This role requires deep technical expertise, strong systems thinking, and the ability to influence engineers, product leaders, and executives. You will define standards, evaluate technologies, and drive architectural consistency across multiple teams and product lines.
 
Architecture & Technical Strategy
  • Define and own the overarching architecture for mission-critical systems and platform components.
  • Drive the long-term architectural roadmap, ensuring the system meets stringent requirements for scalability, reliability, security, maintainability, and operational excellence.
  • Design models, frameworks, and patterns that guide the evolution of APIs, data flows, domain boundaries, and service interactions.
  • Conduct hands-on POC s and evaluate and integrate emerging technologies, architectural trends, and engineering approaches that align with future platform needs.
  • Establish foundational engineering principles, architectural guardrails, and best practices across teams.
System Design & Engineering Leadership
  • Lead end-to-end architectural design for complex features, cross-cutting systems, and high-scale service components.
  • Provide hands-on architectural guidance and support during system design, implementation, and optimization.
  • Develop architectural models for control-plane systems, configuration management, policy engines, and distributed workflows.

  • Expert engineering proficiency with .NET Core and familiarity with its runtime architecture, performance considerations, and advanced patterns.
  • Deep experience designing API ecosystems across multiple technologies (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, etc).
  • Expertise with containerized environments and orchestration systems (Docker, Kubernetes), including production-grade deployments.
  • Strong systems design skills, including domain modeling, performance engineering, service decomposition, and workflow orchestration.
  • Strong understanding of security architecture, risk modeling, and secure-by-design principles.
Nice to Have
  • Experience developing and maintaining SOAR system componants and control planes.
  • Experience designing or leading configuration systems, policy engines, or management platforms.
  • Experience with distributed systems at massive scale or in regulated/high-security environments.
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud architecture (AWS/GCP/Azure).
