The Council of Architects

You've Built It.
Now Standardize It.

Join the exclusive board of founding Principal Engineers. Elite evaluators, not helpers. You set the bar — we enforce it.

Your Role: Expert Evaluator

Clear boundaries. No ambiguity.

What You DO

  • Evaluate architectural decisions & trade-offs
  • Judge production-readiness & decision quality
  • Issue verdict — "Senior Ready" or "Not Ready"
  • Set standards that define industry benchmarks

What You DON'T Do

  • No full-time mentoring or hand-holding
  • No tech support or debugging help
  • No syntax reviews or code formatting
  • No teaching basics to beginners

You review strategy, not syntax. You judge architecture, not implementation details.

What's In It For You?

Let's be honest. Here are the real reasons senior engineers join:

Authority

Recognized as Cloud Architecture Reviewer. Not a helper. Not support. You are the evaluation standard.

Professional status signal

Control

You decide when and what to review. Fully async. No meetings. No personal SLA. Review on your schedule.

Complete flexibility

Leverage

Proof of judgment. Positioning as expert evaluator. Seniority signal for consulting, advisory, and leadership roles.

Career positioning boost

Translation: You set standards, control your time, and build recognized expertise.

No empty promises. Just positioning and authority.

The Problem with "Seniors"

The industry is flooded with "paper architects" who pass multiple-choice exams but can't configure a VPC.

We are building the antidote: A proof-of-work hiring platform vetted by actual builders, not recruiters.

Shape the Standard

Your feedback defines the industry benchmark. You establish the criteria that every aspiring Cloud Architect must meet.

Time Commitment: Full Transparency

We respect that you're busy shipping critical systems. Here's exactly how it works.

Fully Flexible

Review when you want

100% Async

No meetings, no calls

You Control

Set your capacity

Pre-filtered

Only quality work

1. Automated Integrity Checks

You never see incomplete work. Our system validates that all required artifacts—whether Diagrams, Spreadsheets, or Code—are properly formatted and passed our baseline quality filters.

2. Strategy & Logic Review

Forget syntax nitpicks. You judge the Decision Quality. Did they choose the right database for the access pattern? Is the disaster recovery plan realistic for the budget?

3. The Verdict

You issue a "Senior Verified" or "Not Ready" stamp. Your feedback is the final quality gate that separates a Junior implementation from a Senior architecture.
