Job description
DevOps, standardized – write once, deploy everywhere
Architect is a rapidly growing startup creating a next-generation, cloud application platform that standardizes the way developers and operators work with one another. Developers use our platform to create “portable” applications and provision their own environments, and operators use it to control the tools and policies used to run and deploy to production. This shared standard is exactly what teams need to alleviate pressure on ops and enable developers to deploy on their own without sacrificing operational control and security.
Architect is a venture-backed startup led by engineering leader and entrepreneur, David Thor, who was previously an engineering executive at Confirm.io through its sale to Facebook in 2018. The business has raised $6.5M in funding in only two years from top-tier investors like Next Coast Ventures, NextGen Venture Partners, Comcast Ventures, and more. We've also rallied together a stellar group of angel investors and advisors, including the co-founder of SaltStack, Marc Chenn, and co-founder of LogDNA, Chris Nguyen.
We’re poised for rapid growth, and this is the perfect opportunity to join our team and build the future of DevOps!

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Architect.io. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
