We want 6sense to be the best chapter of your career. Staff Architect Rol e Overview We’re looking for a Staff Architect to lead architecture and technical delivery for a major domain within 6sense’s Revenue Intelligence platform (e.g., real-time signals ingestion processing, ML inference/serving, multi-tenant data isolation, or GTM integrations activation). This is a senior individual contributor role focused on high-leverage system design + execution leadership : driving architecture for complex initiatives, partnering closely with engineering and product leaders, and ensuring solutions are scalable, resilient, secure, and operable. You will be hands-on where it matters —through reference implementations, prototypes, and deep technical guidance that helps teams ship. Key Responsibilities Domain Architecture Ownership Own the architecture for a core domain of the platform, ensuring it meets scalability, reliability, security, and performance requirements. Drive end-to-end design for cross-service initiatives: clarify requirements, propose options, lead tradeoffs, and align stakeholders. Produce high-quality design artifacts (HLDs, LLDs, data flow diagrams, API contracts) and lead design reviews. Delivery Enablement (Hands-on Leadership) Provide hands-on technical leadership through reference implementations , prototypes/POCs, and critical-path contributions when needed. Partner with engineering teams to translate architecture into executable plans (milestones, risks, dependencies, rollout strategy). Help teams build “operable” systems: instrumentation, alerting, runbooks, dashboards, and failure-mode thinking. Data Signal Processing (if domain-aligned) Lead architecture for ingestion/enrichment pipelines handling large-scale behavioral events and third-party data. Drive improvements to data quality, lineage, observability, and freshness SLAs. AI/ML Serving (if domain-aligned) Guide architecture for feature pipelines and inference serving (batch and online), model monitoring, experimentation, and safe rollouts. Partner with data science and ML engineering to productionize reliable, scalable ML systems. Multi-Tenant Platform Foundations (if domain-aligned) Drive patterns for tenant isolation, tenant-aware configuration, partitioning strategy, and scalable onboarding. Identify and mitigate risks around compliance, data integrity, and access control. Integration Activation Lead architecture for integrations with CRM/MAP/GTM tools (Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, Outreach, etc.). Establish patterns for reliable data activation (idempotency, retries, backfills, versioning, and extensibility). Engineering Excellence Mentorship Raise the bar through design reviews, technical mentorship, and knowledge-sharing. Contribute to architecture standards and reusable patterns; participate in architecture forums/councils. Identify architectural risks early and drive mitigation plans. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. 8+ years in software engineering with significant focus on distributed systems and system design Demonstrated experience designing and delivering data-intensive, distributed, cloud-based systems . Strong understanding of: Distributed systems, reliability, scalability, fault tolerance M ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
