Description
Master Architect (VP of Architecture)
– Equity Partner –
Location:<br/><br/>Remote
Jurisdiction:<br/><br/>Global (Must be eligible to work in USA/Canada)
Minimum Commitment:<br/><br/>20 hours per week
Core Function:<br/><br/>Systems Architecture & Technical Leadership
Department:<br/><br/>TechCore – Technology Development
Reports To:<br/><br/>Chief Technology Officer (CTO)<br/><br/>This is not a job. It’s a stake in the spine of a new ecosystem.
What You Put In Is What You Get Out
This is a founder-level architecture and systems leadership role. As Master Architect, you don’t just shape the infrastructure—you encode the logic, resilience, and elegance of the entire technology ecosystem supporting Anime Universe.
Minimum commitment: 20 hours/week.<br/><br/>If that’s not feasible, we completely understand—but this isn’t the right role for now.
This is an equity partner role. That means:
No upfront cash compensation
Equity (shares) at founding partner level (standard vesting)
Future token-based rewards (pending legal clearance)
Salary activates with revenue-based milestones
Remote-first, async-native, deep-focus engineering culture<br/><br/>Let’s Be Absolutely Clear
This isn’t a support engineer role.
This isn’t a patch-and-maintain job.
You are the systems mind. The architectural guardian. The blueprint master.
Your work will define how infrastructure scales, how components talk, how value flows, and how future layers plug in.
You will help shape the core technology foundation for creators, communities, and cross-disciplinary teams.<br/><br/>Overview
We’re recruiting a Master Architect to serve as the<br/><br/>foundational systems designer<br/><br/>and<br/><br/>technical synthesizer<br/><br/>for Anime Universe’s core platform. You’ll own the design and direction of a multi-layered technology stack—spanning<br/><br/>cloud-native systems, real-time infrastructure, data orchestration, and monetization architecture .<br/><br/>This is a<br/><br/>VP-level role<br/><br/>for someone who has architected large-scale, future-resilient systems across industries. You are viewed by peers as a<br/><br/>Master Architect —the person others call when structure, strategy, and scale must align.
You don’t just connect pieces—you define the logic that governs how everything functions and evolves.<br/><br/>This is your seat at the high table of technology creation, working side-by-side with the CTO to transform ideas into scalable, elegant systems.<br/><br/>What You’ll Own
System Architecture Leadership
Design first-principles architecture across platform services and user-facing applications
Unify logic and structure across infrastructure, tooling, and deployment environments
Blueprint Development
Author executable architecture documents for internal platforms, developer tools, and content delivery systems
Ensure systems are<br/><br/>scalable, modular, and evolution-ready
Integrity & Modularity
Architect modular stack layers that balance adaptability with performance
Maintain cross-domain system cohesion and interface consistency
Standards & Validation
Validate frameworks against technical excellence standards and internal benchmarks
Continuously refine to meet quality, performance, and maintainability thresholds
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Partner with engineers, product teams, data leads, and content tech stakeholders
Align diverse teams under one architectural vision while enabling domain autonomy<br/><br/>What We’re Looking For
Experience & Leadership
15+ years of experience<br/><br/>in technical architecture across cloud, platform, infrastructure, or enterprise systems
You’ve held senior technical leadership roles (e.g.<br/><br/>Principal Architect, VP of Engineering, or Chief Architect ) and built high-impact systems at scale
Technical Fluency
Deep experience in<br/><br/>cloud services, backend architecture, API design, and orchestration pipelines
You navigate across infrastructure, protocols, and platform systems with clarity
System Thinking
High-agency thinker who anticipates long-term complexity and system evolution
You design for<br/><br/>sustainability, performance, and composability
Next-Gen Paradigm Fluency
Familiarity with emerging models (e.g., tokenized logic, distributed computation, adaptive runtimes)
You understand how infrastructure can power new forms of digital value, interaction, and creativity
Vision Alignment
You architect with purpose—balancing what’s needed now with what’s inevitable next
You design with the confidence of an engineer and the foresight of a strategist<br/><br/>Compensation
Equity (Shares):<br/><br/>Founding partner-level equity
Token-Based Rewards:<br/><br/>Future layer pending legal review
Future Salary:<br/><br/>Activates with major revenue/funding milestones
Remote First:<br/><br/>Fully distributed, async-native, autonomy-respecting team<br/><br/>Our Promise
You won’t just build systems. You’ll<br/><br/>shape the backbone<br/><br/>of the Anime Universe platform.
Your fingerprints will be on every tool, every layer, every user interaction and developer workflow. If you’ve been waiting to architect something that defines how creators build, collaborate, and scale— this is your moment.<br/><br/>
