Job description

Architecture & Standards
Design and iterate microservices and multi-tenant architectures (schema-per-tenant, isolation, tenant-aware routing).
Establish golden paths, reference implementations, ADRs, and C4/system diagrams.
Define API strategy (REST & GraphQL), versioning, and contract standards.
Security, Performance & Reliability
Set baselines for OAuth2/JWT, RBAC, encryption, audit logging, rate limiting, input validation.
Lead performance architecture (connection pooling, caching, query tuning, scalability/load balancing).
Implement end-to-end observability (distributed tracing, metrics, logs, SLOs/error budgets and alerting).
Eventing, Integration & Data
Architect event-driven designs (queues, async processing, CQRS/event sourcing).
Define resilient inter-service communication, service discovery, circuit breakers, retries, and data access patterns.
Cloud & Platform Enablement
Own AWS multi-account strategy, container orchestration, and IaC standards (Terraform).
Guide CI/CD, supply-chain security, environment promotion, and cost/performance governance.
Leadership & Collaboration
Partner with frontend, backend, data, and DevOps leads to ensure architectural consistency.
Mentor engineers, run architecture reviews, lead technical talks/knowledge sharing.
Identify technical risks/tech debt and drive pragmatic remediation roadmaps.
