Software Architect / Founding Technical Leader
Remote | Florida Preferred | Significant Equity Opportunity
Prosperity Placement Solutions is conducting a confidential search for an innovative, entrepreneurial Software Architect to help launch and lead the development of a groundbreaking web-based technology platform.
This is not just another software development position. This is an opportunity to take a company’s vision from concept to reality and become a key architect behind a potentially game-changing platform. The selected candidate will have the ability to influence product direction, system design, scalability, infrastructure, security, and long-term technical strategy from day one.
In addition to a highly competitive compensation package, this position includes a substantial sweat equity opportunity with multimillion-dollar upside potential.
We are seeking a true builder, strategist, and technical leader who thrives in startup-style environments and knows how to transform ideas into scalable, real-world applications.
WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY STANDS OUT
• Significant sweat equity ownership opportunity
• Ability to architect an entire platform from the ground up
• Remote flexibility with high autonomy
• Direct influence on company growth and technology direction
• Work alongside international development teams in the US, India, and Colombia
• Opportunity to build and lead future engineering operations
• Fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment with strong long-term potential
The Software Architect will be responsible for designing, planning, and overseeing the development of a scalable web-based platform. This individual will serve as the technical visionary for the organization and will guide distributed engineering teams to successfully execute the product roadmap.
The ideal candidate is both highly technical and business-minded — someone who can communicate with stakeholders, define architecture, establish development standards, and lead global teams toward execution.
RESPONSIBILITIES
• Design and architect a scalable, secure, cloud-based web platform
• Translate business concepts and product ideas into technical solutions
• Lead and direct development teams located in the US, India, and Colombia
• Define system architecture, infrastructure, APIs, integrations, and database strategy
• Establish coding standards, development workflows, and deployment processes
• Collaborate with leadership on long-term technology strategy and product evolution
• Evaluate and recommend technologies, frameworks, and tools
• Oversee software scalability, performance optimization, and cybersecurity best practices
• Participate in product planning, feature prioritization, and technical decision-making
• Help recruit and mentor future engineering talent as the company scales
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
• 7+ years of experience in software engineering, software architecture, or full-stack development
• Proven experience architecting and launching web-based platforms or SaaS products
• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud)
• Experience leading or coordinating offshore and distributed development teams
• Strong background in system design, APIs, databases, and scalable architecture
• Experience with modern development frameworks and technologies
• Strong understanding of cybersecurity and software best practices
• Ability to work in fast-paced, startup or entrepreneurial environments
• Excellent communication and leadership skills
• Self-starter mentality with the ability to execute independently
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
• Previous startup or founder-level experience
• Experience building products from concept through launch
• Experience scaling platforms for high-growth environments
• Florida-based candidates strongly preferred
• Willingness to travel occasionally for strategic meetings and team collaboration
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
