Architect

Responsibilities:

This is a senior-level, individual contributor role focused on hands-on technical leadership in backend architecture. The role is centred around three core areas:

• Drive complex backend architecture initiatives that span across multiple engineering and technology domains.
• Lead strategic R& D efforts to evaluate new backend technologies, frameworks, and methodologies, and champion their adoption company-wide.
• Spearhead our Multi-Cloud and Hybrid-Cloud backend strategies, ensuring scalable, secure, and resilient architecture patterns.

Requirements:

• 14+ years of software development experience, with at least 4 years in an Architect or Staff Engineer role, particularly in backend systems.
• A backend technology expert with in-depth, hands-on experience in building and scaling enterprise SaaS with a distributed architecture.
• In-depth knowledge of Rest and event-driven architecture with low latency and high-throughput in-memory systems.
• Designing a stateful backend to handle large data, including a message broker, a distributed queue, and caching.
• Good understanding of High Availability and Disaster recovery for the critical production system.
• In-depth understanding of Async, Multi-Threading and Multi-Processing Architecture to ensure our system efficiently uses the programming principle for higher concurrency support.
• Proficiency in the following programming languages (Python, Rust), with a strong foundation in software engineering principles.
• Knowledge of Rust is a strong plus, especially in the context of high-performance, memory safety and ownership.
• Deep understanding of system design, database architecture (SQL & NoSQL), microservices, observability, resilience engineering, and secure coding practices.
• Exposure to big data platforms, stream processing, machine learning infrastructure, and multi-cloud environments (e. g., AWS, GCP, Azure) is preferred.
• Excellent communicator and collaborator, with the ability to influence and align cross-functional stakeholders.
• Proven experience mentoring engineers and guiding architectural decisions at scale.
