About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and structure legacy components, microservices and APIs, ensuring cohesion, low coupling and sustainable evolution of systems.
Establish development standards, design patterns (SOLID, Clean Architecture, DDD) and practices to continuously reduce technical debt.
Translate business requirements into scalable, secure and cost-effective technical solutions.
Conduct technical and architectural reviews, identifying risks and opportunities for improvement.
Implement and evolve internal developer portals (IDP) such as Backstage (Spotify/CNCF), centralizing the service catalog, technical documentation (TechDocs) and scaffolding templates.
Define and maintain the IDP Software Catalog, ensuring visibility and governance over all services, APIs and platform components.
Create and maintain Software Templates (golden paths) to standardize the creation of new services, environments and pipelines with best practices embedded.
Develop and integrate custom plugins for Backstage to connect internal tools (CI/CD, observability, cloud, ticketing, security).
Promote a self-service culture, reducing squads' cognitive load and accelerating onboarding of new developers.
Evaluate and recommend complementary or alternative IDP solutions (Port, Cortex, Roadie, OpsLevel) according to platform maturity.
Design, implement and maintain continuous integration and delivery pipelines (CI/CD) with a focus on quality, traceability and speed.
Integrate automated tests (unit, integration and security) into CI/CD pipelines.
Design and govern advanced deployment strategies: Blue/Green, Canary and Feature Flags.
Integrate security tools (SAST/DAST) continuously into the development lifecycle, ensuring security without operational friction.
Ensure adherence to security best practices: authentication, authorization and OWASP Top 10.
Implement and automate observability strategies: logs, metrics and distributed tracing (New Relic, ELK stack, Prometheus, Grafana).
Support the definition of IaC strategies and infrastructure automation.
Mentor and guide developers on architectural and software engineering best practices.
Act as the technical reference within the squad, collaborating with product, business and infrastructure teams.
Actively participate in agile ceremonies, contributing technical and architectural perspectives.

Expertise in distributed architectures, microservices and event-driven design.
Practical application of patterns: SOLID, Clean Architecture, DDD, CQRS and Event Sourcing.
Experience implementing or operating an IDP with Backstage (Spotify/CNCF): Software Catalog, TechDocs, Scaffolder and plugin system.
Knowledge of platform engineering: golden paths, self-service, workflow standardization and developer experience (DevEx) management.
