Senior Product Architect

As a Senior Architect focused on Technology within Product Architecture, you will play a crucial role in addressing a senior design ownership gap across multiple OSS domains. Your responsibilities will include leading the design of complex features and components, ensuring scalability, performance, and alignment with the overall product architecture. Your expertise will be instrumental in driving technical consistency, accelerating development velocity, and ensuring the long-term scalability and maintainability of our OSS product portfolio. You will be expected to provide senior design ownership and architectural guidance across various OSS domains, ensuring coherent and consistent solutions. Additionally, you will lead the architectural design efforts to achieve convergence and seamless interoperability across service assurance, orchestration, and network slicing domains. Identifying and resolving architectural conflicts or redundancies between different product components to ensure a unified solution will also be part of your responsibilities. Your role will involve identifying, defining, and promoting the adoption of reusable design patterns, architectural frameworks, and best practices across product teams. You will collaborate with individual domain architects to align their specific designs with the overarching convergence strategy and ensure that architectural designs support future scalability, resilience, and extensibility across the converged domains. Furthermore, you will translate product roadmap initiatives into detailed architectural plans, working closely with product management and engineering leads to break down large initiatives into manageable architectural increments. Anticipating future technical challenges related to cross-domain integration and proactively designing solutions will also be a key aspect of your role. To be successful in this role, you should have at least 10 years of hands-on experience in software architecture and design, with a significant focus on large-scale OSS or enterprise software. You should also possess a deep understanding of modern software architecture principles, expertise in cloud-native technologies and public cloud platforms, proficiency in application development languages, and a strong knowledge of databases, messaging queues, and caching technologies. Your educational background should include a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field. Additionally, you should demonstrate exceptional analytical skills, strong problem-solving abilities, excellent collaboration and communication skills, and the ability to articulate complex data architectural concepts to technical and business stakeholders. If you choose to join Rakuten Symphony, you will have the opportunity to contribute to building an innovative cloud-native telco platform for global customers and be part of a team that is shaping the future of mobile telecommunications.,
