Technical Lead & Architect

Revival Group AI · revivalgroup.ai/careers

Revival Group AI is an AI consulting firm that embeds as the technology function inside the organizations we serve. We've taken on a 12-month engagement to act as the embedded IT & Technology Desk for a faith-based nonprofit scaling from a single-county, ~16-person operation toward a national footprint. The client is moving from a person-dependent, tool-fragmented operation to a system-based, data-driven one.

The work is to design, build, and operate a unified, multi-tenant platform spanning the client's functional areas — program management, volunteer/community management, donor CRM & fundraising, operations, finance & compliance, an AI agent layer, knowledge base, multi-modal data ingestion, and a graph-style data model connecting programs, people, donors, and geographies. Delivery is milestone-gated across phases, with the heaviest load during the initial foundation/build sprint.

Both roles operate under Revival Group AI as independent contractors (1099). Standard confidentiality and NDA apply — the client's organizational, financial, and constituent data is held in strict confidence.

Fractional Technical Lead & Architect (Contract)

Engagement type: Independent contractor · Part-time / fractional · 12-month term

‍Location: Remote · Must be available for client operating cadence (Pacific business hours)

​

About the role

You are the technology owner for this engagement. You set the architecture, make the build-vs-buy calls, manage the relationship at the leadership level, and direct the engineer(s) who execute. You won't be writing the bulk of the code — your job is to make sure the right thing gets built, in the right order, on an architecture that scales from 16 users to national scale without re-platforming.

​

What you'll do

• Serve as the client's senior technology voice across strategic and operational decisions
• Own the full technology architecture: current state, build roadmap, scale trajectory, and the entity/data model
• Select and document the technology stack with rationale; make native-vs-custom build decisions per module
• Establish the data governance framework: ownership, access controls, audit trail, versioning, data portability
• Attend and contribute to the client's Monthly Operating Reviews alongside other functional leads
• Evaluate, select, and manage technology vendors and tooling on the client's behalf
• Provide technology input on expansion planning, go/no-go decisions, privacy, security, and compliance posture
• Define the build plan and direct the Full-Stack Platform Engineer; review their work and own quality and delivery
• Maintain the IT Desk knowledge base and field technology questions from leadership, staff, and board

​

What we're looking for

Required

• 10+ years in technology with senior leadership experience (CTO, VP Engineering, Principal/Staff Engineer, or technical founder)
• Track record architecting multi-tenant, API-first platforms that scaled by orders of magnitude
• Strong data modeling judgment — you can design a graph-style model with typed, time-bound relationships
• Executive-level stakeholder management; can sit in a leadership review and translate between business and technical
• Experience directing engineers and owning delivery, not just advising
• Self-directed; comfortable as an embedded fractional resource without supervision

Strong pluses

• Nonprofit, mission-driven, or resource-constrained operating experience
• Familiarity with CRM, fund accounting, grants, or donor/fundraising systems
• AI/LLM architecture experience (agents, automation, transcription/translation pipelines)
