designers, product managers, cloud infrastructure specialists, and full-stack
engineering teams (primarily working in C# and React). You’ll also engage with
Sage Partners to ensure seamless third-party integrations.
How Success Will Be Measured
Delivery of scalable, secure, and maintainable service architectures
Alignment of solution designs with Sage’s enterprise architecture
standards
Influence across engineering teams through architectural mentorship
Improvement in developer experience, service performance, and
integration quality
Skills You’ll Gain
End-to-end architecture ownership in a large-scale cloud platform
Exposure to embedded services at enterprise level, used by external
partners and internal teams
Broader impact through mentorship, code review, and technical
leadership
Strategic engagement with senior stakeholders, balancing delivery and
long-term vision
Snapshot of Your Day-to-Day
You’ll design core components of the Embedded Services Platform, guide
architecture decisions, write and review code (primarily in C#), and ensure
implementation quality across development teams. You’ll lead discussions with
product teams, participate in partner enablement, and champion architecture
governance while keeping a hands-on role.
