I have extensive experience in datastores and data pipelines; nearly 15 yr of work that included such. I also have worked on bigdata systems, where we ingested, minimally, more than 200 GB per day. I also have extensive experience in data, including personalization and financial data warehousing. These kinds of targeting systems designs can become a revenue engine for many kinds of business models. My AI work to date as dealt with data prep, cleaning, structuring and segmenting/classifying, with prediction, recommendation, pricing, and retraining. Applications included lead source QC, price/value prediction, and matching. Other applications included regression modeling for attentional measures and content. Other platform services included feature extraction (structuring) and data rollups with lineage. I’ve done this with financial accounts at MyBankTracker, where I built engines for pricing and personalization, as well as our own CDP / CIP, ad network and fingerprinting/unmasking platform. This was done with student loans, with Barker and LendKey. I expanded to brokerage and other instruments at Investopedia - where I drove the data architecture of an immersive personal-narrative experience. I also developed large data warehousing and CDP modeling at Even Financial. Triple Point Liquidity involved such data in the form of KYC, and was transited via blockchain, compiling indexing time-series in private equity.

FAQs
Why hire an architect?
In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.
Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire an architect, multiple engineers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote architects can help keep your website up-to-date.
How do I hire architects?
To hire an architect, you need to go through a hiring process of defining your needs, posting a job description, screening resumes, conducting interviews, testing candidates’ skills, checking references, and making an offer.
Arc offers three services to help you hire architects effectively and efficiently. Hire full-time architects from a vetted candidates pool, with new options every two weeks, and pay through prepaid packages or per hire. Alternatively, hire the top 2.3% of expert freelance architects in 72 hours, with weekly payments.
If you’re not ready to commit to the paid plans, our free job posting service is for you. By posting your job on Arc, you can reach up to 450,000 developers around the world. With that said, the free plan will not give you access to pre-vetted architects.
Furthermore, we’ve partnered with compliance and payroll platforms Deel and Remote to make paperwork and hiring across borders easier. This way, you can focus on finding the right architects for your company, and let Arc handle the logistics.
Where do I hire the best remote architects?
There are two types of platforms you can hire architects from: general and niche marketplaces. General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents unlimited to developers. While you can find architects on general platforms, top tech talents generally avoid general marketplaces in order to escape bidding wars.
If you’re looking to hire the best remote architects, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their architects for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote architects.
Some factors to consider when you hire architects include the platform’s specialty, developer’s geographical location, and the service’s customer support. Depending on your hiring budget, you may also want to compare the pricing and fee structure.
Make sure to list out all of the important factors when you compare and decide on which remote developer job board and platform to use to find architects for hire.
How do I write an architect job description?
Writing a good architect job description is crucial in helping you hire architects that your company needs. A job description’s key elements include a clear job title, a brief company overview, a summary of the role, the required duties and responsibilities, and necessary and preferred experience. To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.
Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.
Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote architect should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.
For a comprehensive guide on how to write an attractive job description to help you hire architects, read our Engineer Job Description Guide & Templates.
What skills should I look for in an architect?
The top five technical skills architects should possess include proficiency in programming languages, understanding data structures and algorithms, experience with databases, familiarity with version control systems, and knowledge of testing and debugging.
Meanwhile, the top five soft skills are communication, problem-solving, time management, attention to detail, and adaptability. Effective communication is essential for coordinating with clients and team members, while problem-solving skills enable architects to analyze issues and come up with effective solutions. Time management skills are important to ensure projects are completed on schedule, while attention to detail helps to catch and correct issues before they become bigger problems. Finally, adaptability is crucial for architects to keep up with evolving technology and requirements.
