Enterprise Architect - Cloud & AI

Role Overview

Jumio is not just processing transactions; we are pioneering the future of identity intelligence. To lead this transformation, you serve as a visionary AI Adoption Catalyst and Systems Architect, redefining our technical landscape. In this role, you aren’t a traditional gatekeeper—you are a Developer Advocate and mission-driven leader. You take end-to-end ownership of our architecture, positioning machine learning and GenAI at the heart of our DNA. Leveraging your deep expertise in AWS and cloud-native engineering, you provide the engine that empowers our developers to innovate at lightning speed, ensuring our multi-tenant SaaS platform remains the global benchmark for performance and scale.

This is a mandate for a technical doer who thrives on the front lines. Building on our strong, scalable cloud foundation, you will actively champion the adoption of GenAI tools across the software development lifecycle while driving continuous architectural improvement, evolution, and operational cost optimization. Your proven experience in AWS is the toolkit you use to clear architectural roadblocks and optimize performance, enabling engineering teams to move with unprecedented velocity.

As a strategic technical leader who stays close to the code, you inspire an AI-First culture. You bridge the gap between visionary enterprise design and pragmatic execution, driving cross-departmental impact while fostering self-service capabilities and cloud efficiency to ensure that as Jumio grows, our technology scales predictably and elegantly.

Key Responsibilities

End-to-End System Architecture & Optimization

• Own the technical vision for scalable, high-performance, cost-efficient systems.
• Define modern architecture patterns that enable growth, high TPS, and seamless scaling.
• Architect and optimize multi-tenant SaaS platforms, ensuring configurability and performance.
• Design self-service capabilities to reduce engineering overhead (e.g., self-service workflow designer, self-service rules engine, self-service reporting).
• Lead cloud cost efficiency initiatives, optimizing infrastructure, model execution, and compute resources.
• Collaborate closely with AWS Support and Solution Architects to optimize infrastructure and leverage cutting-edge cloud capabilities.

Data & AI Infrastructure

• Architect high-scale, distributed data processing pipelines for batch and real-time workloads.
• Optimize data storage, retrieval, and processing layers to enhance system performance and reduce cost.
• Enable data self-service for analytics, ML, and real-time business use cases.
• Ensure data governance, security, and compliance across all systems.

Technical Leadership & Hands-on Architecture

• Guide engineering teams on architectural best practices and pragmatic execution.
• Coach teams on scalable microservices, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native patterns.
• Practice "Architecting by Example" through technical prototyping and proof-of-concepts to validate architectural decisions.

GenAI Acceleration & Architectural Advocacy

• You serve as the AI Adoption Catalyst and engineering champion, actively partnering with developers and business units to integrate LLMs and agentic workflows that securely hyper-automate the development lifecycle.
• You clear roadblocks and deploy agile architectural guardrails that empower teams to experiment rapidly with automated AI tools, building a self-service AI culture while maintaining rigorous cost-performance optimization.
• Your leadership evolves architectural governance in
