Associate Product Architect

Job description.

Are you a Software Engineer who enjoys understanding how products fit together, not just writing the code? Curious about how technical decisions shape the success of a product and interested in moving toward architecture and product design?

My client is looking for a Product Architect to join their team. This role is aimed at engineers earlier in their careers who want to step slightly away from purely coding-focused work and begin developing skills in product architecture, system design, and technical product thinking.

You will work closely with experienced architects, engineers, and product managers to help shape how new features and products are structured. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys the "why" behind technical decisions and wants to develop broader product and architectural thinking.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the design and architecture of new product features and systems

  • Work with engineers and product managers to translate ideas into practical technical approaches

  • Help define how components of the product interact and scale

  • Assist in documenting architectural decisions and technical design

  • Analyse existing systems and suggest improvements to structure and efficiency

  • Collaborate with development teams during implementation to ensure designs are followed

  • Learn from senior architects and develop a strong understanding of product architecture and system design

Key Skills & Experience

  • 1-3 years of experience as a Software Engineer or Developer

  • Good understanding of software development fundamentals

  • Exposure to system design concepts or architecture discussions

  • Interest in how products are built from both a technical and user perspective

  • Strong problem-solving skills and curiosity about technical design

  • Good communication skills and ability to work across teams

Nice to Have

  • Experience working on full product development cycles

  • Exposure to cloud platforms or modern web architectures

  • Interest in product thinking, UX considerations, or platform design

What My Client Offers

  • A structured opportunity to develop architectural and product thinking skills

  • Mentorship from experienced engineers and architects

  • Exposure to product strategy and system design early in your career

  • A role that blends technical knowledge with product insight
