About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Architectural Leadership: Lead the design and architecture of robust, scalable, secure, and high-performance applications, defining technical standards, patterns, and best practices.
Container Orchestration & Strategy: Design and oversee the deployment of containerized workloads, specifically leveraging Kubernetes (K8s) and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) to ensure high availability and efficient resource management.
Solution Design & Strategy: Translate complex business requirements and user stories into detailed technical designs, architectural blueprints, and implementation strategies.
Technology Selection: Evaluate and recommend appropriate technologies, frameworks, and platforms, with a strong emphasis on GCP services and cloud-native architectures.
Technical Guidance & Mentorship: Provide expert technical guidance and mentorship to development teams, conducting code reviews and ensuring adherence to architectural principles (such as 12-factor app methodology).
Performance & Scalability: Design solutions that meet stringent performance, scalability, and reliability requirements, utilizing GKE’s auto-scaling capabilities to handle evolving needs.
Integration Strategy: Define strategies for integrating diverse systems, including APIs, microservices, third-party platforms, and legacy applications.
Stakeholder Collaboration: Collaborate closely with clients, product managers, and cross-functional engineering teams to ensure alignment between business goals and technical solutions.
Roadmapping & Innovation: Contribute to technical roadmaps, staying abreast of emerging technologies (e.g., AI/ML integration, serverless, Service Mesh/Istio) to drive innovation.
Risk Management: Identify potential technical risks, particularly regarding infrastructure security and cluster management, proposing mitigation strategies throughout the project lifecycle.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of progressive experience in software development, with at least 3-5 years in an Application Architect or similar senior leadership role.
