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.
