Technical Architect

Job Title: Technical Architect Role Overview: We are seeking a high-calibre Hands-On Technical Architect to bridge the gap between high-level business strategy and low-level implementation. You will be responsible for defining the technical vision and ensuring its successful execution by working alongside development teams. You aren't just drawing diagrams; you are building the "architectural runway" and proving concepts through production-ready code. Requirements Key Responsibilities: Architectural Design: Design scalable, secure, and resilient system architectures (Microservices, Event-Driven, Cloud-Native). Prototyping & POCs: Develop Proof of Concepts (PoCs) to validate new technologies, frameworks, or complex integration patterns before the team adopts them. Coding & Implementation: Spend significant time "at the keyboard," implementing core framework components, shared libraries, or solving the most difficult technical tickets. Technical Governance: Establish and enforce coding standards, CI/CD patterns, and security protocols across multiple teams. Mentorship: Conduct deep-dive code reviews and mentor senior developers to elevate the collective technical bar. Stakeholder Bridge: Translate complex technical trade-offs (e.g., "Latency vs. Consistency") into business terms for Product Owners and Executives. Modernization: Identify and manage technical debt, creating roadmaps for legacy decommissioning or platform migrations. Required Technical Skills(2025 Profile): Development Mastery of at least two core languages (Python, or Node/TypeScript). Cloud Deep experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP, including serverless (Lambda/Functions) and managed services. Platform Expert-level knowledge of Kubernetes (K8s), Docker, and Service Mesh (Istio/Linkerd). Infrastructure Infrastructure as Code (IaC) via Terraform. Data Architecture of SQL (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Cassandra) and caching (Redis). Emerging Tech Experience integrating LLMs/Generative AI into application workflows and observability (OpenTelemetry). Distributed Systems Deep understanding of CAP Theorem, Fallacies of Distributed Computing, and Consensus Algorithms (Raft/Paxos). Scalability Patterns Expertise in Sharding, CQRS, Event Sourcing, and Global Database Distribution. Security Architecture Implementation of Zero Trust models, OAuth2/OIDC flows, and Secret Management at scale. Soft Skills & Qualifications Systems Thinking: Ability to see how a change in one microservice impacts the entire ecosystem. Pragmatism: The ability to choose "good enough" over "perfect" to meet business deadlines. Communication: Proficiency in visual storytelling (LucidChart, Mermaid.js, or Miro) to explain architecture. Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science with 10+ years of equivalent deep-tier engineering experience. Benefits Work on cutting-edge technologies and impactful projects. Opportunities for career growth and development. Collaborative and inclusive work environment. Competitive salary and benefits package.
