About the role  

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Technical Architect with a deep technical background in .NET and Azure. As a Technical Architect, you will be responsible for designing scalable and high-performance systems while ensuring that our engineering teams are equipped with the best practices and architectural guidelines. While you will provide high-level architectural guidance, we expect our architects to be hands-on and actively contribute to the development process. 

In the initial phase of a project, you will take on the responsibility of the lead engineer, building solutions and working alongside the team to implement the architecture you design. Once the project team establishes a good velocity and the architecture stabilizes, you will start transitioning out of the project and move on to another project. You can be involved in up to 3 projects at a time, but the focus will be on one of them. 

Skills and qualifications 

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on .NET development and Azure cloud services.  
• Strong expertise in designing and developing scalable web applications. 
• Familiarity with frontend development practices, ideally using React.  
• Proven experience with Azure cloud architectures and familiarity with infrastructure-as-code, ideally in Terraform.  
• Deep understanding of software architecture principles and design patterns.  
• Hands-on experience building and deploying applications using modern DevOps practices and tools.  
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control, and familiarity with automated testing.  
• Excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to think critically and provide innovative solutions.  
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.  
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities.
