YOUR MISSION

As a Pillar Architect Software Engineer at Mural working with the Enterprise group, you will work across engineering teams, product managers, design teams, and leadership providing architectural expertise, mentorship, working proofs of concept, and technical design guidance.

Mural is transforming how teams put imagination to work by making it easy for everyone to collaborate visually from anywhere. We need sophisticated and smooth-running enterprise capabilities to succeed in large customer environments! The 4 teams and approximately 20 engineers in our Enterprise group own cross-cutting product feature areas, including user provisioning and management, permissions/access controls, single sign-on and SCIM API provisioning, secure data storage, admin user controls, and company configuration, as well as data retention/deletion features. Like all of Mural, our organization is globally distributed and works 100% remotely!

In this role, you will:

• Report directly to our Director of Engineering, Enterprise.
• Collaborate with engineering leadership as a key author of our technical strategy.
• Guide our teams in technical decision-making without gatekeeping through intentional culture creation, transparency, and occasional formal review.
• Help teams choose the right tools, frameworks, or techniques for their projects.
• Contribute to engineering-wide initiatives as a Mural’s engineering leadership team leader.
• Serve as a key resource for our engineering teams and identify and raise cross-team and cross-org technical, process, and culture issues, working with other technical and non-technical leaders as needed.
• Spend less time on writing code, more time on having conversations with stakeholders, writing, reviewing, and socializing plans.

YOUR PROFILE

• Deep experience in technical leadership as a lead engineer for multiple teams.
• Experience working in a software engineering organization of Mural’s size or larger (~25 product teams, ~200 engineers).
• You seek first to collaborate, understand, and listen before sharing your opinion.
• Strong verbal and written English communication skills and comfortability presenting highly technical topics to a highly technical audience and less technical business stakeholders.
• Experience building software using React or another modern frontend framework and Node.js across the full stack, but are more interested in broad exposure and helping others tackle their problems and less interested in spending 40 hours a week in a code editor.
• Experience mentoring Senior and Staff level engineers.
• Designed systems that are used in a large-scale production environment.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, design patterns, and practices related to building fault-tolerant, highly available, performant applications.
• An advocate for quality and participate in setting standards for the organization.

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience building and operating systems pertaining to user provisioning, user identity & access management, SSO, secure data storage, data residency, admin user controls, and data retention/deletion.
• Experience working at and helping companies achieve efficiencies at scale.
