Software Architect

Description:

About the role

We are looking for a hands-on, customer-facing Software Architect to own end-to-end solution design for our clients, across AWS, Google Cloud, Azure and on-premises environments.

You will sit between the customer and the delivery teams. You will translate business needs into robust distributed architectures, lead technical discussions with customer stakeholders, and work closely with infrastructure, cloud and data architects to deliver solutions that scale.

Key responsibilities

• Lead technical discovery with customers: gather requirements, map business goals to architecture, and present solution options and trade-offs to technical and executive audiences.
• Design end-to-end solutions on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, on-premises and hybrid environments.
• Define the architecture of distributed systems, including service boundaries, integration, scalability, resilience, security and observability.
• Select and apply the right architecture patterns, such as microservices, event-driven, CQRS, serverless, layered and hexagonal.
• Partner with Cloud and On-prem Solution Architects on infrastructure, networking, compute, storage and deployment topology.
• Partner with Data Architects on data models, storage choices, data flows, integration and governance.
• Produce architecture deliverables: HLD/LLD documents, diagrams, ADRs, technical proposals and effort estimates.
• Support pre-sale activities, including RFP/tender responses, solution presentations and proofs of concept.
• Guide development teams through implementation, review designs and code, andensure delivery matches the agreed architecture.
• Evaluate new technologies and promote best practices and reusable referencearchitectures across R&D.

Requirements

• 10+ years in software development, including at least 4 years in an architect role.
• Hands-on background in several of the following languages and their ecosystems, with the ability to guide teams across all of them: Python, Node.js, Java, C#.
• proven customer-facing experience, including work with global and international customers across time zones and cultures: running workshops, presenting to technical and executive stakeholders, and leading technical discussions and solution decisions with clients.
• Proven experience designing and building distributed systems and solutions based oncustomer needs, from concept to production.
• Hands-on experience with all three leading clouds: AWS, Google Cloud and Azure.
• Experience designing and delivering solutions in on-premises environments, includinghybrid cloud/on-prem setups.
• Deep understanding of architecture patterns (microservices, event-driven, messaging,API design, caching, resilience and security patterns) and when to apply each.
• Solid infrastructure knowledge (networking, containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC) sufficient to work as a peer with Cloud and On-prem Solution Architects.
• Strong data design experience (relational and NoSQL modeling, data flows, streaming,integration) sufficient to work as a peer with Data Architects.
• B.Sc. in Computer Science, Software Engineering or equivalent experience.

Big advantages

• IoT solutions: device connectivity, edge computing, protocols such as MQTT, and platforms such as AWS IoT Core or Azure IoT Hub.
• ETL and data pipelines: batch and streaming pipelines, data lakes and warehouses, tools such as Kafka, Spark, Airflow, Glue or Data Factory.
• AI solutions: designing ML and GenAI architectures, LLM integration, RAG, MLOps and model serving in production.
• Front-end architecture: SPA and micro-frontend patterns, state management, BFF and SSR, with frameworks such as React or Angular.
• Mobile architecture: native and cross-platform patterns (e.g., React Native, Flutter),offline-first design, sync and mobile backend design.
• Cloud certifications (AWS, Google Cloud or Azure Solutions Architect).
