Software Architect

Role Overview

• Translate business and functional requirements into end to end architectural solutions.
• Design scalable, secure, and maintainable architectures for backend services, APIs, web, and integration platforms.
• Define and enforce architectural standards, best practices, and coding guidelines across projects.
• Own and document architectural decisions, including trade offs, risks, and mitigation strategies.
• Select appropriate technologies and frameworks aligned with long ‑ term platform and integration strategy.
• Produce and maintain comprehensive technical design documentation , including solution blueprints, high ‑ level and low ‑ level architecture diagrams, sequence diagrams, and end ‑ to ‑ end design workflows.
• Ensure architecture documentation clearly communicates system interactions and integration flows to both technical and non ‑ technical stakeholders.
• Lead the design of system to system integrations , including RESTful APIs, event driven and asynchronous patterns.
• Define integration strategies addressing performance, reliability, scalability, and security.
• Ensure versioning, backward compatibility, and lifecycle management of APIs and integrations.
• Design and implement event ‑ driven and message ‑ based architectures to support loosely coupled and resilient systems.
• Leverage messaging and streaming platforms such as Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, and cloud ‑ managed queue services (e.g., Amazon SQS) where appropriate.
• Define and ensure compliance with non functional requirements (performance, availability, resilience, observability).
• Embed security by design principles, including authentication, authorization, data protection, and encryption.
• Collaborate with QA and security teams to ensure system stability, risk mitigation, and production readiness.
• Provide architectural oversight throughout the development lifecycle, proactively identifying and addressing technical risks.
• Participate in technical reviews and governance forums to ensure consistency with enterprise standards.
• Support project planning by contributing to technical roadmaps, milestones, and feasibility assessments.
• Act as the primary technical liaison between engineering teams, product owners, and business stakeholders.
• Clearly communicate architectural concepts and decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Facilitate collaboration across cross functional and geographically distributed teams.
• Mentor developers and engineers on architecture, design principles, and emerging technologies.
• Conduct training sessions and knowledge sharing workshops.
• Identify opportunities for innovation, modernization, and continuous process improvement.
• Define and promote container based architectures to ensure portability, consistency, and efficient application delivery.
• Design and guide container orchestration strategies using platforms such as Kubernetes to support scalability, resilience, and automated deployments.
• Collaborate closely with DevOps and cloud teams to ensure containerized solutions meet operational, security, and reliability standards.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science , Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 6 + years of experience building enterprise grade software systems.

• Experience with microservices architectures , REST APIs, GraphQL , and WebSockets .
• Solid understanding of authentication and security mechanisms (OAuth2, JWT, SSO).
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and cloud native design patterns.
• Knowledge of DevOps practices , including CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment strategies.
• Hands on experience with SQL and NoSQL databases , including schema design and performance optimization.
• Hands ‑ on experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes in production environments.
• Experience designing and supporting event ‑ driven systems using distributed messaging and queueing technologies (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Amazon SQS, or equivalent).
