Job Description
Role : Technical Architect
About The Role
Were looking for a hands-on Technical Architect with deep expertise in Node.js, React.js, and Java, who can design, build, and optimize large-scale distributed systems. Youll architect and implement scalable microservices, define observability standards using Prometheus and Grafana, and ensure every component is performant, secure, and production-ready.
This role is for technologists who want to code, design, and shape engineering excellence - not just review it.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and build enterprise-grade applications using Node.js (Nest.js/Express), React.js (Hooks/Next.js), and Java (Spring Boot).
- Architect microservices and event-driven systems optimized for scalability, resilience, and modularity.
- Define observability architecture - metrics, tracing, and dashboards - using Prometheus and Grafana (mandatory).
- Implement performance tuning, load testing, and proactive alerting to maintain high availability.
- Drive DevOps alignment, including CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes deployments, and cloud-native design patterns.
- Create and maintain architecture artifacts - diagrams, decisions (ADR), and scalability roadmaps.
- Evaluate and adopt emerging technologies to improve developer productivity and system reliability.
- Mentor engineers on architecture patterns, design decisions, and clean code principles.
- Partner with product and business stakeholders to translate ideas into robust, production-grade solutions.
Required Skills & Experience
- 12 - 15 years of experience in software engineering, with 5+ years in an architect-level role.
- Deep hands-on proficiency in Node.js, React.js, and Java/Spring Boot across front-end and backend stacks.
- Strong background in microservices, REST/gRPC APIs, and event-driven systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or Pulsar).
- Mandatory expertise in Prometheus and Grafana for observability, metrics instrumentation, and dashboard creation.
- Proven ability to design and optimize systems for high performance, scalability, and reliability.
- Solid experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Strong grasp of SQL and NoSQL databases, caching layers, and distributed transaction design.
- Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CloudFormation), and secure API gateways.
- Demonstrated knowledge of system security, fault-tolerance, and monitoring best practices.
- Exceptional communication and documentation skills; able to present architecture to diverse audiences.
Wed Be Super Excited If You Have
- Familiarity with Open Telemetry, ELK/EFK, or Jaeger for extended observability stacks.
- Exposure to GraphQL, CQRS, or Domain-Driven Design (DDD).
- Experience with serverless functions and hybrid cloud architectures.
- Contributions to open-source, tech blogs, or internal architecture frameworks
