Job summary

BCS Technology International in Taguig, Philippines, seeks a Solutions Architect to own end-to-end architecture across mobile and backend systems and to design secure, scalable data flows. You will define API standards and lead integration patterns while guiding teams toward modern cloud-native solutions.

The role requires hands-on involvement, leading architecture reviews and ensuring readiness for high-traffic events, with a focus on observability, security, and performance.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in solutions architecture for high-scaled digital platforms.
• Deep expertise in Microservices and API-first design.
• Experience with system integration (REST, event-driven, messaging systems such as Kafka or Pub/Sub).
• Cloud platforms experience (GCP preferred; AWS acceptable).
• Ability to design for high concurrency, resiliency and performance at scale.
• Hands-on with mobile architectures (native/hybrid) and backend integrations.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end architecture across mobile (iOS/Android), backend microservices, and integration layers.
• Translate product requirements into scalable, secure, high-performance solutions.
• Define and enforce API standards, integration patterns, and data flows.
• Drive non-functional requirements: scalability, resiliency, performance, observability, and security.
• Lead architecture and design reviews, challenging weak or incomplete solutions.
• Ensure system readiness for high-traffic events (promos, campaigns, peak loads).
• Design for failure by default (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, fallbacks).
• Collaborate with product, UX, engineering, and external partners to align solutions.
• Identify and mitigate technical risks early before delivery impact.
• Guide teams in adopting modern architecture patterns (microservices, event-driven, cloud-native).
• Translate architecture into working code, prototypes, or technical spikes.
• Build reference implementations to validate API contracts, patterns, performance, and failure handling.
