The Product Development team is looking for a highly motivated, hands-on Principal Solution Architect to lead the end-to-end architectural design and technical strategy for our next generation of connected smart home products. You will play a pivotal role in defining scalable, secure, and high-performing solutions that span device, cloud, data, and application layers. In close collaboration with cross-functional engineering, product, and business teams, you’ll shape systems that power millions of IoT devices, real-time analytics, and intuitive user experiences.

Job Duties:

Architect holistic, end-to-end solutions that integrate device, mobile/web applications, APIs, and cloud platforms (primarily Azure). Translate complex business requirements and product concepts into scalable solution designs that meet functional, performance, security, and compliance needs. Define solution-level tradeoffs across technical domains including: Development cost and timeline Hardware (BOM) and cloud infrastructure costs Interoperability and system complexity User experience impact Technical debt and future extensibility Lead the design of resilient and observable systems with recovery strategies for: Connectivity interruptions Message loss or delays Service outages User error and interrupted processes Partner with product managers, technical teams, and enterprise architects to align solutions with long-term platform strategy and standardization efforts.
