Software Architect

Apply Online

We’re hiring a Software Architect to help shape the technical future of Enforcement Mobile, a widely used platform for citation management and crash reporting used by public safety agencies.
 
This role is focused on architecture, technical strategy, and engineering influence. You’ll partner closely with engineering leadership, product management, and development teams to guide the evolution of a mature, proven product toward a modern, cloud-native, event-driven architecture on AWS.
 
This is not a people management role, but it is a high-impact technical leadership role. You’ll help define architectural direction, evaluate tradeoffs, mentor engineers, and ensure our technical decisions improve product quality, scalability, reliability, and customer experience.
 
Enforcement Mobile is evolving incrementally, so this role requires strong technical judgment, practical decision-making, and the ability to balance near-term product needs with long-term platform health.
