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. Eight 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. How to Apply Would you like to know more about this opportunity?
