Software Architect

Join us as a Software Architect, where you??ll drive the design of cloud-native, microservices-based systems and shape the technical direction of our next-generation products. Youll lead architecture decisions, guide engineering teams on best practices, and ensure our solutions meet performance, scalability, and reliability goals. In this role, you??ll collaborate closely with R&D, cloud, and platform experts to resolve complex challenges and elevate product quality. Youll also mentor engineers, influence long-term technology strategy, and take ownership of critical architecture components. This is your opportunity to create meaningful impact while building software that powers the future.

• Provide leadership and guidance during customer escalations and emergencies while ensuring adherence to SLAs, and actively work on installing, reproducing, and resolving product issues.
• Define end-to-end cloud-native architecture using microservices, API-first principles, and containerized workloads, ensuring alignment with modern engineering standards.
• Collaborate closely with Core R&D SMEs and external cloud teams (Nokia Cloud/NCS/NCP/AnyCloud) to drive solutions and streamline issue resolution.
• Lead and mentor engineering teams on cloud-native patterns, Go best practices, and high-quality development processes.
• Own complex component-level software architecture, test strategies for Tribe deliverables, and review HW/SW architecture outputs from associated squads.
• Conduct design and code reviews, ensure architectural compliance, and coach individual contributors across HW/SW Architecture squads.

Must have:

• Bachelor??s degree in Engineering or related fields, with preference for Computer Science, Electrical, Computer, or Software Engineering, along with 5+ years of experience designing cloud-native, distributed architectures.
• Expertise in Go (Golang), concurrent programming, gRPC, REST, and messaging frameworks, plus deep knowledge of Kubernetes internals, controllers, and operators.
• Hands-on expertise in cloud-native technologies, containerization, Docker, microservices, and open-source tools such as Fluentd, Istio, Jaeger, MariaDB, XiPKI, Consul, and Envoy.
• Good understanding of mobile networks including VOLTE/IMS, 4G/5G Core, IMS concepts, and related telecom technologies.

It would be nice if you also had:

• Practical experience working with SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Understanding of protocols and interfaces such as HTTP/2, gRPC, and REST APIs.
• Familiarity with components like Fluentd, Istio, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Prometheus, Kafka, and Keycloak, with the ability to understand their usage, configuration, and troubleshooting.
