Job Summary : We are looking for a hands-on, high-impact Technical Architect (Platform Backend) to anchor the architecture, scaling, and continuous evolution of our core platform infrastructure. In this role, you will work at the intersection of high-throughput transactional systems and cloud-native architecture. You will drive high-level and low-level designs (HLD/LLD), establish engineering guardrails, optimize complex data pathways, and collaborate directly with product and engineering leaders to ensure absolute reliability, performance, and low latency at scale. Key Responsibilities : System Design & Architectural Leadership : - Own the end-to-end High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD) for core platform services, asynchronous processing components, and enterprise ERP/bank integration adapters. - Transition monolithic legacy boundaries smoothly into clean, highly cohesive microservices domains without impacting uptime or data integrity. - Establish architectural governance, lead Architecture Review Boards (ARBs), and review critical pull requests to safeguard code quality, clean architecture principles, and SOLID design patterns. Scalability, Performance & Reliability : - Architect multi-tenant, cloud-native frameworks capable of handling high-concurrency and petabyte-scale financial transactions with strict SLAs. - Diagnose and eliminate system bottlenecks across distributed transactions, locking models, memory management, and network payloads. - Oversee zero-trust security compliance, fault-tolerance mechanisms, automated failover policies, and disaster recovery readiness. Data & Integration Architecture : - Design robust relational (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and non-relational database schemas, complex indexing strategies, data partitioning models, and archival frameworks. - Scale event-driven architectures utilizing Apache Kafka or similar messaging systems to manage reliable real-time data streaming and asynchronous decoupling. - Optimize high-throughput caching architectures (using Redis) to minimize database overhead for intensive financial computations. Engineering Culture & Execution : - Act as a technical multiplier by mentoring senior engineers, driving proof-of-concepts (PoCs) for emerging tech, and cultivating an environment of fast, first-principles execution. - Work closely with Product Management to scope technical roadmaps, break down epic requirements into modular milestones, and mitigate technical debt proactively. Required Skills : - Experience : 12+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3 years' operating successfully in a Technical Architect or Principal Engineer capacity for enterprise SaaS products. - Core Backend Stack : Expert-level mastery of Java (Java 17+), Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and enterprise-grade backend frameworks. Deep understanding of JVM internals, garbage collection tuning, multi-threading, and high-concurrency programming models. - Distributed Systems & Messaging : Proven experience building distributed microservices, RESTful APIs, gRPC, and event-driven architectures using Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ. - Database & Storage Expertise : Advanced proficiency in SQL and NoSQL storage engines (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis). Hands-on capability with query execution plans, partitioning, and database tuning under heavy write/read loads. - Cloud & DevOps Infrastructure : Solid production experience with AWS (or Azure/GCP), containerization technologies (Docker), cluster orchestration (Kubernetes), and enterprise CI/CD deployment pipelines. Behavioral Attributes : - High agency, low ego, strong bias for action, and adherence to first-principles problem-solving.
