Remote Technical Architect jobs

6 open positions in the United States, newest first.

Technical architects own the technical design of a specific system or implementation project. On services and customer-facing teams, where this title is common, they decide how a platform will be configured, extended and integrated for a client and set the standards the delivery team builds to. Where a solutions architect shapes the proposal, the technical architect answers for the build.

About the Technical Architect role

What the work looks like

  • Write the technical design for an implementation: data model, integrations, security model and deployment approach.
  • Review the delivery team's code and configuration against platform limits and established good practice.
  • Decide when standard platform features are enough and when custom development is justified.
  • Lead data migration and integration planning together with the client's own IT architects.
  • Diagnose performance and scalability problems on live implementations and direct the fix.

What employers ask for

  • Deep expertise in one platform or stack
  • Integration patterns, APIs and middleware
  • Data modeling and migration design
  • Platform architect certifications where they exist
  • Code review and development standards
  • Client-facing technical leadership

Doing this job remotely

Design documents, reviews and client sessions run well over video, and delivery teams in professional services are often spread across locations and time zones. Client projects set the calendar, and kickoffs, design workshops and go-lives may call for travel or off-hours work. Access to client systems usually comes with security and device requirements.

Where it comes from and where it leads

Technical architects are typically senior developers or technical consultants who have led several implementations on a platform. The role leads to principal or enterprise architect, practice or delivery leadership in a consultancy, or a chief technology role at a smaller firm.
