Job description

One blueprint. A platform millions will stand on. No second chances on the foundation.

RQMNA engineers the sovereign platforms that governments and large enterprises run on, built to carry an entire population's services.

We are hiring a Senior Software Architect, on site in Muscat, to design the foundation every other team builds on.

What you'll do:

Set the architecture, and the standards, that every team will build against.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define the platform's reference architecture across low code and custom services, with scalability, resilience, and security designed in from day one
• Set the engineering standards, patterns, and architectural guardrails every team builds against
• Make the major technology and build versus buy decisions, and capture them as Architecture Decision Records
• Lead architecture and design reviews, and govern technical quality across teams
• Translate complex requirements into architecture that holds at national, multitenant scale
• Partner with data, platform, integration, and security leadership to keep the full stack coherent
• Mentor senior engineers and grow architectural capability across the organization

What makes you a fit:

• You have designed and shipped large scale production systems, and have the scars and the wins to show for it
• You think in patterns: microservices, event driven and domain driven design, API first integration
• You move fluently across a polyglot stack, where low code platforms and custom services live in one coherent design
• You treat scalability, resilience, and security as design constraints from the start, never bolt ons
• You lead by raising everyone around you: setting standards, reviewing designs, mentoring
• You hold a Bachelor's or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
• You communicate sharply and align cross functional teams with ease
• Bonus points for government or enterprise digital transformation experience
• Fluent English required; Arabic is a valuable advantage
