Software Architect

About the Role

The Software Architect leads the design and delivery of complex software solutions for Teceze's Software & Applications (SAA) tower. This role defines the technical architecture for bespoke development, product engineering, IoT, AI/ML integration, and OEM platform solutions. The Software Architect owns technical pre-sales, delivery standards, and the software engineering CoE.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead software solution architecture for enterprise clients — bespoke dev, APIs, microservices, cloud-native apps
• Own technical pre-sales for software projects — solution design, estimate, proposal, and BoM
• Define software engineering standards, coding practices, CI/CD pipelines, and quality frameworks
• Provide technical leadership and architectural oversight across active software delivery projects
• Drive the AI/ML and IoT component of Teceze's SAA tower — use cases, platforms, and patterns
• Lead code reviews, architecture reviews, and quality gates
• Build and maintain the software CoE — reusable components, accelerators, and IP
• Engage with technology platforms relevant to Teceze's product portfolio (Fieldeze, Smart Cities, etc.)

Essential Requirements

• 15+ years of software development experience, with at least 6 years in software architecture
• Deep expertise in at least two: Python, Java, Node.js, .NET, React/Angular
• Microservices architecture — REST APIs, event-driven architecture, Kafka, gRPC
• Cloud-native application design — containerisation (Docker/Kubernetes), serverless, cloud platforms
• Database design — PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB
• CI/CD pipeline design — GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI
• AI/ML integration — LLM APIs, model serving, MLOps (beneficial)
• Client-facing architecture and pre-sales experience

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• AWS/Azure solution architect certification
• Kubernetes/CKA
• Experience with IoT platforms (AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub)
• TOGAF or similar enterprise architecture methodology

How Success Will Be Measured (First 6 Months)

• Technical quality: zero architectural defects causing production incidents in first 3 months
• Pre-sales win rate: ≥35% on technical bids where architect leads the solution
• CoE contribution: 2+ reusable architectural patterns or accelerators documented per quarter
• Team capability: measurable improvement in team's technical assessment scores at 3-month mark
