Job Summary:
We are seeking a seasoned Microservices Architect to lead the design and evolution of large-scale microservices ecosystems built on modern container platforms and cloud-native technology stacks. The role requires deep expertise in service decomposition, domain-driven design, distributed data management, and runtime concerns such as resilience, observability, and security at scale. The ideal candidate brings hands-on architectural leadership across complex transformations, with a clear point of view on when microservices are the right answer, how to evolve them safely, and how to keep the resulting estate maintainable over the long term.
Key Responsibilities
Define microservices architecture standards, service boundaries, and decomposition strategies aligned with domain-driven design principles
Lead the modernization of legacy monoliths into well-bounded, independently deployable services with clear ownership
Design service communication patterns leveraging REST, gRPC, asynchronous messaging, and event streaming as appropriate
Establish API contracts, schema governance, and versioning strategies that enable safe evolution of services over time
Architect resilient distributed systems incorporating circuit breakers, retries, bulkheads, and graceful degradation patterns
Define data ownership models, transactional boundaries, and patterns such as outbox, saga, and CQRS where appropriate
Lead the design of platform capabilities including service mesh, API gateway, identity propagation, and shared observability
Drive performance engineering, capacity planning, and scalability analysis across critical service domains
Establish CI/CD, testing, and deployment standards optimized for high-frequency, low-risk service releases
Define observability standards including structured logging, distributed tracing, and SLO-driven monitoring
Collaborate with security teams to ensure zero-trust principles, secrets management, and runtime protection are embedded
Mentor engineers and tech leads on microservices best practices and anti-pattern avoidance
Lead architecture reviews and provide guidance on service design proposals across multiple teams
Continuously evaluate emerging cloud-native technologies for adoption based on maturity and strategic fit
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related discipline
12 or more years of software engineering experience, with several years in architecture roles
Deep expertise in microservices design, domain-driven design, and distributed systems patterns
Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration, and service mesh technologies
Proficiency in at least one major backend language such as Java, Go, or C#
Strong understanding of API design, event-driven architectures, and asynchronous messaging
Experience operating high-traffic, latency-sensitive systems in production
Strong knowledge of cloud platforms and managed services across at least one major provider
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
Demonstrated ability to lead architecture initiatives spanning multiple teams
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with platform engineering and internal developer platform construction
Familiarity with Istio, Linkerd, Envoy, or comparable service mesh technologies
Exposure to FinOps practices and cloud cost optimization at scale
Public speaking, open-source contributions, or published technical writing
Experience in regulated industries with strict compliance requirements
