What We Believe
We believe that hoteliers deserve better. The global hotel sector is a booming $500B+ industry, yet hotels are facing many complex challenges, including increased pressure from online travel agencies and intense competition from ever-growing room inventory and the shared economy. That coupled with aging, cumbersome technology is making the job of the hotelier more difficult than ever. At Revinate, we use cutting edge technology to build powerful software for hotels to take back control and drive direct revenue. The simplicity and beautiful UX of our solutions are a breath of fresh air in an industry of old technology.

As our Chief Architect, you will be a hands-on technical leader, actively shaping the technical vision and architecture of our cutting-edge software products and services with a strong emphasis on security. You will lead the evolution and unification of our technology stack while also rolling up your sleeves and diving into the code alongside our team to give guidance where needed. Your deep expertise in high volume, real-time data processing pipelines powering modern web applications built on cloud-native infrastructure will be instrumental in both guiding and implementing our technical strategy.A key focus of your role will be to design resilient applications that can withstand infrastructure failures and leverage the advantages of ephemeral resources, all while maintaining a robust security posture. You will also be responsible for making informed decisions about when to employ serverless architecture patterns versus traditional microservices, based on the specific needs of each application, taking security implications into consideration.
What You'll Do
- Develop a comprehensive technology roadmap that aligns with our business goals, focusing on consolidating and optimizing our tech stack while prioritizing resilience, scalability, and security.
- Define architecture principles and standards that promote scalability, maintainability, reusability, performance, and robust security across our real-time data processing pipelines and diverse applications.
- Evaluate and recommend emerging technologies, particularly in the realm of real-time data processing, cloud-native architectures, and serverless computing, to stay at the forefront of innovation and ensure our systems remain resilient to change and resistant to threats.
- Actively participate in architectural design reviews and technical discussions, ensuring that security considerations are integrated throughout the entire development lifecycle.
- Establish a culture of security awareness and best practices across engineering teams.
- Lead by example, actively contributing to code reviews, design sessions, and troubleshooting complex technical challenges related to resilience, scalability and performance.
- Design core components of our real-time data processing pipelines and applications, leveraging your expertise in building fault-tolerant, scalable, and secure systems.
- Pair program with engineers when needed to share knowledge, mentor, and ensure the implementation of best practices for resilient architecture, including fault tolerance, graceful degradation, automated recovery, and security by design.
- Drive the migration towards a unified and modern technology stack, actively participating in the refactoring and modernization efforts, while maintaining a focus on resilience throughout the process.
- Make informed decisions about when to use serverless architecture patterns versus traditional microservices based on factors such as cost, scalability, operational overhead, and development complexity, always prioritizing the needs of the application, overall system resilience, and security requirements.
- Coach engineers on how to design resilient software by considering factors such as fault tolerance, scalability, maintainability, performance, and security.
- Foster a culture of learning and continuous improvement around resilience engineering practices.
- Guide teams in selecting appropriate technologies and architectural patterns (e.g., serverless vs. microservices) to achieve both resilience, business objectives, and security goals.
- Partner with product management to understand the evolving requirements of our real-time data pipelines and applications.
- Collaborate closely with Engineering, DevOps to ensure smooth deployments, monitoring, and scalability of our infrastructure and applications, with a focus on building self-healing systems and automating recovery processes.
- Clearly communicate technical decisions, trade-offs, and progress to stakeholders at all levels, emphasizing the importance of resilience and security in our systems.
What You'll Bring
