Job DescriptionWe are seeking a Software Architect to lead architectural decisions for our Cloud Management Portal, a customer-facing platform enabling enterprises to manage, govern, and optimize multi-cloud infrastructure.
You will champion modern engineering best practices, and work closely with product owners and customers to ensure the portal delivers tangible business value.
This is an ideal role for a hands-on architect with intrinsic motivation who believes that great engineering serves customer needs.
Key Responsibilities
• Define and communicate architectural vision for the Cloud Management Portal aligned with product strategy and customer outcomes
• Make pragmatic architectural decisions balancing modern practices with delivery speed and customer value
• Champion modern engineering best practices: clean architecture, testing (unit/integration/e2e), continuous refactoring, and knowledge sharing
• Coach engineers and team leads on architectural patterns, design decisions, and engineering best practices
• Foster a blameless post-mortem culture focused on learning and system improvement
• Work closely with product owners and customers to understand multi-cloud management pain points and translate them into portal features
• Design scalable, multi-tenant Cloud Management Portal architecture supporting AWS, GCP, Azure environments
• Architect secure authentication and authorization using OpenID Connect, EntraID/Azure AD, and SAML with role-based access control
• Lead infrastructure-as-code strategy using Terraform and AWS CDK; automate deployments, testing, monitoring, and operational tasks
• Identify opportunities to leverage AI within the portal: cost optimization recommendations, anomaly detection, policy automation, resource right-sizing
• Stay current with AI/ML advancements and evaluate adoption feasibility for customer-facing portal features
Technical Requirements
• Deep expertise in Node.js: async patterns, performance optimization, enterprise patterns, microservices architecture
• Expert-level understanding of authentication and authorization: OpenID Connect (OIDC), Azure AD/EntraID, SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0
• Strong grasp of identity and access management principles, zero-trust architecture, and least-privilege design
• Production-grade cloud architecture on AWS: compute (Lambda, ECS, EC2), storage, databases, networking, and security
• Expert proficiency in AWS CDK and strong Terraform skills: modular design, state management, CI/CD integration
• Test automation expertise: unit, integration, contract, and e2e testing; test strategy design
• CI/CD pipeline design and implementation; code quality tooling and practices
• API design: TARDIS, REST, GraphQL, event-driven patterns
• Comprehensive observability design: metrics, logging, distributed tracing, synthetic monitoring
• SRE principles: SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, blameless post-mortems, toil reduction
• Proficiency in Python, Go, or similar for automation and diagnostics
• Strong communication skills; ability to visualize architecture through diagrams and compelling narratives
Minimum Qualifications
• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years in architecture or technical leadership
• Proven track record designing and operating production systems at scale
• Experience building multi-tenant SaaS or enterprise platforms
• Fluent in English; capable of engaging with international customers
• Willingness to learn, experiment, and operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• Intrinsic motivation to continuously raise engineering standards and customer satisfaction
• Collaborative mindset with strong stakeholder management skills
• Curiosity for AIL advancements, emerging technologies, and industry best practices
Nice to Have
• Experience with identity provider platforms or security-focused infrastructure
• Hands-on experience with event-driven architectures and message brokers (SNS, SQS, Kafka)
• Familiarity with FinOps and cost management tools
• Experience mentoring developers
Success Indicators (First 6 Months)
• Define and communicate Cloud Management Portal architectural vision; gain stakeholder alignment
• Implement modern CI/CD pipeline improvements: reduce deployment friction, increase test coverage, enable faster iteration
• Establish and document modern engineering practices (testing strategy, code review process, architectural decision records)
• Lead customer engagement sessions demonstrating deep understanding of cloud management pain points
• Coach portal engineers on architectural patterns, testing strategies, and deployment automation
• Build trust with product leadership and customers through collaborative roadmapping and transparent trade-offs
* Please be informed that our remote working possibility is only available within Hungary due to European taxation regulation.
