Lead Application Architect

Key Responsibilities

• System Design: Architect end-to-end solutions that are scalable, resilient, and secure, utilizing microservices, serverless, or modular monolith patterns as appropriate.


• Hands-on Development: Lead by example by contributing to critical-path code, developing POCs (Proof of Concepts).


• Tech Stack Ownership: Evaluate and select frontend frameworks, backend languages, and database technologies. Stay ahead of 2026 trends (e.g., AI integration, Edge computing).


• Cloud & DevOps Strategy: Design CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure (Azure/GCP) that emphasize automation, observability, and cost-efficiency. Mainly looking for Azure/GCP skills.


• Security & Compliance: Ensure "security by design" is baked into the application layer (OAuth, JWT, data encryption, and OWASP standards).


• Mentorship: Conduct high-impact code reviews and provide technical leadership to junior and senior developers alike.

Technical Requirements

1. Backend & API Design

• Proficiency in at least two major ecosystems (e.g., Node.js/TypeScript, Go, Python/FastAPI).

Soft Skills & Experience

• Experience: 5+ years in software engineering, with at least 2-3 years in a leadership or architectural capacity.

• Decision Making: Ability to explain the "Why" behind a technical choice to non-technical stakeholders.
