About the Tech Lead / Architect
This role focuses on defining and evolving our sophisticated microservices architecture, establishing architectural patterns, and leading technical initiatives across frontend, backend, and infrastructure teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, evolve, and govern a scalable microservices architecture, including service boundaries and integration patterns.
- Define and enforce architectural standards, coding guidelines, and best practices across engineering teams.
- Evaluate, select, and standardize technologies, frameworks, and tooling aligned with long-term platform strategy.
- Create reusable architectural patterns, reference implementations, and clearly defined golden paths.
- Produce and maintain comprehensive architecture documentation, including ADRs, system diagrams, and technical specifications.
Technical Leadership & Collaboration
- Partner with frontend, backend, and DevOps teams to ensure architectural alignment and consistency.
- Participate in architectural and design reviews, providing guidance on complex technical decisions.
- Mentor senior engineers and serve as a technical leader across the organization.
- Lead architecture reviews, technical workshops, and internal knowledge-sharing sessions.
- Contribute to the technical roadmap, platform evolution strategy, and technology adoption decisions.
- Design platform-wide performance optimization strategies, including caching, scalability patterns, and resource efficiency.
- Define security architecture baselines, covering authentication, authorization, and data protection.
- Architect end-to-end observability solutions, including metrics, logging, monitoring, and distributed tracing.
- Identify, prioritize, and drive remediation of technical debt across the platform.
- Proactively identify architectural risks and design mitigation strategies to ensure system reliability and resilience.
- Design and enforce tenant isolation, data security, and boundary enforcement mechanisms.
- Define tenant-aware routing, schema management, and data access patterns.
- Architect tenant validation frameworks, authorization checks, and security controls.
- Ensure scalable resource allocation and performance optimization in a multi-tenant environment.
- Define service boundaries, domain models, and inter-service communication patterns.
- Design and govern RESTful and GraphQL APIs, including versioning and integration strategies.
- Architect event-driven systems, including message queues and asynchronous processing.
- Define service mesh patterns such as service discovery, load balancing, and circuit breakers.
- Design AWS cloud architecture, including multi-account strategies and cost optimization.
- Define Infrastructure as Code standards using Terraform, including secure state management.
- Architect containerization and orchestration strategies.
- Design secure and scalable CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, and environment promotion models.
Observability Architecture
- Design distributed tracing solutions using OpenTelemetry and Jaeger.
- Define metrics, dashboards, and alerting strategies using Prometheus and Grafana.
- Establish structured logging, log aggregation, and analysis standards.
- Define SLOs, error budgets, and reliability targets across services.
Critical Architectural Challenges to Address
- Security: JWT validation, tenant isolation, rate limiting, input validation, credential management.
- Performance: Connection pooling, caching strategies, query optimization, frontend performance budgets.
- Observability: End-to-end tracing, correlation IDs, metrics completeness, alerting maturity.
- Multi-Tenancy: Prevent cross-tenant access and enforce strong validation mechanisms.
You will lead the architectural design and execution of solutions addressing these challenges.
Service-Specific Architecture Ownership
- API Gateway: Routing, security, performance, and observability patterns.
- Identity Service: OAuth2, JWT, RBAC, multi-tenant authentication and authorization.
- GraphQL Services: Schema design, resolver optimization, query performance, and security controls.
- RFQ & Workflow Services: Event-driven procurement workflows and integrations.
- Data Upload Services: Streaming, memory optimization, scalability, and security controls.
- AI Services: Secure and scalable AI integrations, async processing, tenant isolation, and performance optimization.
