You'll architect cloud-native solutions on Azure and work AI-native yourself, using tools like Claude Code and Cursor in your own daily work and setting the standard for how our delivery teams do the same. In this role, you will be instrumental in defining architectural visions, collaborating with clients to clarify project requirements, advocating for the value of robust architecture, and fostering collaboration to achieve optimal project outcomes. Here’s how you’ll do it: - Architect Solutions: Define elegant, cloud-native system architecture on Azure that meets complex project requirements, then drive clarity, alignment, and execution of these architectures. - Deliver Results: Provide end-to-end technical leadership and supervision for projects, navigating scope, risks, and 3rd parties to ensure successful delivery within budget and timeline; also lead the delivery of technically-focused initial engagements such as code audits and POC phases. - Oversee Delivery: Provide oversight and direction for a portfolio of client engagements. - Build AI-Native: Use AI coding tools hands-on in your own work, and help delivery teams get reliable, production-quality results from them on real client codebases. We’d Love to Hear From You If - You have 5+ years of experience in solution architecture and technical design, including cloud-native development and architecture on Microsoft Azure. You bring deep knowledge of system design, API development, infrastructure management, and architectural best practices. - You build with AI every day. You're a hands-on practitioner with AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot. You know how to structure context, instructions, and tooling (sometimes called context engineering) so these tools produce reliable results on real codebases, and you can show others how to do the same. - You have 8+ years of leadership experience in technical teams. You define, inspire, and drive the execution of architectural visions across multiple projects. - You've built on Microsoft Fabric. You have hands-on experience designing and delivering production solutions on Microsoft Fabric, including OneLake, lakehouse and warehouse design, Data Factory pipelines, and Power BI semantic models. You can guide clients through moving from legacy Azure data services or on-prem BI into Fabric, and you understand capacity planning, governance, and security in a Fabric environment. - You are a force multiplier. You’re interested in client engagements and all subsequent project discussions. You want to collaborate with cross-functional teams and present a unified and strategic vision for every initiative. - You’re using tomorrow's best practices. You stay informed about the latest technology trends and industry standards. You also understand that the best architectural solution is the one that aligns with business objectives and user needs. - You’re competent to the core. You grasp the foundational principles of system architecture—from scalability to security to performance optimization and beyond. - You are persuasive with clients. Your presentations are compelling, insightful, and impactful. More importantly, you listen actively. It’s how you always know the right questions to ask and the solutions to propose. Required Skills - Technical Proficiency: A deep understanding of full-stack development, programming languages, frameworks, and architecture patterns (e.g., microservices, cloud computing, APIs) is essential. - Architectural Design: Ability to design scalable, reliable, and maintainable architectures that align with business goals and technical requirements. - Delivery Management: Managing projects effectively, including scope, timelines, and resources, is essential for successful solution delivery. - Client Consulting: Understanding client needs, industry dynamics, and business processes is essential for providing tailored solutions that drive value and meet specific client objectives. - Microsoft Azure: Proven experience designing and building cloud-native solutions on Azure. - AI-Native Development: Daily, hands-on use of AI coding tools, including structuring context and instructions to get reliable output on complex codebases. ## What You’ll Love About Us - Stability.

We encourage no more than a 40 hour work week. - Great company culture. We’ve been recognized by Texas Monthly, Clutch, Comparably, and more for the quality of our workplace. Feel free to check out our rating on Glassdoor. - We’re here to enable you. It’s your work and your career. Our management team is here to help you become who you want to be. Not to micromanage you. - Stay Healthy. We offer medical, dental, and vision coverage as well as wellness days. We also provide disability insurance and we even have a wellness program. - Plan for the future. We don’t want you to work here forever. Save for retirement with an IRA and we’ll match up to 3% every year. - We value your ideas. At Praxent, our doors are always open. Need help? Come on in. Have a vision for the future of the company? We’d love to hear it. - Rest and relaxation. Employees enjoy 15 days of PTO, 9 US holidays, 5 wellness days, and a closed office the last week of the year. Employees earn more PTO each year. - You’re more than an employee, you’re a person. Every co-worker you’ll meet is committed to treating you with respect and kindness. You won’t hear stuff like, “It’s just business.” - Family Values. Praxent provides paid parental leave. The US base salary range for this full-time position is $170,000 - $190,000 + benefits.
