📋 Description

• Lead architecture and technical strategy for Java-based application modernization and cloud transformation programs spanning multiple teams and workstreams. • Translate business goals into scalable Java/JVM architectures aligned with non-functional requirements, delivery constraints, and program-level outcomes. • Drive architectural consistency across teams using shared Java frameworks, libraries, standards, and design patterns. • Collaborate with data, platform, DevOps, and security architects to maintain a cohesive end-to-end cloud architecture. • Provide hands-on architectural guidance during delivery, including reviews of Java codebases, API designs, and system integrations. • Define reusable patterns and guardrails using Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Jakarta EE, and related JVM technologies. • Apply strong engineering fundamentals—clean architecture, modular design, API-first development, testability, and observability—so solutions remain robust and maintainable. • Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate design, coding, testing, documentation, and analysis at program scale. • Lead or co-lead discovery and roadmap efforts, translating requirements into integrated, testable backlogs with clear dependencies and non-functional requirements. • Use structured problem-solving to assess scope, risks, and trade-offs, clearly communicating options in terms of value, cost, and time-to-impact. • Communicate Java architecture decisions effectively to both technical and executive stakeholders. • Build trusted relationships with product, engineering, and technology leaders to shape cloud modernization strategies. • Ensure application architectures support predictable delivery, stable team velocity, and long-term maintainability. • Align multiple teams around shared contracts, APIs, and integration patterns (REST, event-driven, messaging). • Support Agile delivery at scale by ensuring architecture enables incremental delivery, strong definitions of done, and telemetry-driven improvements. • Mentor architects, senior engineers, and technical leads in Java architecture, system design, and JVM performance considerations. • Model pragmatic decision-making—knowing when to simplify and when advanced patterns or technologies are justified. • Participate in hiring, technical interviews, and development planning for future Java architects and technical leaders. • Contribute to business development by identifying opportunities to extend Java-based solutions across client organizations. • Partner with sales and account teams to define technical vision, architecture strategy, and solution options for new engagements. • Produce high-level designs, estimates, and architecture artifacts that clearly document assumptions, dependencies, and risks. • Build reusable assets such as Java reference architectures, starter repositories, accelerators, and templates. • Champion adoption of modern Java frameworks, cloud-native patterns, containerization, automation, and AI-assisted tooling. • Actively contribute to enablement initiatives and knowledge sharing across delivery teams.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree preferred. • 10+ years of hands-on Java development experience in enterprise or cloud environments. • 5+ years in solution architecture or technical leadership, including multi-team or multi-workstream programs. • Proven experience leading Java-based cloud applications on Azure, including modernization and greenfield builds. • Deep expertise in Java, JVM performance, concurrency, memory management, and modern Java frameworks (e.g., Spring Boot, Spring Cloud). • Experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs, event-driven systems, and microservices architectures. • Strong familiarity with Azure services relevant to Java workloads (App Service, AKS, messaging, data, security, networking). • Experience with containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes/AKS), and CI/CD pipelines for Java applications. • Experience integrating AI or machine-learning capabilities via APIs or cloud AI services. • Consulting or professional services experience strongly preferred. • Excellent analytical, communication, and stakeholder-management skills. • Ability to remain hands-on when needed while guiding architecture across large, complex programs.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible work location with a virtual first approach to work! • 401(K) with match up to 50% of your 6% contributions of eligible pay • Generous PTO providing a minimum of 15 days in addition to 9 paid company holidays and 2 floating personal days • Two medical plan options to allow you the choice to elect what works best for you! • Option for vision and dental coverage • 100% employer paid coverage for life and disability insurance • Paid leave for birth parents and non-birth parents • Option for Healthcare FSA, HSA, and Dependent Care FSA • $67.00 monthly tech and home office allowance • Utilization and/or discretionary bonus eligibility based on role • Employee Assistance Program to help with everyday challenges
