Your responsibilities include:

• Act as the technical focal point of the project.
• Maintain and evolve the solution’s cloud‑native architecture, based on microservices, APIs, and event‑driven patterns, ensuring cloud‑agnosticism and support for Active‑Active topologies, with a critical and constructive mindset.
• Ensure that developments are aligned with the defined architecture, from solution design through to production deployment.
• Perform regular code reviews, promoting engineering best practices, clean code, and automated testing as guarantees of solution quality.
• Define and manage technical debt, prioritizing critical fixes and refactors.
• Ensure non‑functional quality attributes: performance, resilience, security, observability, and platform scalability.
• Support the design of high‑availability (active‑active) strategies, data consistency, and disaster recovery.
• Promote technical documentation (architecture, decisions, standards, development guides) and ensure its continuous update.

You must have:

• Cloud‑Native Architect: proven experience in designing distributed systems, microservices patterns, event‑driven architectures, containers, and container orchestration.
• Strong knowledge of microservices management and patterns (circuit breaker, saga, retries, API gateway, service discovery, observability patterns, service mesh, REST, gRPC, etc.).
• Hands‑on experience with event‑driven architectures and messaging/streaming (Pulsar, Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar technologies for asynchronous processing).
• Knowledge of active‑active topologies, geo‑distribution, fault tolerance, and high‑availability design.
• Experience with distributed databases and database engines (SQL and/or NoSQL), as well as data consistency models (eventual, strong, compensation patterns).
• Solid understanding of application and API security (authentication/authorization, OAuth2/OpenID Connect, secrets management, hardening).
• Experience with continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) tools and DevOps practices.

Nice to have:

• Experience with observability (centralized logging, metrics, distributed tracing) and SRE.
• Previous experience in payment solutions, instant payments, or mission‑critical financial systems.
• Knowledge of standards and formats in the payments domain (e.g., ISO 20022, SEPA Inst).
• Cloud and/or Cloud Architecture and/or Kubernetes certifications.

We offer:

• Integration into a dynamic and motivated team for the performance of the role.
• Salary package according to the role performed.
