What You Get
The Pod Architect is the technical spine of every engagement. They own the system design, enforce code quality standards, and make the architectural decisions that determine whether your product scales or stalls. Every architect operates within our governance framework — they produce Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), run code reviews against documented quality gates, and maintain schema-code alignment across the entire stack. They are not a consultant who hands you a diagram and leaves. They ship code, review every PR, and are accountable for the structural integrity of everything the pod delivers.
