Descrição da oferta de emprego

Responsibilities

• Define and structure legacy components, microservices and APIs, ensuring cohesion, low coupling and sustainable evolution of systems.
• Establish development standards, design patterns (SOLID, Clean Architecture, DDD) and practices to continuously reduce technical debt.
• Translate business requirements into scalable, secure and cost-effective technical solutions.
• Conduct technical and architectural reviews, identifying risks and opportunities for improvement.
• Implement and evolve internal developer portals (IDP) such as Backstage (Spotify/CNCF), centralizing the service catalog, technical documentation (TechDocs) and scaffolding templates.
• Define and maintain the IDP Software Catalog, ensuring visibility and governance over all services, APIs and platform components.
• Create and maintain Software Templates (golden paths) to standardize the creation of new services, environments and pipelines with best practices embedded.
• Develop and integrate custom plugins for Backstage to connect internal tools (CI/CD, observability, cloud, ticketing, security).
• Promote a self-service culture, reducing squads' cognitive load and accelerating onboarding of new developers.
• Evaluate and recommend complementary or alternative IDP solutions (Port, Cortex, Roadie, OpsLevel) according to platform maturity.
• Design, implement and maintain continuous integration and delivery pipelines (CI/CD) with a focus on quality, traceability and speed.
• Integrate automated tests (unit, integration and security) into CI/CD pipelines.
• Design and govern advanced deployment strategies: Blue/Green, Canary and Feature Flags.
• Integrate security tools (SAST/DAST) continuously into the development lifecycle, ensuring security without operational friction.
• Ensure adherence to security best practices: authentication, authorization and OWASP Top 10.
• Implement and automate observability strategies: logs, metrics and distributed tracing (New Relic, ELK stack, Prometheus, Grafana).
• Support the definition of IaC strategies and infrastructure automation.
• Mentor and guide developers on architectural and software engineering best practices.
• Act as the technical reference within the squad, collaborating with product, business and infrastructure teams.
• Actively participate in agile ceremonies, contributing technical and architectural perspectives.
