The Impact You Will Make
Risepoint is building our Student Journey Platform, a multi-component AI platform spanning real-time orchestration, machine learning model serving, event-driven workflow execution, and a student intelligence layer operating across 10+ university partner environments. The role will lead the technical direction for platform architecture within the engineering team: a Cadence Engine supporting durable stateful student engagement workflows; real-time AI-mediated communication endpoints across web chat, phone AI, and SMS AI with sub-second latency requirements; ML model serving infrastructure for propensity scoring and lead prioritization at scale; multi-tenant Kubernetes cluster architecture across partner deployments with distinct compliance and data isolation requirements; and a speech analytics pipeline processing call transcript data at volume. This is an architect-level role in scope and accountability charged with setting technical direction, defining the standards engineering teams build against, and keeping the platform ahead of Risepoint’s growth curve.
