We are seeking a Software Architect with 8+ years of total experience, including at least 3 years in an architecture-focused role. The right candidate will have a proven track record in designing scalable, cloud-native systems, and leading engineering teams through complex solution architecture initiatives.

This is a strategic, hands-on role responsible for setting the technical vision, crafting robust system designs, and ensuring seamless implementation of distributed software systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the architecture and design of robust, scalable, and maintainable software systems across diverse technology stacks and business domains.
• Define and document system-level and service-level architecture in collaboration with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders.
• Establish and promote best practices for modular architecture, scalability, fault tolerance, and system observability.
• Drive architectural decisions from concept to deployment, ensuring performance, reliability, and technical quality.
• Create reusable frameworks, components, and architectural templates to accelerate development and promote consistency.
• Provide architectural guidance and mentorship to engineering teams on design patterns, trade-offs, and system structuring.
• Conduct architecture reviews, technical audits, and lead cross-functional planning discussions.
• Collaborate closely with DevOps and infrastructure teams to align system design with deployment, monitoring, and operational requirements.
• Continuously evaluate and recommend new tools, technologies, and frameworks to enhance engineering productivity and platform capabilities.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in full stack development using modern backend languages (e.g., Node.js, Java, Python, .NET) and frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue).
• Strong knowledge of microservices architecture, domain-driven design (DDD), and event-driven systems.
• Deep understanding of REST APIs, Object-Oriented Analysis & Design (OOAD), design and architecture patterns, and TDD.
• Proven experience with cloud-native technologies (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including both IaaS and PaaS offerings.
• Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, DevOps automation, and infrastructure as code.
• Proficiency with distributed messaging systems (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ), caching technologies (e.g., Redis), and search platforms (e.g., Elasticsearch).
• Solid understanding of relational, NoSQL, and time-series databases.
• Experience designing for high-availability, monitoring, and instrumentation using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK stack.
• Awareness of modern frontend frameworks (React, Angular) and mobile architecture is a plus.

Must Have

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum 8 years of total experience, with 3+ years as a software architect or in a senior engineering role leading architecture effort.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with a proven ability to resolve complex technical challenges.
• Ability to drive system-level design conversations and clearly articulate architectural trade-offs.
• Skilled at working cross-functionally and influencing without authority.
• Passionate about learning and staying up to date with evolving technologies and best practices.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills to collaborate effectively with distributed teams and stakeholders.
