This role requires a strong engineering foundation, architectural depth, and pragmatic decision-making to design and evolve enterprise-grade software systems that are scalable, maintainable, secure, and production-ready.The ideal candidate will work across multiple enterprise product lines to define architecture, guide implementation, modernize legacy systems where needed, and ensure strong engineering quality across backend, frontend, APIs, databases, and container platforms. This is not a diagram-only architect role. We are looking for someone who can make sound technical decisions and also engage directly in design reviews, coding, troubleshooting, and technical mentoring.Key Responsibilities1. Architecture & Solution DesignDesign end-to-end architecture for enterprise applications using Java-based backend services, modern UI frameworks, and containerized deployment modelsDefine scalable and maintainable architectural patterns for microservices, modular monoliths, APIs, event-driven components, and web applicationsTranslate business and product requirements into practical technical designs with clear trade-off analysisLead architecture decisions around performance, scalability, resiliency, observability, extensibility, and operational supportabilityDrive modernization of legacy systems into more maintainable and cloud/container-friendly architecturesEstablish reference architectures, coding standards, and reusable design patterns across teams2. Full Stack Engineering LeadershipProvide hands-on technical leadership across the full stack:Backend services in Java 17+ / Spring BootFrontend applications in Angular / React / TypeScriptAPI and integration layers using REST, GraphQL, messaging, and service contractsReview and contribute to production-quality code across backend and frontend componentsGuide teams on domain modeling, service boundaries, shared libraries, secure API design, and UI integration patternsPartner closely with product management, engineering, QA, DevOps, and support teams to deliver robust solutionsResolve complex technical issues spanning application code, infrastructure, deployment, and runtime environments3. Containerization & Platform EnablementDesign and standardize containerization strategies for enterprise applications using DockerArchitect deployment patterns for Kubernetes/OpenShift and other container orchestration environmentsDefine best practices for container builds, image optimization, runtime configuration, secrets handling, service discovery, and health monitoringGuide application teams on migrating traditional deployments to container-based platformsImprove deployment consistency, portability, scalability, and operational efficiency through container-first engineering practicesCollaborate with DevOps/platform teams to enable CI/CD, environment promotion, and production readiness for containerized workloads4. Engineering Quality, Security & PerformanceDrive strong engineering discipline across architecture and implementationDefine standards for:Code quality and maintainabilityAutomated testingSecure development practicesPerformance and scalability testingProduction monitoring and troubleshootingEnsure architecture decisions account for operational needs such as logging, tracing, alerting, rollback, and incident diagnosisReview designs and implementations for security, resiliency, and compliance considerationsMentor teams in building systems that are not just functional, but supportable and reliable in production5. Technical Mentorship & Cross-Team CollaborationMentor senior engineers and development teams on architecture, design patterns, clean code, and modern engineering practicesAct as a technical authority across multiple teams and product linesFacilitate design reviews, architecture reviews, and implementation planning sessionsHelp teams make disciplined choices rather than chasing unnecessary
