About the Role: We’re looking for an experienced Software Architect to join our platform development team. In this role you’ll leverage your background and experience in developing detailed specifications and solutions, balancing cutting edge technical work with client and market needs. 

You will become deeply familiar with our platform’s features and data model.

As we expand our product offerings, your experience will help guide new features and improvements, keeping our solutions aligned with evolving customer needs and market trends.  

Your role will also involve gathering and interpreting inputs from customers, potential clients, and industry trends, while collaborating with internal teams to ensure that our products stay relevant and innovative in the land administration domain. With our current focus on spatial solutions, and potential future product shifts, this is an ideal role for someone with curiosity to explore new directions and learn more about GIS tools.

This role reports to the Chief Product Officer.
