Role Overview

We are seeking a seasoned Microservices Architect to lead the design and evolution of large-scale microservices ecosystems built on modern container platforms and cloud-native technology stacks.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The ideal candidate brings hands-on architectural leadership across complex transformations, with a clear point of view on when microservices are the right answer, how to evolve them safely, and how to keep the resulting estate maintainable over the long term.

Requirements

  • Eight or more years of software engineering experience, with several years in architecture roles.
  • Deep expertise in microservices design, domain-driven design, and distributed systems patterns.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration, and service mesh technologies.
  • Proficiency in at least one major backend language such as Java, Go, or C#.
  • Strong understanding of API design, event-driven architectures, and asynchronous messaging.
  • Experience operating high-traffic, latency-sensitive systems in production.
  • Strong knowledge of cloud platforms and managed services across at least one major provider.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead architecture initiatives spanning multiple teams.

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience, plus benefits.
  • 100% remote work option.
  • Long-term, multi-year employment engagement.
  • H1B transfers welcomed for qualified candidates.
  • No C2C, 1099, or third-party arrangements.
