Principal Architect, Systems & AI

Job Summary:

EnvisionWare is hiring an Architect to serve as the technical truth layer for a company-wide AI-first transformation. You will own architectural integrity across a portfolio of 40+ products, use AI to map and interrogate the existing codebase, and validate every AI-generated technical claim before it becomes a decision. This role is the guardrail that makes speed safe. You report into the Director of Engineering and act as architecture authority across the internal team and Contour pod. Contract-to-hire is acceptable if that is the fastest path to the right person. The right candidate has deep systems-thinking capability, practical skepticism about both legacy systems and AI-generated output, and a track record of working close to delivery — not detached from it.
