Your Role
As a Software architect with a strong AI coaching, you will lead the technical delivery of digital products end-to-end—hands-on when needed—while guiding teams toward scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions.
Key Responsibilities
•
Lead the design and evolution of technology solutions, ensuring scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.
•
Drive architectural decisions and trade-offs (e.g., microservices vs modular monolith), applying patterns such as DDD, Clean/Hexagonal Architecture, and event-driven approaches when relevant.
•
Design, build, and evolve REST APIs, including versioning, contract-first practices (OpenAPI), backward compatibility, and robust error handling.
•
Define and enforce engineering standards: clean code, testing strategy, code reviews, observability, security practices, and CI/CD.
•
Mentor and coach engineers, fostering a strong delivery culture and continuously raising the engineering bar.
•
Partner with Product, QA, UX, and stakeholders to refine scope, assess technical risks, shape the roadmap, and deliver incrementally.
•
Encourage AI-first engineering practices (Copilot/GenAI) with proper governance: quality gates, security, traceability, and testing.
Who You Are
•
10+ years of software engineering experience with proven technical leadership (Tech Lead, Lead Engineer, or strong senior with leadership responsibilities).
•
Strong backend expertise in Java (ideally 17/21/25+) with solid testing practices (e.g., JUnit/Mockito ) and performance awareness.
•
Proven ability to design and communicate software architecture: microservices/modular monoliths, Clean/Hexagonal, SOLID principles, integration patterns, and API design.
•
Strong engineering fundamentals: CI/CD, Git workflows, code review practices, observability (logs/metrics/traces), and a secure-by-design mindset.
