About this role
About the Role TripleTen is launching a program for experienced engineers transitioning into system architecture roles. This role is the senior technical presence who hosts live sessions, reviews work, runs architecture review boards, and sets the technical bar for instructors. This is a teaching and review role aimed at experienced engineers moving into architecture, with real-world design critique rather than just pass/fail.
What You'll Do
- Host weekly live sessions across the program focusing on design and decision-making (where to split services, how systems scale, and tradeoffs)
- Run group office hours and 1:1 sessions for students
- Review student projects against rubrics including the architecture dossiers, deployed backends, cloud infra, performance, security
- Provide architectural feedback and explain better paths
- Run mock architecture review boards and executive-panel presentations with structured critique
- Set technical standards for a team of instructors; act as escalation point for design and architecture questions
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years as a senior software/systems architect, platform engineer, or senior backend/infrastructure engineer
- Has designed and shipped systems at scale in a real company
- Depth across architectural spine: system design, API/service architecture, cloud/infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD), and distributed systems
- Able to explain decisions and critique others' architectures in live sessions
- Strong technical communication; comfortable leading a live session and writing clear feedback
- Strong English C1+ — instruction and review are in English for a US-based audience
- Comfortable using AI tools in day-to-day technical work
Compensation & Benefits
- Milestone-based payments tied to deliverables
- Fully remote work with flexible hours
- A digital office — we use modern tools (Notion, Miro, Slack, Figma) to keep collaboration smooth
- Professional trust and autonomy — no micromanaging
- The chance to see real impact: our metric is graduates landing jobs in tech
- Join a diverse, international, and close-knit team excited to work with you
