

• Prior experience mentoring and leading distributed teams across time zones

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses

• Flexible remote work environment

• Professional growth opportunities and mentorship

• Engaging and collaborative team culture with cutting-edge projects
