Tradeverifyd is hiring a Lead Platform Architect to own and evolve our front-end architecture, design system, and developer-facing APIs as we scale our trusted AI platform for enterprise supply chain intelligence. You will lead architectural decisions and implementation across the core web application, embedding consistency, usability, and extensibility into every layer of the product.

This is a role for a hands-on architect who thrives at the intersection of user experience, platform design, and API integration—and wants to build the foundation that powers intuitive, explainable, and mission-critical enterprise workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect & Scale the Platform UI: Own the technical design and evolution of our modular, high-performance web application (React/TypeScript) and its integration with back-end services.
• API Ownership: Define and enforce API contracts between front-end, agent/LLM systems, and data layers—ensuring stability, security, and developer usability.
• Design System & UX Consistency: Partner with Product and Design to implement and maintain a reusable design system that drives coherence across the platform and white-labeled deployments.
• Operational Quality: Define patterns for observability, performance monitoring, and graceful degradation across UI and API services.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with AI, backend, and product engineering pods to ensure a unified architecture that supports versioned data, semantic navigation, and agentic workflows.
• Mentorship & Standards: Guide engineers through code and architecture reviews, and instill platform-minded engineering culture.

Ideal Experience

• 8+ years of experience in front-end or full-stack architecture, ideally in enterprise SaaS or developer platform environments.
• At least one B2B SaaS Exit.
• Expert level expertise in React, TypeScript, and design system frameworks (e.g., Tailwind) as well as Python.
• Strong experience building and documenting RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs, including versioning and permission models.
• Background in event-driven systems or AI-integrated front-ends a strong plus.

Comfortable with modern DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines for UI and platform codebases.

Ideal Attributes

• Balances pragmatism with technical rigor—knows where to build scaffolding vs. full systems.
• Strong UX sensibility and passion for building usable, explainable, and consistent interfaces.
• Highly collaborative with cross-functional teams; a natural partner to Product, Design, and Engineering leadership.
• Thrives in a fast-paced, growth stage company with ambitious goals and big customers.
• Proven zeal for products driven around customer value.
