Enterprise Architect

Ready to work on real distributed systems? Citadel is adding an Enterprise Architect skilled in Change Management to the technology team. A $93,000 - $133,000 temporary role for a mid-level professional ready to own deliverables and grow within a high-trust team.

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
• Defend Citadel uptime through the 2 a.m. Evanston pages nobody volunteers for
• Mentor newer mid-level hires on how Citadel actually wires Spring Boot together
• Ship GraphQL fixes to Citadel customers in Evanston, IL the same day they report them
• Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale

What You'll Bring

• A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
• Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment
• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
• The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
• Comfort with a Citadel pace that rarely sits still

Founded by engineers who believe small teams ship great software, Citadel now serves customers across the country from its Evanston, IL office. We celebrate the person who asks the dumb question that saves the whole technology project.

We anchor everything in $93,000 - $133,000, then add mentorship, benefits, and the freedom to flex your temporary schedule around real life.

The search for a mid-level Enterprise Architect is in full swing, and we want to fill it soon.

If you've read this far, you're probably the thoughtfully-bold kind of candidate we want, so apply.
