We are on a mission to become the leading international force in residential property management. What we do matters to billions of people in their everyday lives.
Residential real estate is the world’s largest asset class, and for most families, buying a home is the single biggest financial decision they will ever make. For too long, residential property management has fallen short of homeowners' and residents' expectations, and the industry is ready for change. Odevo was formed to make that change happen.
In just six years, Odevo has grown more than 70-fold, establishing us as the leading international player. We are more than 12,000 people across the US, the UK, the Nordics, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and Italy building Odevo. Together, we aspire to break new ground through innovation and cultivate a workplace where we help each other succeed, where ideas matter more than titles, and where kindness is a strength.
By combining the power of people and technology, we set a new standard for how homes are managed. Our technology-enabled services simplify living for residents and create a better experience for property owners and boards.
Our ambition is to continue our fast-growing journey through new customers, service expansion, and by partnering with great companies that share our mindset and ambition, both in existing and new markets.
As we continue to grow, we stay true to who we are, challenge unnecessary bureaucracy, and keep decision-making close to our customers.
If you share our mindset and ambition, we’d love you to join us and help accelerate our mission together.
We are looking for an Application Architect to play a pivotal role across Odevo’s UK technology teams. This is a hands-on, collaborative architecture role - not an ivory tower position. You will work directly with development teams across our UK brands and OpCos, helping them build the right things in the right way.
Your focus will be application architecture: the design, structure, and evolution of the software systems our teams build and operate. You will own the architecture standards and patterns that ensure our applications are consistent, reusable, scalable, and maintainable as Odevo continues to grow through organic development and acquisition.
A significant and growing part of this role is shaping how Odevo integrates AI and Agentic AI capabilities into our products. We are actively building AI-augmented features and Agentic workflows, and you will be central to defining the architectural patterns that make this safe, scalable, and impactful.
You will report to the Head of Architecture and work in close partnership with UK engineering leads, product teams, and your fellow architects across the Odevo group.
Key Responsibilities
- Define, maintain, and evolve architecture standards and patterns for Odevo’s UK brands and OpCos, balancing consistency with team autonomy.
- Support and contribute to the architecture decision record (ADR) framework to ensure key design decisions are documented and accessible.
- Create and update reference architectures and shared pattern libraries covering API design, data access, integration, security, observability, and AI integration.
- Lead architecture reviews for new products, major features, and significant changes, providing structured and constructive feedback.
- Identify and address architectural drift and technical debt, prioritising remediation with engineering leads and product owners.
- Own the architecture for AI and Agentic AI capabilities, setting patterns, guardrails, and reference implementations for teams across the UK, evaluating tools, producing standards including prompt engineering, RAG architectures and good AI practices.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to design and review Agentic AI workflows within Odevo applications, staying up to date on AI/ML and Agentic AI developments and translating new capabilities into actionable architectural guidance.
- Promote reuse, shared services, and reduced duplication across UK brands and OpCos, supporting common platform capabilities.
- Represent UK architecture in group-wide discussions, contributing to and leveraging international architecture decisions as well as supporting UK M&A due diligence.
Who You Are:
You are a thoughtful, pragmatic architect who has grown from a strong engineering background. You care about the quality of what gets built, and you know that the best architectures emerge from close collaboration with the teams who build and maintain them - not from documents written in isolation.
You are energised by the challenge of working across multiple teams and codebases, finding the patterns that can be shared, the duplication that can be eliminated, and the decisions that need to be made consistently to keep a portfolio of applications coherent and manageable.
You are comfortable working in ambiguity and across heterogeneous environments, with a clear-eyed understanding of the realities of supporting legacy systems while helping shape greenfield development.
You are genuinely excited about AI — not as a buzzword, but as a practical capability that is changing what software can do and how it is built. You are already thinking about how LLMs, Agentic AI patterns, and AI-augmented development fit into real production architectures. You are motivated by the opportunity to push the possibilities of AI in engineering and architecture in ways that drive real business value.
You are a strong communicator who can explain complex architectural decisions clearly to developers, product managers, and senior stakeholders alike. You influence through expertise and trust, not authority. You are also skilled at stakeholder management, able to build trust and influence across engineering teams, product management, and senior leadership.
Experience:
- Proven experience as an Application Architect, Software Architect, or tech focused solution Architect - ideally in a multi-product or portfolio environment.
- Deep understanding of application architecture patterns: microservices, event-driven architecture, API-first design, domain-driven design (DDD), and CQRS/event sourcing.
- Practical experience integrating AI/ML capabilities into production applications, including LLM APIs (Azure OpenAI, OpenAI), RAG architectures, prompt engineering, and output validation.
- Experience with or strong working knowledge of Agentic AI frameworks and patterns (Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, or equivalent), and how they compose with existing application architectures.
- Experience integrating or productising tools built by non-developers using one of the vibe-coding tools or AI IDEs (Lovale, v0, Replit, Cursor, Antigravity, Claude Code etc).
- Strong cloud architecture skills, primarily on Microsoft Azure (App Services, Azure Functions, Azure Service Bus, Azure OpenAI, Azure API Management), with familiarity with AWS.
- Proficiency in the .NET / C# ecosystem and ability to engage meaningfully at the code level when architectural decisions require it.
- Ability to define and maintain architecture documentation that teams actually use: ADRs, C4 model diagrams, integration maps, and pattern guides.
- Experience working in agile or FLOW environments using Azure DevOps, Jira, GitHub and equivalent tooling.
- Familiarity with legacy modernisation challenges, including working with or migrating from tech stacks such as PHP to .NET or TS
Desirable Skills and Experience:
- Experience in property management, real estate, or PropTech software.
- Familiarity with legacy modernisation challenges, including working with or migrating from tech stacks such as PHP to .NET or TS
- Experience supporting technical due diligence and architecture assessment during M&A activity.
- Formal architecture certifications: TOGAF, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, AWS Solutions Architect, or equivalent.
- Experience with event streaming platforms such as Apache Kafka or Azure Event Hubs.
- Familiarity with multi-tenancy architecture patterns relevant to SaaS property management platforms.
