Senior Software Architect

We are looking for a Senior Architect to lead design and integration of a next-gen data center operations platform. Focus: unifying BMS, DCIM, CMMS, and related critical systems. Heavy emphasis on proven technical leadership and real-world data center / mission-critical systems exposure. Tech stack is still flexible (modern languages/patterns valued over any single framework). Ideal for candidates who have architected or integrated OT/IT systems in data centers, hyperscale, colocation, or large enterprise facilities environments. Location: LATAM 100% Remote . Working hours are based on the US Central-Pacific Time Zone, with at least 6 working hours of overlap. About Us : Abstra is a fast-growing, Nearshore Tech Talent services company, providing top Latin American tech talent to U.S. companies and beyond.

Key Responsibilities: Define reference architecture and integration strategy for a unified data center management platform. Design robust connections between BMS, DCIM, CMMS, and adjacent systems (SCADA, IoT, analytics). Establish standards for scalability, reliability, security, and 24/7 mission-critical performance. Lead architecture reviews, mentor engineers, and drive cross-functional alignment. Evaluate vendors and emerging tech; run proofs-of-concept; balance build vs. buy. Translate operational pain points (energy efficiency, predictive maintenance, incident response) into scalable solutions. Required Qualifications: 8–10+ years systems/software architecture experience, including 5+ years in data center operations, critical infrastructure, or industrial OT environments. Demonstrated leadership: led architecture for complex multi-system integrations; mentored senior engineers; influenced technical direction across teams. Hands-on experience developing or integrating BMS, DCIM, and/or CMMS platforms (or very close analogs) in production. Strong distributed systems & integration skills (APIs, event-driven architectures, high-availability design, time-series data). Deep knowledge of data center fundamentals: power, cooling, capacity planning, environmental monitoring, and operational workflows. Excellent communicator who bridges technical and operational stakeholders. Preferred Qualifications: Direct experience with major platforms (Schneider EcoStruxure, Siemens, Nlyte, Modius, IBM Maximo, etc.). Background in hyperscale/colocation operators or enterprise mission-critical facilities. Familiarity with IoT protocols, digital twins, or AI/ML for facilities optimization. Modern stack exposure (Node.js, Rust, Go, Python, cloud-native patterns) What We Offer: Flexible working hours and remote work options. Opportunities for professional growth and development. A collaborative and inclusive work environment. The chance to work on impactful projects with a talented team. Excellent compensation in USD. Hardware and software setup (mandatory).
