Empower your teams with recognition that matters. Awardco is more than rewards and recognition—it's your culture engine for engagement and performance. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
As Awardco scales, so does the complexity of the systems that run our business. We've reached the point where we need a dedicated architect — not just an engineer — to own the strategic layer of our systems ecosystem: the layer that sits above the infrastructure and security substrate owned by IT/Security, and below (and feeds) the Data and AI layers our company is increasingly built on.
What they're looking for
- Partner closely with IT/Security to ensure systems architecture is built on a secure, compliant, well-governed foundation, without owning that substrate directly
- Partner closely with Data and AI architects and teams to make sure downstream systems, integrations, and data models are AI- and analytics-ready — clean, well-modeled, and reliably queryable
- Develop and maintain architectural blueprints, reference architectures, system maps, and integration diagrams that give the business a single source of truth for "how our systems fit together."
- Produce solution briefs and "art of the possible" concepts that translate technical architecture into strategic options leadership can act on
- Proactively surface strategic infrastructure moves — consolidation opportunities, technical debt to retire, platforms to rationalize — before they become urgent problems
- Own end-to-end architecture for complex, cross-functional initiatives spanning Salesforce and Awardco's broader business systems ecosystem

This person will be the connective tissue between Systems Ops, IT/Security, and our Data/AI architects, ensuring we have one cohesive, simplified, well-integrated infrastructure strategy rather than a patchwork of point solutions. If you think in blueprints, love turning ambiguity into a clear architectural point of view, and want to shape how a...
