Position Summary

Blue Yonder Defense Solutions (BYDS) isseeking a Distributed Systems / Integration Architectto lead the design and evolution of our next-generation, enterprise-scale platform. This role will define architectural patterns for distributed computing, event-driven systems, and enterprise integration, ensuring scalability, resilience, and interoperability across a complex ecosystem of internal and external systems.

The ideal candidate combines deep technicalexpertisein distributed systemswith strong experience in messaging frameworks, integration patterns, and cloud-native architectures, and can translate business requirements into robust, scalable system designs.

Key Responsibilities

• Architecture Leadership -- define and evolve the reference architecture for distributed, event-driven, and integration-centric systems.Establish architecture principles, standards, and design patterns across engineering teams.Lead system design for high-scale, mission-critical applications.
• Distributed Systems Design- design systems that can handle high throughput and large-scale data processing, fault tolerance and resiliency, scalability and performance optimization, and eventual consistency and distributed transactions.
• Enterprise Integration & Messaging- architect solutions based on Enterprise Integration Patterns such as publish/subscribe, message routing and transformation, and event driven workflows. Have a deep understanding of messaging platforms such as Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, Apache ActiveMQ, etc. Define strategies for message durability and replay, schema evolution and event versioning, dead-letter handling and recovery, etc.
• API & Service Architecture- define standards for API design and governance (REST,gRPC,asynAPIs), architect service-to-service communication models (synchronous vs. asynchronous), guide implementation of API gateways and service meshes.
• Cloud-Native & Platform Architecture- design systemsleveragingDocker, Kubernetes. Define architecture for multi-region deployments, high availability and disaster recovery, Infrastructure-as-Code using tools like Ansible (preferred) and Terraform
• Data Architecture & Flow- design distributed data strategies including Event Sourcing and CQRS patterns, data synchronization across services, distributed datastoresand replication.
• Observability and Reliability Engineering - define system-wide observability strategy using tools such as Prometheus,OpenTelemetry, Jaeger. Establish patterns for distributed tracing and correlation IDs.
• Security & Compliance Architecture- define secure communication patterns (mTLS, zero-trust architectures), ensure secure integration across distributed services, support compliance requirements (e.g., FedRAMP, DoD standards, SOC2).
• Cross-Teamand CustomerCollaboration- partner with engineering, DevOps, and security team both internally and with external customers (very important). Mentor senior engineers andprovidearchitectural guidance. Participate in design reviews and technical decision-making.

RequiredQualifications

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with significant focus on distributed systems architecture.
• Proven experience designing large-scale, distributed, and event-driven systems
• Strong technical understanding of Java based microservices architecture and API gateways
• Strong experience design event riven architecture messaging platforms such as Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ.
• Deep understanding of Enterprise Integration Patterns and Data Flows
• Experience with cloud-native platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Strong knowledge of microservices architecture and API design.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Solid understanding of data architecture in distributed environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with designing and integration in Supply chain world
• Familiarity with concepts from:Designing Data-Intensive Applications,Enterprise Integration Patterns
• Experience in regulated environments(FedRAMP, DoD, defense systems).
