Solutions Architect

Accountabilities

• Define detailed architecture blueprints, system designs, technical standards, reference patterns, and long-term technology roadmaps for complex platforms.


• Design scalable, reliable, secure, and maintainable distributed systems and integrations while balancing scalability, performance, security, cost, and operational complexity.


• Act as the primary architectural authority, guiding technical direction and modernization strategies across mature and evolving systems.


• Architect and optimize cloud or hybrid infrastructures, including networking, IAM/RBAC, compute, storage, monitoring, security, governance, resilience, disaster recovery, and cost optimization.


• Establish Infrastructure-as-Code and automation strategies using technologies such as Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation, Pulumi, or native cloud tooling.


• Guide DevOps adoption, CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, release workflows, environment management, observability, automation, and operational excellence.


• Support engineering teams with complex debugging, incident resolution, performance improvements, and architectural refactoring from a systems-level perspective.


• Contribute selectively to architecture-critical code, prototypes, proofs of concept, code reviews, design reviews, and technical troubleshooting when hands-on involvement is required.


• Partner with Sales and Customer Success during pre-sales to assess technical feasibility, shape solution approaches, participate in discovery and proposals, and validate delivery commitments.


• Ensure architectural context and decisions transition effectively from pre-sales into delivery and early project planning.


• Evaluate emerging technologies and identify opportunities to integrate AI/ML, event-driven architectures, workflow orchestration, and modern automation approaches.


• Mentor engineers and technical leads, identify capability gaps, promote engineering best practices, and strengthen overall architectural and technical maturity.


• Influence senior technical stakeholders through strong communication, credibility, and sound judgment without relying on formal authority.

Requirements

• Bring 12+ years of professional software engineering experience, including at least 5 years in architecture-focused roles.


• Hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, or demonstrate equivalent practical experience.


• Have proven experience designing, delivering, and evolving distributed systems in production, including large-scale or mission-critical environments.


• Demonstrate strong knowledge of REST APIs, service-oriented architectures, event-driven design, messaging, queues, buses, event-management systems, SQL, data models, and databases.


• Have solid understanding of Clean Architecture, SOLID principles, TDD, EDD, Infrastructure as Code, Platform as a Service, security, governance, observability, and resilience.


• Be capable of reading, understanding, and reasoning about complex codebases across multiple technologies, with sufficient code literacy to guide architectural decisions.


• Have strong familiarity with modern cloud platforms and cloud infrastructure, including experience with Azure or comparable platforms.


• Demonstrate experience with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, automation, infrastructure architecture, and production operations.


• Possess strong architectural judgment and a systems-thinking mindset, combined with a pragmatic and delivery-focused approach.


• Communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders and demonstrate strong ownership in evolving and ambiguous environments.


• Be comfortable influencing and guiding senior engineers without direct authority while respecting their expertise and autonomy.


• Demonstrate curiosity and openness toward emerging technologies and new architectural approaches.


• Experience modernizing legacy systems, evolving mature platforms, working with cloud-native or containerized architectures, microservices, workflow orchestration, event-driven platforms, or AI/ML integration is a plus.


• Cloud or architecture-related certifications are considered an additional advantage.

• Long-term, full-time employment.


• Fully remote work.


• Competitive salary in USD, based on the role and experience.


• 20+ paid time-off days.


• Opportunity to work on complex, multi-domain technology platforms and influence long-term architectural strategy.


• Exposure to cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, AI/ML, DevOps, automation, and modern software architecture.


• Opportunities to mentor technical teams and contribute to broader engineering maturity and leadership development.
