Belgrade, Central Serbia Crossover Full time $200,000 - $250,000 per year

We're operating platforms that serve thousands of students and teams in production:

  • TimeBack: Educational platform supporting Alpha School's 2-hour learning model (99th percentile test results).
  • Incept: Content generation platform producing all personalized educational content for multiple learning applications deployed at Alpha School.
  • Crossover: AI-powered hiring platform handling tens of thousands of applicants per month, staffing schools and companies globally.

You'll take ownership of one of these platforms and dedicate most of your time to implementing the technically demanding components of the codebase with a small team (3-5 strong engineers, no juniors). Your architectural choices dictate whether other teams can ship new applications quickly, integrate seamlessly, and deliver value to students. Effective decisions unlock massive leverage. Poor choices create integration chaos and slow down multiple teams.

You design what you build and operate. You define quality standards and technical patterns for your platform. We follow a spec-driven approach: you architect before you code, always design before you execute. High autonomy, no committees, no approval boards. Small, cohesive team where you're accountable for what you deliver.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Technical Leadership: Make strategic architectural choices and define technical patterns for the team to adopt.
  • AI Leadership: Champion the adoption of new AI workflows and develop high-impact playbooks.
  • Implementation: Build the complex, mission-critical components of the codebase alongside your team.
  • Quality Reviews: Verify your team adheres to established patterns and upholds quality standards.

What You Won't Be Doing

  • Functioning as an architect without writing code
  • Spending time in endless meetings
  • Managing people (this is a technical leadership position, not a people management role)
  • Working on legacy maintenance or internal IT infrastructure

Basic Requirements
Lead Software Architect key responsibilities

  • At least 5 years of professional software development experience building software products
  • At least 3 years as either a lead engineer (reviewing others' work) or architect (making key technical decisions)
  • Experience working on platform-level products where other teams consumed your APIs
  • Deep engagement with AI tools, actively experimenting and pushing boundaries
