Job Description:

We are looking for a Technical Architect with deep expertise in backend architecture.

Java-based technology stacks, and Spring Boot-based microservices. The ideal candidate should have experience designing and implementing scalable distributed systems and be proficient in containerization technologies.

A strong understanding of Azure/AWS cloud platforms is essential to drive cloud-native strategies and architecture modernization. Additionally, the candidate should have experience with AI-driven modernization of applications, leveraging machine learning, AI-powered analytics, and intelligent automation.

Key Responsibilities:

Define, design, and implement highly scalable, available, and secure backend architectures using Java, Spring Boot, and microservices.

Architect and develop distributed systems, ensuring performance, scalability, and fault tolerance.

Lead and mentor engineering teams in implementing best practices for microservices development and deployment.

Design and optimize APIs and event-driven architectures to support high-volume transactions.

Establish best practices for containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and

orchestration for scalable deployments.

Provide technical guidance on cloud adoption strategies (Azure/AWS), ensuring robust cloud-native architecture.

Design and implement Messaging Queues (MQ) and Kafka for efficient and scalable communication between microservices.

Develop and implement Caching strategies (e.g., Redis, Memcached) to optimize system performance and reduce latency.

Apply Design Patterns (e.g., Singleton, Factory, Observer) to build scalable and maintainable systems.

Define standards and governance for DevOps and CI/CD pipelines, ensuring automated and secure deployments.

Perform architecture reviews, performance tuning, and security assessments for backend applications.

Drive AI-based modernization of applications, integrating machine learning models and AI-driven analytics for predictive insights and automation.

Ensure secure coding practices are followed, implementing secure authentication, authorization, encryption, and secure API designs.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including DevOps, Product

Management and Security, to align business and technical objectives.

Stay up to date with emerging technologies, frameworks, and industry trends to drive innovation.

Collaborate with stakeholders to definene and design highly resilient architectures that can handle peak loads and scale effectively.

Required Skills & Experience:

12+ years of experience in backend development and architecture with Java-based technologies.

Strong expertise in Spring Boot, Microservices architecture, and Distributed Systems.

Hands-on experience with Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud- native deployment strategies.

Strong understanding of Event-Driven Architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.).

Proficiency in designing and optimizing RESTful APIs and GraphQL APIs.

Experience in NoSQL and Relational Databases such as MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL.

Expertise in performance tuning, caching mechanisms (Redis, Memcached), and API gateways.

Hands-on experience in Azure or AWS cloud services such as ECS, EKS, Lambda,

API Gateway, RDS, IAM, and networking components.

Experience with CI/CD automation, infrastructure as code (Terraform,

CloudFormation), and DevOps best practices.

Strong knowledge of security best practices, including authentication,

authorization, and data protection.

Ability to work in an Agile development environment, leading technical

discussions and mentoring teams.

Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to design solutions for complex business challenges.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with multi-region deployments and disaster recovery planning.

Familiarity with GraphQL, gRPC, or API Gateway implementations.

Knowledge of AI/ML integration in backend architectures is a plus.

Experience working in enterprise-level applications and large-scale

environments.

Certifications in AWS/Azure Architect roles are a plus.
