Its 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 dont just shape the infrastructureyou encode the logic, resilience, and elegance of the entire technology ecosystem supporting Anime Universe. Minimum commitment: 20 hours/week. If thats not feasible, we completely understandbut this isnt the right role for now. This is an equity partner role.

This isnt 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. Overview Were recruiting a Master Architect to serve as the foundational systems designer and technical synthesizer for Anime Universes core platform.

This is a VP-level role for someone who has architected large-scale, future-resilient systems across industries. You are viewed by peers as a Master Architect the person others call when structure, strategy, and scale must align. You dont just connect piecesyou define the logic that governs how everything functions and evolves. 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.
