• Translate business requirements into clear technical specifications, architectural diagrams, and data models to drive solution development. • Design end-to-end solution blueprints for new products, platform enhancements, and integrations. • Evaluate and select tools, frameworks, cloud services, databases, and integration patterns for specific solutions (not for the entire platform). • Ensure all proposed solutions strictly comply with established enterprise architecture standards and the overall technology strategy. • Clearly communicate architectural designs and the trade-offs involved to both technical and non-technical audiences. • Manage risks by proactively identifying and mitigating potential technical challenges and risks inherent in the design. • Collaborate effectively with cross-functional engineering teams, including Product Managers, Developers, and Quality Assurance (QA). • Engage with external partners and vendors to design integrations. • Drive adoption and continuous refinement of modern architectural principles — including Microservices, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) — through standards, mentoring, and code reviews. • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineering teams, fostering a culture of excellence and high-quality implementation.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 3 years in a dedicated Solutions Architect or Software Architect role. • Deep understanding of cloud-native architectures and major cloud provider platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, or GCP), with demonstrated expertise in GCP (a plus). • Experience designing and implementing reliable Microservices architectures, including best practices for API design (such as REST/GraphQL) and inter-service communication. • Strong hands-on experience and advocacy for Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), including patterns such as event sourcing and Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS). • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate complex technical designs to both technical (developers, engineers) and non-technical (product managers, business leaders) audiences. • Commitment to staying current with emerging technologies and industry trends, and to ongoing professional development. • Strong understanding of software development methodologies and the software development lifecycle (SDLC). • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
