Software & AI Architect

About brightfin

:

Brightfin is the AI-native enterprise platform helping Fortune 500 and mid-market companies optimize IT spend across IT Financial Management (ITFM), Technology Expense Management (TEM), and FinOps. We are growing aggressively, with a clear and ambitious path ahead. Our customers include large healthcare systems, financial institutions, federal government agencies, and global enterprises spanning both domestic and international markets — organizations where data security and trust are non-negotiable.

Job Summary

The Software & AI Architect reports to Brightfin's Chief Product & AI Officer and owns the technical architecture of the platform end to end: the software design behind our products, the AI-native capability built into them, the AI-driven development lifecycle the engineering org runs on, and the technical infrastructure and guardrails that make AI safe to use company-wide. This is a builder role. The Software & AI architect writes code, ships working systems, and proves ideas before anyone hires a team to scale them.

Essential Functions / Duties / Responsibilities

Software architecture and platform design

• Own the end-to-end technical architecture of brightfin's product suite, including platform-native builds and any standalone SaaS products, and the decisions that keep the platform scalable, secure, and fast to extend.
• Set engineering standards for quality, scalability, and reliability that hold up for enterprise, federal, and international customers alike.

AI strategy and roadmap

• Define brightfin's point of view on where AI creates real advantage across the platform and turn that point of view into a roadmap the Chief Product & AI Officer and executive team can act on.
• Prioritize initiatives by the outcome they produce for customers or the business, tied directly to brightfin's growth goals — not by novelty.
