Software Architect

Application Design & Architecture

• Lead the architecture and design of complex software applications, ensuring they are scalable, modular, and performant.

• Develop high-level application designs, including system components, integrations, and technologies.

• Ensure that solutions align with the company s long-term technical vision, business goals, and industry standards.

• Collaborate with stakeholders (product owners, business leaders, development teams) to define system requirements and create architecture roadmaps.

Technology Stack Decision:

• Evaluate, select, and implement appropriate technologies for system development (primarily Java , Node.js , and React.js ).

• Oversee the development and optimization of the full-stack architecture for both backend and frontend systems.

• Continuously review emerging technologies, tools, and trends and incorporate them into the technology stack to enhance performance, security, and scalability.

Design and Review Code:

• Set coding standards and best practices for the development team to ensure high-quality and maintainable code.

• Review and approve designs, code, and architectural solutions from a technical and strategic perspective.

• Provide feedback and guidance to developers to optimize the development process, code quality, and scalability.

Backend Architecture (Java, Node.js):

• Design and develop backend services using Java (Spring Boot, Hibernate) and Node.js for scalable, high-performance applications.

• Design and implement RESTful APIs and microservices architecture.

• Architect and optimize databases, message queues, and other backend systems.

• Work closely with DevOps teams to ensure seamless deployment, scalability, and monitoring.

Frontend Architecture (React.js):

• Lead the design and development of frontend architectures using React.js to build intuitive and responsive web applications.

• Design component-based architectures and implement reusable, maintainable, and scalable UI components.

• Integrate frontend applications with backend APIs and services, ensuring optimal performance and user experience.

• Collaborate with the UX/UI team to ensure a seamless, user-centric experience.

Collaboration and Leadership:

• Act as a mentor for junior and mid-level developers, providing technical leadership and guidance on best practices, development tools, and methodologies.

• Work closely with product managers, designers, and other teams to ensure that business and technical requirements are clearly defined and addressed in the software design.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define project requirements, timelines, and deliverables.

System Performance & Scalability:

• Ensure that the architecture supports both current and future business needs, focusing on performance, scalability, and fault tolerance.

• Optimize the architecture to handle growing data volumes, concurrent users, and high traffic loads.

• Implement and oversee performance testing, load balancing, and optimization strategies for both frontend and backend systems.

Security & Compliance:

• Ensure the architecture adheres to security best practices, data privacy regulations, and compliance requirements.

• Conduct security audits and assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities and mitigate risks.

• Implement secure coding practices and ensure that all code is thoroughly tested for security issues.

Continuous Improvement:

• Drive continuous improvements in architecture, processes, and practices.

• Stay up-to-date with industry trends, tools, and technologies, and apply this knowledge to improve the software development process.

• Promote a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and problem-solving within the team.

• Proven experience as a Software Architect , with a strong background in Java , Node.js , and React.js .

• Solid understanding of system architecture , design patterns , and best practices for software development.

• Experience with microservices architecture , RESTful APIs , and cloud-based systems (AWS, Azure, GCP).

• Strong knowledge of frontend technologies, particularly React.js , including component-based architecture and state management (e.g., Redux , Context API ).

• In-depth experience with backend development using Java (Spring Boot, Hibernate) and Node.js .

• Expertise in database design and optimization (SQL, NoSQL, and other storage solutions).

• Familiarity with DevOps practices, including containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) tools.

• Proven experience designing and optimizing scalable, high-performance systems.

• Strong understanding of cloud platforms and building cloud-native applications.

• Experience with version control systems like Git and project management tools like Jira .

• Exceptional problem-solving and debugging skills.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and handle multiple priorities.

• Experience with microservices orchestration tools like Kubernetes and Docker .

• Experience with serverless architectures and event-driven programming .

• Familiarity with Agile methodologies and experience working in Agile teams.

• Knowledge of security frameworks (OAuth, JWT, etc.) and secure coding practices .

• Previous experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation tools.

• Experience with graph databases (e.g., Neo4j ) or time-series databases (e.g., InfluxDB ) is a plus.
