The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Knight Frank is hiring a Solutions Architect in Topeka, KS.

• Role description

  We're hiring a Solutions Architect for the unglamorous, essential work of making TypeScript fast enough that nobody notices it at all. This Solutions Architect role hands senior talent $77,000 - $103,000, a temporary arrangement in KS, and the latitude to call the shots.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Drive the Ruby incident postmortem that stops the Topeka outage from recurring
  • Pair with technology analysts so Knight Frank's Redis models match real behavior
  • Own the Tailwind CSS release that Topeka leadership has circled on the calendar
  • Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
  • Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
  • Trim Knight Frank's cloud bill by right-sizing the Redis infrastructure in Topeka, KS
  • Configure and manage infrastructure as code across staging and production
  • Build the customer-centric Redis feature that wins back the KS accounts Knight Frank lost

  What You'll Bring

  • A knack for AWS that colleagues quietly come to rely on
  • Comfort steering technology conversations toward a decision
  • A portfolio that speaks louder than any line on your resume
  • The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
  • The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, purpose-soaked environment

  Ask anyone in Topeka about Knight Frank and you'll hear the same thing: a community-minded crew that ships fast and sweats the Prioritization details. Expect a culture where curiosity is rewarded and asking "why" is never seen as a challenge.

  Expect $77,000 - $103,000, a hybrid Topeka office, generous PTO, and leaders who treat your development as a real priority.

  We are prioritizing Tailwind CSS talent right now and reviewing resumes as they arrive.
