Job Summary:
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. The role requires deep expertise in service decomposition, domain-driven design, distributed data management, and runtime concerns such as resilience, observability, and security at scale. 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.
Key Responsibilities
  • Define microservices architecture standards, service boundaries, and decomposition strategies aligned with domain-driven design principles.
  • Lead the modernization of legacy monoliths into well-bounded, independently deployable services with clear ownership.
  • Design service communication patterns leveraging REST, gRPC, asynchronous messaging, and event streaming as appropriate.
  • Establish API contracts, schema governance, and versioning strategies that enable safe evolution of services over time.
  • Architect resilient distributed systems incorporating circuit breakers, retries, bulkheads, and graceful degradation patterns.
  • Define data ownership models, transactional boundaries, and patterns such as outbox, saga, and CQRS where appropriate.
  • Lead the design of platform capabilities including service mesh, API gateway, identity propagation, and shared observability.
  • Drive performance engineering, capacity planning, and scalability analysis across critical service domains.
  • Establish CI/CD, testing, and deployment standards optimized for high-frequency, low-risk service releases.
  • Define observability standards including structured logging, distributed tracing, and SLO-driven monitoring.
  • Collaborate with security teams to ensure zero-trust principles, secrets management, and runtime protection are embedded.
  • Mentor engineers and tech leads on microservices best practices and anti-pattern avoidance.
  • Lead architecture reviews and provide guidance on service design proposals across multiple teams.
  • Continuously evaluate emerging cloud-native technologies for adoption based on maturity and strategic fit.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related discipline.
  • 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.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with platform engineering and internal developer platform construction.
  • Familiarity with Istio, Linkerd, Envoy, or comparable service mesh technologies.
  • Exposure to FinOps practices and cloud cost optimization at scale.
  • Public speaking, open-source contributions, or published technical writing.
  • Experience in regulated industries with strict compliance requirements.
