Solution Architect

We are looking for a Software Solution Architect to lead the technical design of our platform and ensure it is scalable, secure, multi-tenant, cost-efficient, and future-proof. You will define the architecture, guide engineering teams, execute the implementation of modern cloud-native solutions.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on architect who understands modern SaaS patterns and can work across backend, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, security, and data architecture.
Experience with DevOps (CI/CD, IaC, Docker/Kubernetes, cloud deployments) is a major advantage.

Key Responsibilities:

Architecture & System Design

• Lead end-to-end architecture for a cloud-native SaaS platform (multi-tenant, scalable, modular).
• Define the system's high-level architecture (microservices vs modular monolith).
• Design multi-tenant strategies:
• Tenant isolation (DB-per-tenant / schema-per-tenant / row-level)
• Authentication & Authorization (RBAC/ABAC)
• Data partitioning and security
• Define APIs (REST/GraphQL), event-driven communication, and domain boundaries.
• Own the architecture roadmap and create reference architecture & coding standards.

Cloud & DevOps

• Design and implement cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP).
• Own CI/CD pipeline design (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, etc.).
• Container strategy using Docker and Kubernetes/EKS/AKS/Serverless alternatives.
• Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Pulumi).
• Setup monitoring, logging, and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, ELK).
• Ensure cost-effective cloud utilization and scalability.

Technical Leadership

• Mentor developers on cloud-native, modular, and scalable SaaS patterns.
• Review architecture and code to ensure maintainability and high performance.
• Collaborate with product, backend, frontend, and QA teams for technical alignment.
• Conduct POCs and evaluate new technologies where beneficial.

Security & Compliance

• Implement SaaS security best practices (OWASP, secrets management, API security).
• Drive data encryption, key management, and zero-trust principles.
• Ensure compliance readiness (SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001).

Performance & Reliability

• Ensure high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) strategies.
• Establish observability metrics (SLIs, SLOs, SLAs).
• Conduct load testing, resilience testing, and capacity planning.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years in software development with 3+ years architecting SaaS platforms.
• Strong expertise with at least one backend stack (.NET Core, Node.js, Go, Python).
• Deep knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Proven experience building scalable, distributed systems.
• Strong grasp of:
• Microservices & modular monolith architecture
• Event-driven architecture (Kafka/RabbitMQ/Service Bus)
• Multi-tenant SaaS patterns
• API gateway patterns, caching, rate limiting
• Hands-on DevOps experience:
• Docker, Kubernetes
• CI/CD pipelines
• Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/Pulumi)
• Monitoring/Logging tools
• Database design experience (SQL + NoSQL).
• Strong grounding in security for cloud and SaaS systems.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience in B2B enterprise SaaS products.
• Experience in DDD (Domain-Driven Design).
• Experience with serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions).
• Familiarity with event sourcing, CQRS.
• Exposure to AI/ML integrations.
• Experience working with offshore or distributed teams.

What Success Looks Like

• A scalable, modular SaaS architecture ready for long-term growth.
• A robust CI/CD pipeline enabling fast, safe deployments.
• Clear architectural documentation & standards for the engineering team.
• Proactive performance tuning, cost optimization, and security best practices.
• Development team adopting modern cloud-native patterns.

Why Join Us

• Build a modern SaaS product from the ground up.
• Opportunity to shape the entire technical foundation of the company.
• Work with founders and influence product direction.
• Growth-oriented culture with strong ownership and autonomy.
