## Description

Blue Yonder Defense Solutions (BYDS) is seeking a Distributed Systems / Integration Architect to lead the design and evolution of our next-generation, enterprise-scale platform. This role will define architectural patterns for distributed computing, event-driven systems, and enterprise integration, ensuring scalability, resilience, and interoperability across a complex ecosystem of internal and external systems., * Architecture Leadership -- define and evolve the reference architecture for distributed, event-driven, and integration-centric systems. Establish architecture principles, standards, and design patterns across engineering teams. Lead system design for high-scale, mission-critical applications.

 * Distributed Systems Design - design systems that can handle high throughput and large-scale data processing, fault tolerance and resiliency, scalability and performance optimization, and eventual consistency and distributed transactions.
 * Enterprise Integration & Messaging - architect solutions based on Enterprise Integration Patterns such as publish/subscribe, message routing and transformation, and event driven workflows. Have a deep understanding of messaging platforms such as Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, Apache ActiveMQ, etc. Define strategies for message durability and replay, schema evolution and event versioning, dead-letter handling and recovery, etc.
 * API & Service Architecture - define standards for API design and governance (REST, gRPC, asyn APIs), architect service-to-service communication models (synchronous vs. asynchronous), guide implementation of API gateways and service meshes.
 * Cloud-Native & Platform Architecture - design systems leveraging Docker, Kubernetes. Define architecture for multi-region deployments, high availability and disaster recovery, Infrastructure-as-Code using tools like Ansible (preferred) and Terraform
 * Data Architecture & Flow - design distributed data strategies including Event Sourcing and CQRS patterns, data synchronization across services, distributed data stores and replication.
 * Observability and Reliability Engineering - define system-wide observability strategy using tools such as Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Jaeger. Establish patterns for distributed tracing and correlation IDs.
 * Security & Compliance Architecture - define secure communication patterns (mTLS, zero-trust architectures), ensure secure integration across distributed services, support compliance requirements (e.g., FedRAMP, DoD standards, SOC2).
 * Cross-Team and Customer Collaboration - partner with engineering, DevOps, and security team both internally and with external customers (very important). Mentor senior engineers and provide architectural guidance. Participate in design reviews and technical decision-making.
