Senior Software Architect

Location: Chennai, Tamil NaduJob Type: Full-TimeJob SummaryWe are seeking a highly experienced and visionary Senior Software Architect to lead the design and development of our next-generation 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) application. This pivotal role involves architecting a sophisticated, scalable, and high-performance solution that operates seamlessly across desktop, cloud, and hybrid environments. The ideal candidate will be a master of C# .NET, possess deep knowledge of 3D graphics and geometry, and have a proven track record of designing complex software systems for the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry. ️Key Responsibilities- Architectural Design & Strategy: Lead the high-level architectural design and technical roadmap for our 3D BIM application. Define the core framework, components, and APIs for desktop (e.g., WPF/WinForms), cloud (e.g., ASP.NET Core, Blazor), and hybrid deployments. - Technology Leadership: Evaluate, prototype, and recommend key technologies, libraries, and platforms. Drive decisions on 3D rendering engines (e.g., OpenGL, DirectX, WebGL), geometry kernels, cloud services (AWS/Azure), and database solutions. - System Performance & Scalability: Design solutions optimized for handling large-scale 3D models and complex BIM data. Ensure the architecture is robust, scalable, and maintainable. - Code Quality & Best Practices: Establish and enforce best practices for coding standards, design patterns (e.g., MVVM, MVC), and software development lifecycle (SDLC) processes. Mentor and guide senior and junior engineers. - Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, UX/UI designers, and development teams to translate functional requirements into robust technical designs. Collaborate with DevOps to create and manage CI/CD pipelines. - BIM/CAD Integration: Architect solutions for interoperability with industry-standard formats and APIs like IFC, Revit API, Navisworks, and other AEC software.Required Qualifications- Experience: 10+ years of professional software development experience, with at least 4 years in a software architect or principal engineer role. - Core Technical Skills: - Expert proficiency in C# and the .NET Framework / .NET Core. - Strong experience in designing and building large-scale desktop applications (WPF, WinForms). - Proven experience with cloud architecture and services on AWS or Azure. - 3D Graphics & Geometry: - Solid understanding of 3D computer graphics principles and rendering pipelines (OpenGL, DirectX, or WebGL). - Experience working with 3D geometry libraries or kernels (e.g., Open CASCADE, ACIS, Parasolid). - AEC Industry Experience: - Demonstrable experience with BIM/CAD software development. - Hands-on experience with APIs such as Revit API, Navisworks API, or standards like IFC. - Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.Preferred Qualifications- Experience with microservices architecture and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes). - Familiarity with web-based 3D visualization libraries like Three.js or Babylon.js. - Knowledge of database design for handling complex, hierarchical data (SQL and NoSQL). - Experience with Agile/Scrum development methodologies. - Familiarity with performance optimization and multi-threading for compute-intensive applications. - Contributions to open-source projects in the AEC or 3D graphics space.Interested persons may send CV to hr@viskartech.com
