Join us at Taskrabbit, where your work will be meaningful, your ideas valued, and your potential unleashed! Prior to applying please note: • This role is hybrid, requiring 2 days in office at our San Francisco or NYC hub every Tuesday & Wednesday. About the Role: The Architecture Team drives Taskrabbit's Platform Modernization efforts, guiding engineering teams toward our Target State Architecture (TSA). As a Staff Software Architect, you'll serve as an embedded representative of the Architecture team, partnering with engineering teams across the platform to accelerate their modernization work. You'll operate as a subject matter expert on platform modernization within a small team of architects, applying AI-assisted and Spec-Driven Development (SDD) practices to help teams build new components using our Target State Architecture stack of technologies. This role is hands-on and results-oriented: pairing directly with engineers and technical leads, not just advising from the sidelines. You will be: • Acting as the Architecture team's representative to assigned engineering teams, driving platform modernization projects in accordance with the TSA. • Applying AI tooling and Spec-Driven Development practices to help teams modernize the parts of the platform they own. • Pairing with engineers and technical leadership to unblock modernization work and transfer architectural patterns directly into team practice. • Serving as a subject matter expert on platform modernization, advising on migration approach, sequencing, and risk. • Advocating for TSA-aligned solutions in technical discussions, including working through design discussions with engineering leads and other stakeholders. • Collaborating with a small team of architects to maintain consistency across modernization efforts platform-wide. • Writing and reviewing Technical Design Documents (TDDs) and RFCs, and coaching authors to strengthen their proposals. • Defining standards for tooling, coding, processes, AI usage, and documentation strategies that make modernization repeatable across teams. This is not a purely consultative role. You're expected to engage directly with projects and drive results forward — TDDs, code, and outcomes. You should have: • 8+ years of professional experience in software development, with a primary focus on building and scaling backend systems. • Demonstrated experience with distributed systems and event-driven architecture. • TypeScript/Node.js experience preferred; candidates with a background in another strongly typed language (e.g., Java, .NET) will also be considered. • Experience with containerization and containerized application deployment. • An enthusiast for AI tooling and AI-assisted development practices, with a proven track record of applying them professionally. • Excellent communication skill
