At BuildOps, we’re building the foundation for how data flows, scales, and empowers every decision we make. We’re looking for a hands-on Software Architect to lead the evolution of our data architecture and the systems that support data onboarding, integration, and API development. You’ll help us unlock insights, accelerate engineering velocity, and build scalable infrastructure that supports everything from customer onboarding to internal tools.
This isn’t a “keep the lights on” kind of role. You’ll design and implement end-to-end architecture — from backend services to data ingestion to cloud infrastructure — while working closely with product, engineering, and operations to ensure our systems are robust, maintainable, and scalable.
- Design and evolve our data onboarding tools and API integrations (Flatfile, GraphQL, REST) to ensure seamless, high-quality data ingestion from external systems and customer sources
- Architect and develop scalable systems with hands-on expertise in GraphQL, Python, Node.js, MySQL, and AWS, bridging high-level system design with production-ready implementation
- Own the core architecture of our analytics data platform across Snowflake, DBT, Airbyte, and AWS, ensuring performance and scalability
- Collaborate with product and engineering to define data models and backend services that power operational workflows and analytics
- Build systems and tools to support test data generation, data cloning, and mock environments for QA and demo purposes
- Establish and enforce best practices for data governance, access, and platform security
- Continuously assess and improve tools, infrastructure, and architecture in support of development speed, quality, and observability
- 10+ years of experience in software architecture or backend engineering, ideally in SaaS environments
- 5+ years designing and building scalable backend systems and APIs (GraphQL, REST, etc.) in production environments
- Strong proficiency in Python, Node.js, MySQL, and AWS-based cloud infrastructure
- Experience working with modern data stacks (Snowflake, DBT, Airbyte) and building systems to ingest and transform structured data
- Ability to own both system design and implementation — you’re as comfortable in whiteboard discussions as you are shipping clean code
- Strong understanding of version control, CI/CD, testing, and monitoring best practices
- Experience building internal tools, platforms, or infrastructure that accelerate developer productivity
- Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across product, engineering, and operations teams
- A pragmatic mindset focused on scalability, simplicity, and long-term maintainability
- Ability to work a hybrid schedule - Monday/Friday WFH, Tuesday - Thursday, in office
- Negotiable base salary + annual bonus
- Generous equity grant, become an owner in our company!
- A comprehensive benefits package
- Flexible PTO and hybrid work schedules
- Work from from stipend
- Hubs in Los Angeles, Toronto, and Raleigh with hybrid work schedules and daily lunch stipends for in-office days
- Company events like BBQs and team-building activities, both in-person and virtual
- Fast-paced, collaborative, and dynamic work environment
- Opportunities for growth and career advancement
- Chance to work with cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions
- The chance to get in on the ground floor and build something truly groundbreaking for ourselves and our amazing customers
