▷ (Urgent) Solutions Architect

Role: Seeking an experienced Client Software Architect with a strong background in C#, C++, Microsoft .NET, WCF, WPF, JavaScript, etc. to lead the design and development of innovative, high-performance software solutions. In this role, you will be responsible for architecting scalable and maintainable client-side applications, integrating industrial devices into the software ecosystem, and working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the successful delivery of products that meet both business and technical requirements. You will play a key role in setting the technical direction, mentoring developers, and ensuring the integration of best practices throughout the software development lifecycle. Key Responsibilities: 1. Software Architecture & Design: o Lead the design and architecture of complex client-side applications using C#, C++, .NET Core, and JavaScript (along with relevant front- end frameworks like React or Angular or Electron). o Create high-level and detailed architecture designs, ensuring they are scalable, secure, and maintainable across multiple platforms. o Design, document, and communicate architectural decisions to stakeholders, ensuring alignment with business goals and technical requirements. o Work with product managers and business stakeholders to understand user requirements and translate them into technical solutions. 2. Industrial Device Integration: o Design and implement integration solutions for industrial devices and systems (e.g., scanners, cameras, printers, PLCs, sensors, controllers, etc.) into enterprise software applications. o Utilize communication protocols like OPC, Modbus, MQTT, or proprietary device interfaces to facilitate seamless integration between software and industrial hardware. o Work with cross-functional teams to manage data flow from industrial devices and ensure that the software can process and analyse real- time data effectively. o Ensure the scalability, security, and reliability of industrial devices within the larger system architecture. 3. Leadership & Mentorship: o Provide technical leadership and mentorship to development teams, ensuring best practices in software engineering and design patterns are followed. o Guide and collaborate with team members on complex development tasks, code reviews, and problem-solving. o Promote and establish software design principles such as SOLID, DRY, and separation of concerns. 4. Cross-Functional Collaboration: o Collaborate closely with backend engineers, UI/UX designers, and product managers to ensure seamless integration between client-side and server-side systems. o Work with QA teams to ensure that code quality and performance meet industry standards and user expectations. o Lead and participate in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospective meetings. 5. Technology Evaluation & Implementation: o Evaluate and recommend new technologies, frameworks, and tools to improve development efficiency, system performance, and scalability. o Drive the adoption of modern software development practices, including CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, and automated testing frameworks. o Champion the use of .NET Core, C#, JavaScript, etc. to build robust and performant applications. 6. Performance & Scalability: o Ensure that the applications are optimized for high performance, responsiveness, and scalability. o Identify and resolve bottlenecks in the system architecture and codebase to enhance system performance. o Implement caching strategies, load balancing, and other performance optimization techniques. 7. Quality & Security: o Maintain high code quality by implementing code reviews, unit testing, and ensuring security best practices. o Ensure the application complies with security, privacy, and regulatory standards. o Continuously monitor and improve software development processes, tooling, and practices. 8. Client Engagement & Technical Support: o Interact with clients and stakeholders to understand their technical needs and provide solutions that align with their goals. o Provide technical support during the deployment and maintenance phases of the project lifecycle. o Address complex client-side issues and provide solutions to ensure client satisfaction. Required Qualifications:  Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering with 15+ years of experience in C#, C++, and Microsoft .NET stack (including .NET Core, WCF, WPF and ASP.NET).  5+ years of experience in a software architect or lead role with a focus on client-side applications and integration.  Strong experience with client-server architecture, RESTful APIs, JavaScript, and web technologies (HTML, CSS, front-end frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.js).  Significant experience with industrial device integration, including the integration of cameras, scanners, printers, PLCs, sensors, IoT devices, and other industrial hardware using protocols like OPC, Modbus, MQTT, and other industry-standard communication protocols.  Expertise in modern software development methodologies and design patterns (e.g., TFVC, MVC, MVVM, SOLID, etc.).  Deep understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) and principles of software design.  Experience with performance optimization and scalability best practices.  Strong knowledge of version control (e.g., Git), CI/CD practices, and automated testing frameworks.  Familiarity with cloud services and infrastructure (Azure, AWS, etc.) and how they relate to client applications.  Experience with frontend frameworks (e.g., Angular, React, Electron, etc.) for client-side development.  Proficiency with C++ for performance-critical applications, such as those requiring low-level system interactions.  Familiarity with industrial automation systems and IoT solutions.  Knowledge of Agile development methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and experience with project management tools (JIRA,TFVC Azure DevOps).  Familiarity with DevOps practices and tools, such as automated build pipelines and infrastructure as code.
