TimelyCare
The Role
TimelyCare is seeking a
Senior Software Architect
to help shape the technical future of our platform. Reporting to the Director of Architecture, you will work closely with engineering teams to design and evolve a cohesive, scalable architecture while championing an outstanding developer experience.
In addition to core architecture responsibilities, this role will play a key part in defining our AI-first development approach—including designing and implementing autonomous agents, crafting robust MCP (Model Context Protocol) layers, and pioneering patterns for AI-native features across our products and internal tooling.
If you enjoy designing systems end-to-end, solving complex technical problems, and making it easier and more joyful for engineers to build both traditional and AI-powered software, we’d love to talk.
What You'll Do
Platform & System Architecture
Collaborate with the Director of Architecture, engineering leaders, and product partners to define and maintain the target architecture and technical roadmap for TimelyCare’s platform.
Design end-to-end solutions across our ecosystem (web, mobile, services, data, and integrations) that are secure, scalable, observable, and resilient.
Work closely with engineering teams to break down complex business problems into well-architected services, APIs, and data models with clear domain boundaries.
Define and promote architectural standards, patterns, and best practices (e.g., API-first development, event-driven systems, microservices, and domain-driven design).
Developer Experience & Engineering Enablement
Champion developer experience by improving local development workflows, build tooling, and CI/CD pipelines.
Help standardize testing strategies, observability practices, and documentation across teams.
Reduce friction and cognitive load for engineers through thoughtful platform, library, and framework decisions.
Build reference implementations and starter templates using our core technologies (TypeScript, Node.js, React/React Native/Next.js, AWS).
AI-First & Agentic Architecture
Partner with product and engineering to identify high-value use cases for AI-powered and agentic experiences in both customer-facing features and internal tools.
Design and implement autonomous agents that can orchestrate workflows, call tools/APIs, and safely take actions within our platform.
Architect and evolve MCP layers that provide consistent, secure, and observable access to internal systems, tools, and data for AI models and agents.
Define AI-first patterns for retrieval, tool orchestration, prompt/interaction design, and safety/guardrails, and package them into reusable building blocks for teams.
Build prototypes and reference implementations that demonstrate AI-native capabilities, then guide teams in hardening and scaling those solutions.
Partner with Security, Compliance, and Data teams to ensure AI and agentic systems are safe, auditable, and aligned with healthcare and privacy requirements.
Leadership & Collaboration
Participate in planning and refinement to ensure architectural runway and technical constraints are understood and accounted for early.
Provide hands-on guidance and mentorship to engineers on system design, performance, scalability, and modern engineering practices.
Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, enabling informed tradeoff decisions.
Performs additional tasks and projects as needed to support the evolving needs of team objectives and company goals.
What You Bring
Required
10+ years of professional software development experience, including significant experience designing and building distributed systems.
3+ years in an architect, principal engineer, or equivalent senior technical leadership role.
Deep expertise in TypeScript and modern JavaScript (ES6+).
Strong experience with Node.js and building backend services and APIs.
Experience with modern frontend frameworks such as React, React Native, and/or Next.js.
Hands-on experience designing and working with both relational and NoSQL data stores.
Proven experience with microservice and API-first architectures, including service-to-service communication, versioning, and governance.
Strong familiarity with AWS and cloud-native architectures (containers, serverless, managed services, etc.).
Demonstrated experience improving developer experience (DX) through better tooling, automation, CI/CD, code quality practices, and documentation.
Solid understanding of observability practices and tools (logging, metrics, tracing) to ensure system reliability and debuggability.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence and align multiple teams without direct authority.
A pragmatic mindset: you know when to design for the long term and when to ship an incremental improvement.
AI & Agent-Specific Experience (Preferred / Strong Plus)
Practical experience with LLMs and AI-driven systems (e.g., retrieval-augmented generation, agents, tool-calling, or workflow orchestration).
Familiarity with MCP or similar tool/adapter abstraction layers, and designing safe, reusable “tools” for AI systems to call.
Experience with agentic frameworks, orchestration platforms, or building custom agent architectures.
Experience implementing safety, guardrails, data-privacy, and observability patterns for AI-enabled features.
Nice to Have
Experience in healthcare, telehealth, or other regulated industries (HIPAA, SOC2, etc.).
Experience with event-driven architectures, messaging/streaming platforms, or CQRS.
Experience working in a B2B2C environment or with large enterprise customers.
Benefits + Perks
Paid Company Holidays + No work on your birthday!
Flexible PTO + Volunteer Time Off (VTO) as an organization to give back to the community
Variable bonus eligibility on a quarterly basis
Company-sponsored Health Insurance (Medical, Dental, Vision) + Pet Insurance
Company-paid group Life Insurance + Company-paid Short Term Disability
Concierge benefit support services
401(k) with employer match
Free access to TimelyCare virtual medical and mental health support
Mission-Driven Purpose with a Supportive Team Culture
The salary range for this opportunity is $140,000 – $155,000 per year, depending on education and experience. This is the base pay. You will be eligible for a discretionary bonus in addition to the base pay, to be discussed during the interview process.
