OTR Solutions is an innovator in the transportation industry providing a suite of factoring, fuel, and business management focused solutions. We help new and established companies get fast access to the funds they need for daily operations. As a Private Equity backed FinTech company, we are looking to grow our best-in-class financial organization and the cloud-native platform that powers it.

OTR has been recognized as a “Top Workplace” by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution since 2016!

We are seeking a Solution Architect to own the technical direction of our Broker Services products. Today, OTR serves freight brokers through five separately built products: Epay Manager, OTR Select, TruckSmarter, Apollo, and OTR Audit. You will define and drive the roadmap that consolidates these products into a single Broker Services platform: one data model, one set of services, one experience for our broker customers and the internal teams who support them.

This is a hands-on architecture role. You will work alongside Product, Engineering, and Broker Services leadership to decide what the target platform looks like, sequence the migration so that customers never lose capability along the way, and guide engineering teams through delivery. You will be the person who can explain the whole system on a whiteboard, defend the tradeoffs, and tell us what to build next.

Please note: We do not sponsor work-related visas.** 

Responsibilities:

• Own the Broker Services platform roadmap: define the target architecture, the sequence of consolidation phases, and the criteria that gate each phase, and keep it current as the business learns.
• Inventory the existing Broker Services products and the systems behind them (data stores, integrations, workflows, reporting) and produce a clear picture of overlap, gaps, and dependencies.
• Design the unified platform: domain and data model, service boundaries, API contracts, identity and permissions, and the integration points with factoring, payments, and carrier-facing systems.
• Plan and lead product migrations so brokers, carriers, and internal operations teams keep working without interruption, including data migration, dual-running, and cutover strategies.
• Partner with Product and Broker Services leadership to translate customer and operational needs into platform capabilities and to prioritize the roadmap against business value and risk.
• Guide engineering teams through delivery: write and review architecture decision records, set technical standards, review designs and critical code paths, and unblock teams when they hit hard problems.
• Establish the non-functional baseline for the platform: reliability, observability, performance, security, and cost, and make sure every phase meets it before it ships.
• Communicate the plan and its progress to executives and stakeholders in plain language, including tradeoffs, timelines, and what each phase retires.
• Mentor senior engineers and raise the architectural bar across the Technology organization.

What We Look For:

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 5+ years in an architect or technical lead role responsible for the design of multi-team systems.
• A track record of consolidating or re-platforming overlapping products into a single platform, including the migration strategy and the cutover, not just the target-state design.
• Deep experience with C#/.NET (ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework) and SQL Server, and the judgment to know when to keep, refactor, or replace what exists.
• Strong command of cloud-native architecture on Azure or AWS: service decomposition, messaging and event-driven patterns, API design, identity, and infrastructure as code.
• Experience designing data models and data migrations for financial or transactional systems where accuracy and auditability matter.
• Ability to build and own a roadmap: break a large program into phases, set measurable exit criteria, estimate honestly, and adjust as facts change.
• Excellent written and verbal communication with executives, product managers, operations teams, and engineers, including the ability to make tradeoffs legible to non-technical stakeholders.
• Hands-on enough to prototype, review critical code, and debug production issues alongside the team.

Preferred

• Experience in freight, logistics, or FinTech, especially with freight brokerage, factoring, payments, or carrier onboarding workflows.
• Familiarity with React and TypeScript front ends and with modern CI/CD, automated testing, and observability tooling.
• Experience integrating third-party APIs such as payments, banking, credit, or load-board and TMS providers.
• Experience in a private-equity-backed or high-growth company where the platform has to scale ahead of the business.
