AI at Cvent: Leading the Future

Are you ready to shape the future of work at the intersection of human expertise and AI innovation? At Cvent, we’re committed to continuous learning and adaptation—AI isn’t just a tool for us, it’s part of our DNA. We’re looking for candidates who are eager to evolve alongside technology. If you love to experiment boldly, share your discoveries, and help define best practices for AI-augmented work, you’ll thrive here. Our team values professionals who thoughtfully integrate AI into their daily work, delivering exceptional results while relying on the human judgment and creativity that drive real innovation.

Throughout our interview process, you’ll have the chance to demonstrate how you use AI to learn, iterate, and amplify your impact. If you’re excited to be part of a team that’s leading the way in AI-powered collaboration, we’d love to meet you.

We’re looking for a hands-on Software Architect with strong experience building distributed systems in enterprise SaaS environments. This role is ideal for a senior engineer/architect who is passionate about shaping modern engineering practices, improving architectural foundations, and driving change across the SDLC. While the focus of this role is to improve security across Cvent’s platform, we are specifically seeking an architect who thinks and operates like a product-minded developer, not a traditional security specialist.

In This Role, You Will:

• Shape and lead a company-wide engineering guild focused on secure-by-default practices, modern SDLC patterns, and architectural consistency across Cvent’s SaaS platforms.
• Design and build developer-centric frameworks, libraries, and automation that improve system reliability, maintainability, and security—without slowing delivery.
• Work hands-on in code (Java, TypeScript, IaC) to create reusable components, integration patterns, and platform building blocks used across engineering teams.
• Enhance CI/CD pipelines with guardrails, automated checks, and feedback loops that improve code quality, reduce vulnerabilities, and streamline developer workflows.
• Partner with product, platform, and cloud engineering teams to evolve architecture standards, ensuring distributed systems are scalable, observable, and resilient.
• Lead design reviews and provide architectural guidance across services, APIs, storage systems, and cloud infrastructure, helping teams make high-quality technical decisions.
• Introduce modern engineering patterns and tooling, including AI-assisted static analysis, automated detection systems, and secure-by-default scaffolding.
• Build documentation, best practices, and training materials that raise engineering excellence and empower developers to own security as part of system design.
• Collaborate with external partners and vendors to evaluate new technologies and integrate capabilities into platform workflows.
• Mentor engineers and influence engineering culture, promoting craftsmanship, simplicity, and scalable design across the stack.
• Help guide long-term architectural strategy, adapting secure development practices to new technologies and emerging patterns (e.g., AI systems, microservices evolution, event-driven architectures).

Here's What You Need:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 10+ years of experience building and architecting distributed systems for enterprise or large-scale SaaS platforms.
• Strong hands-on coding experience with Java, TypeScript, cloud-native services, and infrastructure-as-code (CDK, CloudFormation, Terraform, etc.).
• Deep understanding of system design, data structures, algorithms, networking, caching, and persistence technologies.
• Experience designing and implementing automation in CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.).
• Demonstrated ability to modernize engineering practices across multiple teams through frameworks, tooling, and shared architectural patterns.
• Familiarity with foundational security engineering principles—secure coding, service hardening, identity and access models, threat considerations—even if not in a security-only role.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence engineers, product teams, and leadership.
• A track record of solving complex problems, driving change, and mentoring engineers through architectural decisions.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience improving security posture in a large-scale distributed SaaS environment.
• Hands-on knowledge of AWS architecture (IAM, KMS, networking, load balancing, etc.).
• Understanding of compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, etc.) and how engineering teams build systems that meet those requirements.
• Experience with threat modeling, design reviews, and platform-level security patterns.
• Ability to make long-term architectural decisions (4–10 years) aligned with platform and business strategy.
• Experience evaluating technologies, running POCs, or leading due diligence during acquisitions.
• Experience presenting technical topics to engineering organizations or external audiences.

Join Cvent as a Software Architect and help shape the next generation of our secure, scalable, developer-friendly SaaS platform. If you’re a hands-on builder who loves improving systems, influencing engineering culture, and embedding secure-by-default patterns across distributed architectures, we’d love to meet you.
