Description
Every technical leader who excels at writing code and architecting products faces a hard choice: embrace more management overhead and corporate nonsense to climb up the ladder or stay close to the code but stuck in the same role. Why must you give up what you do best to advance your career?
At Trilogy, you don’t have to make that choice. We believe the best developers make the best leaders, and we are looking for seasoned architects with hands-on leadership experience to solve our most challenging software engineering problems. Forget about managing people or projects all day. This role is about creating software architecture specifications to build new products or move legacy software to the cloud. Operating under a unique model with detailed product requirements, fast release cycles, and automated management, you will always be close to the codebase and make technical decisions that improve over 100 B2B software products.
If you also dread the long hours spent on meetings and overtime, listen to this: we have implemented a 12-hour shift model where you will work three or four days a week without exceeding 40h per week. This research-backed model improves productivity and job satisfaction - you get to deliver higher-quality work and enjoy mini-vacations every week!
If you are looking to sharpen your technical and leadership skills without falling into the middle-management trap, apply today!

Frequently asked questions
About the role
What you will learn
Work examples
We believe making good software architecture decisions is the equivalent of creating a stable foundation for a structure before building it. It’s critical to ensure quality and is hard to fix later.
How do you make solid software architecture decisions that support the product functionality requested by a Commercial Product Manager, and at the same time are straightforward for the feature team to implement?
Our approach starts with understanding the technologies and requirements requested by the Product Manager. The software architecture design then captures the most important technical decisions (ITDs) for Domain Model, Use Cases, C4 System and Container Diagrams. A high quality architecture design ensures that the scope is complete and the design is implementable.
These are examples of architecture designs our organization has produced:
- Sococo - AWS Chime support
- Cloud Charging and Billing - Diameter Adapter
