Build Your Career and Future at Wynne

Job Summary

We are seeking a Principal Software Architect to provide technical leadership across our established Java-based platforms and guide the evolution of our architecture into new markets and AI-enabled delivery models.

This role balances hands-on architectural leadership, strong system design and business-logic mastery, and AI-assisted engineering practices, including prompt-driven development and design acceleration.

You will work closely with Development Manager, Product Manager and QA to ensure our platforms remain robust, scalable, and future-ready—while enabling teams to deliver faster and with higher confidence using modern tools and AI prompting.

Architecture & Technical Leadership

• Act as technical authority for backend architecture across core Java platforms and services
• Own and evolve system architecture, integration patterns, and platform design for both existing products and new market initiatives
• Ensure architectural decisions balance scalability, security, performance, maintainability, and cost
• Provide clear architectural direction through diagrams, ADRs, reference implementations, and standards

AI-Enabled Engineering

• Support and enable the adoption of AI-assisted development practices in collaboration with AI leadership
• Use AI tools effectively for design, analysis, and implementation support
• Work closely with AI leadership to translate AI capabilities into scalable, secure, and maintainable system designs
• Apply sound engineering judgment to determine when AI is appropriate versus deterministic solutions
• Define guardrails and best practices for using AI to accelerate design, coding, and business-logic reasoning
• Partner with engineering managers to upskill teams in effective and responsible AI usage

Business Logic & Domain Mastery

• Develop deep understanding of core business domains and rules embedded in the platform
• Ensure business logic is correct, explicit, testable, and maintainable, avoiding unintended coupling or hidden complexity
• Support teams in modelling complex rules and workflows using clean, well-structured design patterns

Product & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Product Management to assess technical feasibility of new features and markets
• Shape architectural approaches early in discovery
• Translate business strategy into clear technical execution plans
• Support SLT with technology strategy input, options analysis, and risk assessment

Engineering Excellence & Governance

• Define and uphold coding standards, architectural principles, and design guidelines
• Ensure AI usage aligns with existing engineering standards, security requirements, and operational practices
• Review and guide complex designs and high-risk changes
• Support governance around technical debt management, security and compliance expectations, and platform stability and extensibility
