About the Role:
As a member of the Product and Engineering team at PitchBook, you will be part of a team of big thinkers, innovators, and problem solvers who strive to deepen the positive impact we have on our customers and our company every day. We value curiosity and the drive to find better ways of doing things. We thrive on customer empathy, which remains our focus when creating excellent customer experiences through product innovation.
We know that greatness is achieved through collaboration and diverse points of view, so we work closely with partners around the globe. As a team, we assume positive intent in each other’s words and actions, value constructive discussions, and foster a respectful working environment built on integrity, growth, and business value. We invest heavily in our people, who are eager to learn and constantly improve. Join our team and grow with us!
As a Staff Software Architect within the Product organization, you will be responsible for architecting and delivering the next suite of services that power the PitchBook platform. You will be essential in guiding one or more technical teams to build exceptional solutions relied upon and used by thousands of PitchBook customers every day and work with PitchBook professionals around the world with the collective goal of delighting our customers and growing our business.
The team will rely on your broad and deep experience in building and delivering comprehensive cloud solutions and full understanding of the team’s business domain to shape principles and practices and capture just-in-time decisions based on trade-off analysis. With your strong analytical skills, you’ll be able to break down abstract and complex problems into smaller problems and apply Domain Driven Design approaches such as identifying bounded contexts and establishing a decomposition process. You will be expected to devise solutions based on limited information and precedent to find creative ways to tackle challenges. It is essential that you will be able to interpret, assess, and resolve a wide range of issues and be able to select the right course of action.
You will collaborate with external and internal stakeholders of different roles and backgrounds and who may have varying degrees of understanding of the domain. You may need to adapt your style of communication based on the audience you are interacting with and will be relied on to influence decisions to build optimal solutions to complex challenges. Additionally, as a technical expert in a broad set of domains, you will be expected to engage actively in promoting architecture guidelines, principles, and practices across team(s) and be a driver for consistency and alignment for cross cutting concerns using influence and effective communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Lastly, you exhibit a growth mindset, are willing to solicit feedback, engage others with empathy, and help create a culture of belonging, teamwork, and purpose. If you love building customer-centric solutions, strive for excellence every day, are adaptable and focused, and believe work should be fun, come join us!

At the heart of our company is a belief in the power of in-person collaboration. Being together in the office fuels our creativity, strengthens our connections, and drives the innovation that sets us apart. Our culture is built on spontaneous moments—those hallway conversations, whiteboard brainstorms, and shared celebrations in each of our global offices—that simply can’t be replicated remotely. This role is expected to be in the office 5 days a week.
The job conditions for this position are in a standard office setting. Employees in this position use PC and phone on an on-going basis throughout the day. Limited corporate travel may be required to remote offices or other business meetings and events.
We are excited to get to know you and your background. Concerned that you might not meet every requirement? We encourage you to still apply as you might be the right candidate for the role or other roles at PitchBook.
