ROLE OVERVIEW

We are seeking a hands-on Technical Architect to work on a large-scale enterprise platform involving distributed systems, data-intensive reconciliation workflows, and modern cloud-native architectures.

This role requires a strong architect who can balance system design, hands-on engineering, technical leadership, and delivery execution. The ideal candidate should be comfortable operating in highly scalable enterprise environments where performance, reliability, and engineering quality are critical.

This is NOT a review-only architecture role. The candidate is expected to stay closely connected to the codebase while driving architecture, engineering standards, and technical delivery.

The platform ecosystem includes:

Distributed microservices architecture
Azure cloud-native systems
Polyglot engineering environments
AI-enabled engineering workflows and emerging Agentic AI initiatives

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Architecture & Engineering

Design and build scalable backend systems using Java and Python.
Architect APIs, microservices, and distributed workflows for enterprise-scale platforms.
Drive system scalability, reliability, performance optimization, and engineering standards.
Write and review production-grade code, debug complex issues, and support deployments.

Technical Leadership

Lead a high-performance POD of approximately 10 engineers.
Drive sprint execution, technical delivery, and engineering quality.
Facilitate technical discussions, architecture reviews, and problem-solving sessions.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams across engineering, QA, DevOps, and platform operations.

Cloud & Platform Engineering

Work within Azure cloud-native environments and distributed systems ecosystems.
Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and platform modernization initiatives.

REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

Core Engineering

15+ years of software engineering experience in enterprise environments.
Strong hands-on expertise in:
Java (Spring Boot, Microservices)
Python (Django/Flask, REST APIs)
Strong distributed systems and system design experience.
Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and production support capabilities.

Cloud & Platform

Strong experience with Microsoft Azure and Azure DevOps (ADO).
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and Linux environments.

Additional Technical Skills

SQL Server and database performance tuning.
REST APIs, JUnit, pytest, and SOLID principles.
Exposure to React or full-stack development will be an added advantage.

CANDIDATE PROFILE

Strong architect with deep coding capabilities in Java as well as Python.
Technical leader with strong ownership and execution mindset.
Comfortable handling scale, complexity, and delivery pressure.
Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.

NOT SUITABLE FOR

Architects who are no longer hands-on with coding.
Pure people managers without strong technical depth.
Candidates without enterprise-scale distributed systems experience.
