Senior Software Architect

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Native AWS Software Architect to lead the design and development of cutting-edge cloud-hosted solutions. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in AWS, microservices architecture, SaaS product development, and modern web application frameworks. This role requires a hands-on leader who can drive architectural decisions, mentor engineering teams, and ensure the delivery of secure, scalable, and high-performance cloud applications.

• Lead the architecture, design, and development of cloud-hosted web applications for the insurance industry - from network infrastructure design to user experience, database schema, data models, workflow automation, and end-to-end integration testing.
• Define and own architectural standards, patterns, and best practices for AWS-native SaaS products.
• Collaborate closely with product management, business stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to translate requirements into technical solutions.
• Drive domain-driven designs for data models, APIs, and data products.
• Architect and implement microservices using modern frameworks and container orchestration platforms (Docker, Kubernetes, ECS, EKS).
• Oversee CI/CD pipelines and DevOps processes for rapid, reliable, and secure deployments.
• Design and implement RESTful and GraphQL APIs with a focus on performance and scalability.
• Develop functional, responsive, and accessible front-end interfaces using HTML5, CSS/SCSS, TypeScript, Angular/React, and modern UI component libraries (e.g., Kendo UI, Infragistics).
• Ensure security best practices in application architecture, including IAM policies, encryption, API security, and compliance with industry standards (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2).
• Champion cloud-native principles and serverless architectures using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, and other AWS managed services.
• Work with AWS data services, including Redshift, RDS, Aurora, and S3, for building scalable data-driven applications.
• Lead proof-of-concept initiatives to evaluate emerging AWS services and architectural approaches.
• Mentor and guide development teams in architecture decisions, code quality, and performance optimization.
• Support UI automation testing alongside development activities to ensure high-quality deliverables.
• Collaborate with QA and DevOps teams for automated testing, monitoring, and application observability using tools like CloudWatch, X-Ray, and Open Telemetry.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field; Master’s preferred.
• 8+ years of progressive experience in software engineering, with 2+ years in an AWS cloud-native architect role.
• Proven experience designing and implementing AWS-native SaaS products and complex full-stack applications.
• Strong expertise in .NET Core, C#, ASP.NET Core, and modern JavaScript frameworks (Angular, React, TypeScript).
• Experience with serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway) and microservices deployed on ECS/EKS.
• Proficiency with SQL and database programming for both RDBMS (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL) and AWS data solutions (Redshift, Aurora, DynamoDB).
• Experience designing secure, multi-tenant SaaS architectures.
• Solid understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies and experience working in cross-functional product teams.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as AWS CloudFormation, Terraform, or CDK.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, AWS Code Pipeline, or similar tools.
• Experience implementing application monitoring and observability.
• Strong problem-solving skills, excellent communication abilities, and the ability to collaborate across multiple teams.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with event-driven architectures using AWS SNS, SQS, or Kafka.
• Understanding of cost optimization strategies in AWS environments.
• Experience integrating with third-party APIs and services.
• Knowledge of insurance industry platforms and regulatory compliance considerations.
• Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
