Location: Hyderabad / Indore
Experience: 6 - 8+ years
Employment type: Full-time
Job description:
Most architect roles sit a step away from the code — you draw the boxes, write the doc, hand it off, and hope. At Techdome you own the architecture of our healthcare and payment platforms and stay close enough to the code to be accountable for it in production, where real PHI move through the systems you design. You'll set the technical standard and defend it — in PRs, in incident reviews, and in front of clients. If you've earned the right to make the hard calls and want a seat where those calls genuinely matter, this is the place.
About Techdome:
Techdome is a bootstrapped, profitable product venture studio — 80+ engineers across Hyderabad, Indore, Mumbai, Dubai, and the US. We don't just take client work; we co-build products and take equity. Our portfolio includes a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform for GLP-1 clinics (Wizlo), an AI-powered interview platform on an M&A track (JustInterview.ai), an enterprise onboarding product (Sparrow), and payment and billing flows that move real money for SaaS products.
Healthcare and payments are the two domains where architecture is unforgiving — compliance, auditability, data integrity, and uptime all matter. That's exactly why we need an architect who has done this before.
What you'll own:
Platform architecture for our healthcare and payment products: system design, service boundaries, data modeling, API contracts, and the non-functional requirements that decide whether a product survives — security, scalability, observability, and cost.
HIPAA-grade and PCI-aware system design: PHI handling, audit logging, access controls, encryption at rest and in transit, tokenization and segregation for payment data.
The MERN + cloud foundation: MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js as the core, plus the cloud architecture beneath it — containers, orchestration, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, secrets management.
High-stakes technical decisions: build vs. buy, monolith vs. services, sync vs. event-driven, and which third parties to integrate — made with evidence and defended with credibility.
Engineering standards across products: code review standards, reference architectures, reusable patterns, and the guardrails that let a fast-moving studio stay safe.
AI-native architecture: our engineers ship with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor daily. You'll design systems with AI as a first-class component and architect for a team that builds with AI in the loop.
Technical mentorship: grow senior engineers into leads and set the direction others rally behind — through influence and demonstrated judgment, not org-chart authority.
What we're looking for (must-have):
6-8+ years building production software, including a real architecture or principal-engineer chapter where you owned system design end to end.
Deep MERN expertise — you can architect and go hands-on in Node.js and React without a handoff.
Strong cloud architecture skills on at least one major provider (AWS / GCP / Azure) — networking, security, scaling, and cost.
Demonstrated experience designing systems in a regulated or high-stakes domain: healthcare (HIPAA/PHI), payments (PCI-DSS), fintech, or similar.
The judgment to make irreversible decisions and the communication to bring a team along with you.
Accountability for the outcome of your architecture in production — not just the diagram.
Nice to have:
HIPAA / healthcare compliance in production — audit trails, BAA-covered infrastructure, PHI access controls.
Payment systems experience — Stripe, Braintree, PCI-DSS environments, tokenization, reconciliation.
Event-driven architecture, microservices, and high-availability system design.
Experience in a multi-product, consulting, or venture-studio environment where context-switching is the norm.
An AI-native development practice and opinions on how AI changes architecture and delivery.
