Technical Architect – Java

Architecture & Design

• Own the end-to-end architecture and technical roadmap across one or more product lines.
• Design solutions that meet rigorous NFRs — scalability, security, reliability, performance, observability, and cost efficiency.
• Define and evolve architectural patterns (event-driven, API-led, microservices, batch, streaming) and select the right approach for each business problem.
• Lead architectural reviews, document decisions through ADRs (Architecture Decision Records), and ensure alignment with enterprise architecture standards.

Hands-On Engineering

• Write production-quality code for critical components, prototypes, and proof-of-concepts.
• Conduct code and design reviews; set the bar for code quality, testing rigor, and engineering craftsmanship.
• Troubleshoot complex production issues and partner with SRE/DevOps on incident response and root-cause analysis.

Modernization & Technical Debt Management

• Identify and prioritize technical debt across the platform; build and execute a modernization roadmap.
• Lead migration efforts from legacy frameworks and middleware to modern, cloud-native alternatives.
• Establish patterns for incremental modernization without disrupting customer-facing services.

Technical Leadership & Mentorship

• Mentor senior and mid-level engineers on system design, architectural thinking, and engineering best practices.
• Drive adoption of best practices in DevOps, CI/CD, automated testing, and observability across the team.
• Foster a culture of engineering excellence, continuous learning, and ownership.

Stakeholder Management & Strategy

• Partner with global product, engineering, and customer-facing leaders to align technical strategy with business goals.
• Translate business requirements into technical solutions and clearly communicate trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies (AI/ML, event streaming, service mesh) and bring insights back to inform the roadmap.
