Senior Cloud Architect & Tech Lead

Amplifai transforms AI potential into measurable business value

One of our partners is transforming how the construction industry measures and manages carbon emissions, helping organizations meet their sustainability goals with accurate, scalable, and actionable insights. Their SaaS platform enables carbon footprint calculations, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data management, and complex environmental reporting — and we’re ready to take it from 80+ customers to 700+ enterprise clients.

Senior Cloud Architect & Tech Lead

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead architecture design for a highly scalable, enterprise-ready SaaS platform built with

  Vue.js, Firebase Functions (Node.js), Firestore, Redis

  , and GenKit AI.
• Design and optimize complex hierarchical data models and computational workloads for high performance at scale.
• Evaluate platform evolution options — from deep Firebase optimizations to potential migration strategies — balancing technical debt, scalability, and enterprise needs.
• Implement SOC2/ISO27001-ready security controls including audit logging, data encryption, and enterprise-grade access management.
• Drive performance engineering to address Firestore fan-out queries, function cold starts, and database scaling bottlenecks.
• Oversee CI/CD automation and deployment pipelines for multi-environment enterprise releases.
• Design APIs and integration strategies to meet enterprise customer requirements and enable global scaling.
• Mentor and guide the development team, ensuring technical quality, scalability, and adoption of best practices.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, sustainability experts, and customer success teams to deliver impactful features and integrations.
• Plan and execute disaster recovery strategies, business continuity procedures, and cost-optimized infrastructure scaling.
• Maintain comprehensive technical documentation for architecture, processes, and security controls.

Required Skills & Experience:

•  

  5+ years of Google Cloud Platform

  experience with deep expertise in the Firebase ecosystem.
• Proven ability to scale SaaS platforms through 5–10x growth phases, ideally in an enterprise B2B environment.
• Strong background in serverless architecture, event-driven systems, and scaling NoSQL databases (Firestore, MongoDB, DynamoDB).
• Expertise in Vue.js for large-scale application performance and maintainability.
• Hands-on experience implementing enterprise security frameworks (SOC2, ISO27001) and compliance requirements.
• Demonstrated daily use of GenAI developer tools such as Cursor, Claude, Lovable, and GitHub Copilot to accelerate coding, documentation, and architecture work.
• Track record of performance optimization for high-traffic production systems.
• 3+ years leading engineering teams through architectural transitions and complex technical challenges.
• Strong communication skills to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Domain knowledge in construction industry workflows or sustainability technology (LCA, carbon accounting).
• Experience with numerical computing, scientific applications, or computationally intensive workloads.
• Familiarity with multi-region deployments and advanced analytics architectures.
• Knowledge of data residency and privacy regulations
• Knowledge of

  BIM (Building Information Modeling)

  ,

  IFC standards

  for construction and engineering data interoperability.

Ideal Candidate

You’re a Senior Software Engineer who thrives on scaling complex systems for enterprise customers. You embrace GenAI tools as an integral part of your development workflow, using platforms like Cursor, Claude, Lovable, and GitHub Copilot to deliver faster and smarter. Experience with BIM, IFC, or Speckle is a strong plus, enabling you to bridge sustainability tech with real-world construction data standards. You balance deep technical execution with strategic thinking and can communicate effectively across teams. While direct sustainability or construction tech experience is a plus, your ability to quickly master complex domains is what will set you apart.
