[Hiring] Solutions Architect and Technical Team Lead @OneSeven Tech

Role Description

We are looking for a Solutions Architect and Team Lead to serve as the technical backbone of a new Model Context Protocol (MCP) project for one of our clients in the marketing and communications industry. This is the first and most critical hire for this project — you will own architecture decisions, lead the technical team, and act as the main technical voice with the client. This role requires staying hands-on: you'll be writing code and reviewing PRs yourself, not just directing others.

Qualifications

• Leadership — 5–6+ years of proven experience in Team Lead and Solutions Architect roles, with a track record of leading cross-functional teams through the full SDLC, while remaining hands-on with code and architecture yourself.
• AI Expertise — 2–3+ years of hands-on experience in AI projects, including LLM ecosystems (OpenAI, Anthropic), orchestrators (LangChain / LangGraph), and RAG architectures.
• MCP Experience — Direct hands-on experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or building agent-to-tool integration layers.
• AWS Mastery — Expert-level AWS across Lambda, S3, API Gateway, ECS/Fargate, SQS, Cognito, and more.
• Certifications — Must hold AWS Certifications (Solutions Architect Professional or equivalent).
• Infrastructure & DevOps — Advanced Terraform (modules, remote state, multi-environment) and solid Docker containerization experience, including CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions.
• Programming — Strong Python proficiency for pipelines, API development, and data processing (Java backend knowledge a plus).
• Data Architecture — Experience with Vector Databases, including index design, metadata schemas, and hybrid search.
• Communication — Exceptional English communication, able to navigate executive conversations and technical deep-dives equally well.

Requirements

• Multi-Agent Systems — Experience with agent orchestration frameworks (CrewAI, Strands, Bedrock AgentCore) beyond basic LangGraph implementation.
• Industry Agnostic Experience — Background in data-driven decision-making within traditional industries such as Real Estate, Healthcare, Legal, or Marketing/Communications.
• Operational Data Flows — Familiarity with data orchestration for complex business models.
• Database Ecosystems — Knowledge of Snowflake, SQL Server, or PostgreSQL for robust data warehousing and orchestration.
• Full-Stack Awareness — Familiarity with Angular or modern frontend frameworks to ensure smooth data coordination across the entire stack.
• Legacy Systems Integration — Experience migrating or connecting data from traditional legacy systems to modern cloud environments.

What You Will Do

• Architectural Ownership — Set and own the cloud-native architecture on AWS for this MCP project, ensuring scalability and security from the ground up.
• Technical Team Leadership — Lead the technical team (engineers, AI specialists) building this project, staying hands-on with code and architecture decisions.
• Client-Facing Technical Voice — Be the primary technical point of contact with the client, translating complex architecture decisions into clear business value.
• Strategic AI Implementation — Define strategy for agentic workflows, RAG implementations, and MCP-based integrations.
• Quality & Mentorship — Conduct code reviews, enforce engineering best practices, and lead technical interviews to benchmark talent as the team scales.

Benefits

• $6,000–$7,000/month — paid in USD, bi-weekly via Deel.
• Fully Remote — work from anywhere during 9am–5pm EST.
• Full-time contractor role, tied initially to this specific client project, with strong potential to transition to other projects based on performance.
• Paid PTO — accrual starts after a 3-month trial period.
• Referral Program — earn a bonus for referring talent that gets hired.

To Apply

Please send your resume in English. Include the following depending on your role:

• LinkedIn Profile URL (always required).
• GitHub Repository — code samples or architecture work (required).
• Certifications — AWS or equivalent, if applicable.
• Cover Letter — tell us about a complex system you architected and the impact it had (optional but encouraged).
