AI writes it from your resume. You only have to send it.
Scentbird is scaling fast – across ecommerce, subscriptions, personalization, and a growing portfolio of brands. Our platform powers everything we build, and we're looking for a Staff Platform Architect to shape its evolution while helping drive AI-enabled capabilities across the engineering organization. Our goal is to scale the business through technology and AI without proportional growth in engineering headcount.
This is a senior hands-on technical leadership role reporting to the Director of Engineering. You'll own platform architecture, establish engineering standards, guide cross-team technical decisions, and identify opportunities where AI can improve engineering productivity, operational efficiency, and business outcomes. You'll lead a small platform team while remaining deeply involved in system design, architecture, and implementation.
We are looking for someone who thinks in systems, writes excellent code, and has practical experience applying modern AI technologies to solve real business problems.
Platform Ownership: Own platform architecture and AI enablement across the company — defining service boundaries, integration patterns, shared infrastructure components, and the standards other teams build against.
System Design & Architecture: Lead the design of platform services — APIs, data contracts, async messaging patterns, and foundational components that span the engineering organization.
AI-Native Engineering: Identify, prioritize, and implement AI opportunities that measurably improve engineering productivity, operational efficiency, customer experience, or business outcomes. Design and implement AI-augmented workflows — including agent orchestration pipelines, agent skill/tooling integration, and memory management strategies — as a first-class part of our platform.
Cross-Team Standards: You will serve as the primary architectural authority for platform-level technical decisions and help shape the long-term technical direction of the company.
Team Leadership: Directly manage and mentor the platform team (2 engineers) — setting direction, running reviews, unblocking, and growing their technical capabilities.
Operational Readiness: Ensure the systems you design are production-ready — instrumented, scalable, fault-tolerant, and operable by the teams who inherit them.
Scentbird inspires fragrance lovers to go beyond the ordinary and sample scents that evoke passion, confidence, and the unknown. Our mission is to revolutionize the way we perfume by bringing the ultimate fragrance playground right to your fingertips and offering a digital subscription service that lets members choose from over 1000+ designer perfumes each month.
