Must-have Skills & Technologies

• Distributed, microservices and event-driven architecture on Microsoft Azure (AKS, Event Hub, Key Vault).
• Workflow / orchestration engines — Temporal or equivalent (e.g. Cadence, Camunda) — and saga / long-running process patterns.
• API design (REST, async, webhooks) and integration patterns including MCP/A2P or comparable agent-to-agent / tool-calling protocols.
• Data architecture spanning lakehouse (Atlas Data Lake, Databricks), relational (Postgres, SQL), caching (Redis) and graph/ontology stores.
• AI/ML platform architecture — LLM orchestration, RAG, agentic frameworks (LangGraph), Azure AI Foundry. Security-by-design: identity, secrets, zero-trust service communication.

Prior Experience

• 10+ years in software engineering with 4+ years in an architect role on cloud-native platforms.
• Demonstrable ownership of a production distributed system on Azure at meaningful scale.
• Experience architecting AI or data-intensive platforms is strongly preferred.

Nice to Have

• Team Topologies / platform-engineering operating models; experience defining paved road contracts between central and stream-aligned teams.
