Descripción de la vacante

Canyon seeks a Senior Software Architect to drive the API and Clean Core Mandate, guiding teams on core versus Azure service boundaries and shaping API standards for our ecosystem, including a Native App via an Azure-based BFF.

The role is based at Canyon Tech Hub Barcelona, with onsite presence required at least 3 days per week. A track record in Azure-based architectures and API governance is essential.

Formación

• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 7+ years experience in software engineering, with at least 3 years in an architecture or senior technical leadership role.
• Proven track record in designing and deploying scalable architectures on Microsoft Azure, specifically utilizing Azure Container Apps (ACA), App Services, or Functions.
• Deep understanding of API design principles (REST, GraphQL, OpenAPI) and a strong advocate for contract-first development.

Responsabilidades

• Analyze the current integration landscape across SAP, Salesforce, and Azure backends to identify clean core violations and extraction opportunities.
• Establish and refine Canyon’s API design standards, including contract-first development, versioning, naming conventions, and lifecycle management.
• Create reference architectures for side-by-side extensions on SAP BTP, event-driven integrations from Salesforce, and Azure-based Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) layers for our native mobile applications.
• Define the criteria that help teams determine whether a requirement belongs in the platform core or an Azure microservice (focusing on reusability and upgradability).
• Drive the "extract when you touch" approach, helping teams plan the migration of existing platform customizations into modern Azure-hosted services.
• Own the architecture review process as an enforcement mechanism for the mandate, ensuring each service is a well-defined product with a clear API contract.
• Collaborate with Platform Engineering to shape microservice boilerplates, CI/CD templates, and Azure API Management configurations.
• Drive API governance by ensuring every service and its contract is registered in the Canyon service catalog with clear ownership and documentation.

THE ROLE

Canyon operates a diverse digital landscape spanning SAP S/4HANA, Salesforce (Commerce, Service, Marketing, and Data Cloud), IoT-connected bike platforms, and Azure cloud-native microservices. We have established a company-wide API & Clean Core Mandate: custom logic lives in microservices, exposed via APIs. We are looking for a Senior Software Architect to be the driving force behind this mandate - guiding teams on the boundaries between platform configuration and external services, designing the API standards that connect our ecosystem (including our Native App via Azure-based BFF), and enforcing the discipline that keeps our cores clean as we scale.

This role is based in our Canyon Tech Hub Barcelona, bringing together top tech talent to shape the future of cycling. Therefore, the local team needs you onsite at least 3 times a week.
