Description
Are you ready to transform legacy software through AI, not just patch it? As a Principal Software Architect at Trilogy, you'll lead the revolution against enterprise software complexity, making strategic decisions that reshape entire products and business models.

- Managing teams or focusing primarily on people leadership; your value comes from technical and business expertise
- Participating in bureaucratic processes or excessive meetings; our streamlined environment eliminates administrative overhead
