Full Job Description
## Description Are you a high-performing software architect who has already made the shift to AI-first development, directing coding agents rather than writing code yourself? Do you want to work for a best-in-class, 100% remote organization with the brightest talent from around the world? If so, then keep reading… At Sparkrock, we help social benefit organizations—such as nonprofits, school boards, and government agencies—reach their full potential through technology. Every day, over 150,000 people use our ERP and product platforms to work more efficiently, freeing up time and resources to focus on the good they want to achieve. As our AI Product Chief Architect, you will own the technical architecture of Sparkrock's K-12 Student Information System, a platform carrying decades of battle-tested complexity across VB6, COM, and massive T-SQL, and you'll do it AI-first. This role goes beyond writing requirements, and in fact goes beyond writing code at all: you set the architectural direction, system boundaries, data contracts, and the evolution strategy from legacy to modern C#, and you direct AI agents to navigate the legacy maze and implement your decisions. Most architect roles either ignore legacy reality or drown you in it. Here, you get both: the intellectual challenge of deeply complex systems and the leverage of AI agents to handle the implementation. You'll get a quiet thrill from figuring out what a 400-line stored procedure actually does, then confidently direct agents to reason about it and rebuild it correctly. This is hard, high-rigor work, but if you've already made the shift to AI-first development, this is the role where that shift actually matters, where deep legacy expertise and agentic leverage compound instead of competing. If you've already made the shift to AI-first, this is the role where that shift actually matters. Responsibilities *Own the end-to-end technical architecture of Sparkrock's SIS platform, spanning legacy VB6/COM/T-SQL
