About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and maintain Power Factors' enterprise architecture standards, reference architectures, and technical guardrails across all verticals
Lead architectural reviews for major initiatives, ensuring consistency, scalability, and long-term maintainability
Own the technical roadmap for cross-cutting platform capabilities (data platform, integration layer, identity, observability)
Design for complex, high-availability systems where correctness, latency, and data integrity carry real operational and commercial consequences
Partner with vertical leaders (SCADA, EMS, APM, Platform, CloudOps) to ensure local architecture decisions align with enterprise direction
Build and lead a distributed architecture function that operates as a trusted technical authority across Greece, Montreal, and other regions
Mentor senior engineers and engineering leaders on architectural judgment, system design, and technical tradeoff analysis
Establish and run architecture governance forums (design reviews, RFC processes, technical steering committees)
Act as a technical escalation point for the highest-stakes design decisions across the organization
Architect and personally help build end-to-end AI-based product capabilities — from data acquisition and model selection through deployment and monitoring
Define Power Factors' architectural approach to LLM-based products, including use of Model Context Protocol (MCP), retrieval architectures, and agentic workflows
Evaluate and select development LLMs and AI platforms appropriate for embedding into commercial products
Own the technical bridge between REMI and other AI-native initiatives and the broader platform architecture
Bring machine learning and data science expertise to bear on product decisions — model selection, feature engineering, data pipeline design, and MLOps practices
Write production code, prototype new architectural patterns, and directly contribute to the hardest technical problems facing the organization
Lead by example on code quality, testing discipline, and engineering craftsmanship
Stay close enough to the codebase to make credible, current architectural judgments rather than relying on secondhand reporting
Build proof-of-concept implementations to de-risk major architectural bets before full team investment
Architect scalable IoT data acquisition systems capable of ingesting, normalizing, and processing high-volume telemetry from distributed renewable energy assets
Design architecture for edge devices and Power Plant Controllers (PPC), balancing on-site computation, latency constraints, and cloud connectivity
Ensure architectural approaches account for grid code compliance, real-time control requirements, and the operational realities of SCADA and EMS environments
Own cloud architecture strategy across GCP and/or AWS, including cost, resilience, and security posture
Advance Power Factors' multi-tenant SaaS architecture to support scale, tenant isolation, and configurability without fragmenting the codebase
Define architectural standards for mobile app development where products extend to field and operations use cases
Identify, evaluate, and roll out AI development tools that enable a 3–4x productivity improvement across engineering teams
Define best practices for AI-assisted coding, testing, and code review, balancing speed with quality and security
Partner with engineering leadership to measure and report on productivity gains from AI tooling adoption

Requirements

What you’ll need

15–20 years of progressive experience in software engineering, with significant time spent in architecture and technical leadership roles
Enterprise Architecture & Complex System Design: demonstrated experience architecting large-scale, high-complexity systems with significant operational stakes
Technical Team Leadership: proven ability to lead and mentor senior engineers and architects across distributed teams
Trading/Transactional Systems: experience building high-throughput, high-integrity trading or transactional systems where correctness and performance are non-negotiable
AI Product Delivery: track record architecting and shipping end-to-end AI-based product introductions, from concept to production launch
