Senior Technical Architect

Oakland, CA - Hybrid

19 months Contract

HYBRID. Once a month cadence at a minimum at OGO. The typical schedule will be one day per month in person, but additional in-person meetings may occur according to business need.

This person can be out of state, but must be available to come in person to the Oakland office as needed, sometimes on relatively short notice (e.g. 1 week notice) at their own expense.

Client laptop will be provided. However, in the event of major delays, please ensure to have a laptop loaner or confirm that the hire is willing to use personal device. For out of state hire, ensure to have own personal device ready.

Position Summary:

The Technology Lead will support Amplify's evolution from manual pilot to scaled platform by building automations that enable the team to operate efficiently today while collaborating with Client to implement the automated platform for tomorrow.

In the near term, you'll rapidly prototype and implement automations using low-code and no-code tools to support the manual pilot program—a concierge-guided experience helping customers through EV selection, home assessment, and charger installation. You'll build workflows, integrations, and AI-enhanced tools that allow the Amplify team to deliver personalized support at pilot scale.

As the product demonstrates value and readiness to scale, you'll transition to working closely with Client IT and external development vendors as a technical advisor and bridge, helping translate product requirements and operational learnings into specifications for an automated customer‑facing platform that can serve customers across Client's service area.

As part of the Amplify venture team, you'll work in a fast‑paced, startup‑like environment within Client, moving quickly from idea to implementation while building toward enterprise scale.
