Job Summary
We are seeking a seasoned Software Architect to join the Intelligent Commerce Services (ICS) platform team. ICS is a distributed microservices ecosystem powering a subscription commerce platform — encompassing the full order lifecycle from address screening and fulfillment through billing, subscription management, partner compensation, returns, and reporting. This role requires deep technical expertise, hands-on systems design capability, and the ability to bridge business requirements with scalable, secure, cloud-native architecture.

• Define API contracts across REST (Spring Boot) and SOAP/JAXB interfaces; govern versioning strategy across multiple API versions boundaries
• Design and implement high-performance, cloud-native microservices in Golang alongside JVM-based services
• Architect resilient retry, fallback, and recovery flows using Spring Retry, scheduler-based job pipelines, and DLQ patterns
• Evaluate and guide decisions on data persistence strategy across MongoDB, relational databases, and Redis caching layers

​Technical Leadership

• Lead architectural reviews for new features, integrations, and cross-service dependencies
• Define and enforce standards for authentication (SSO/IdP, OAuth2 scopes, HMAC signatures, custom authorization), authorization, and secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager, ACM)
• Collaborate with engineering leads across multiple ICS domains
• Mentor junior engineers in distributed systems design, domain-driven decomposition, and event sourcing patterns

Integration & Compliance

• Oversee third-party integrations including payment processors, billing platforms, API gateways, tax engines, logistics providers, and claims management systems
• Ensure architecture satisfies security and trade compliance requirements
• Review and approve all SSRF, injection, broken access control, and data integrity mitigations as part of OWASP Top 10 governance

Operational Excellence

• Define observability standards: structured logging, alerting, and distributed tracing across the microservices mesh
• Partner with DevOps on Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD pipeline design with integrated security scanning
• Establish SLA/SLO targets and design for graceful degradation when upstream dependencies are unavailable

Education & Experience Recommended

Knowledge & Skills

• Deep expertise in Java / Spring Boot microservices architecture
• Proficiency in Golang for building high-performance, cloud-native microservices
• Proven experience designing event-driven systems using message brokers (RabbitMQ, Solace, or equivalent)
• Strong command of MongoDB data modeling, Redis caching patterns, and relational database design
• Hands-on experience with REST API design, versioning, and governance; familiarity with SOAP/WSDL integration
• Experience with cloud-native deployment on Kubernetes; AWS services (Secrets Manager, ACM, IAM)
• Working knowledge of OAuth2 / OIDC, scope-based authorization, and HMAC-based webhook security
• Strong understanding of subscription commerce or billing platform domains (subscription lifecycle, plan changes, payments, refunds, overage billing)

Cross-Org Skills

• Systems thinker who can reason about failure modes, eventual consistency, and distributed transaction boundaries
• Effective communicator who can present architecture decisions to both engineering teams and business stakeholders
• Security-minded — proactively identifies and mitigates OWASP Top 10 risks in platform design
• Comfortable navigating large, legacy-integrated codebases while driving toward modernization
