Job description

• - Design robust distributed application architectures using Python, core Java, and microservices that deliver scalable and maintainable enterprise solutions for complex business needs and must have worked using GenAI tools.
• - Define high level and detailed technical blueprints that translate business requirements into clear implementation patterns, ensuring reusability, modularity, and long term adaptability.
• - Evaluate existing systems and services to identify architectural gaps, technical debt, and opportunities for modernization, proposing practical migration strategies that minimize risk and downtime.
• - Guide end to end solution design covering application, data, integration, and security layers to ensure consistent standards, compatibility, and compliance across the technology landscape.
• - Collaborate with product and engineering teams to shape technical features and APIs, ensuring microservices interact efficiently and support future enhancements without fragile dependencies.
• - Establish coding practices and architectural guardrails for Python and core Java services, promoting clean code, performance optimization, and reliable error handling for production robustness.
• - Review design documents, sequence diagrams, and interface contracts to validate that microservices follow agreed principles and support smooth deployment into hybrid environments.
• - Conduct technical assessments of new tools, frameworks, and cloud native patterns that can strengthen microservices resilience, scalability, and observability while optimizing cost and resource usage.
• - Mentor senior developers on architectural patterns such as domain driven design, event based communication, and service decomposition, helping teams deliver solutions aligned with enterprise direction.
• - Partner with stakeholders to incorporate pricing optimization concepts into solution design where relevant, enabling data driven decision flows that improve margins and customer satisfaction.
• - Ensure non functional requirements such as performance, security, reliability, and maintainability are built into architectural decisions, using benchmarks and design reviews to validate outcomes.
• - Document architectural decisions, integration approaches, and service boundaries clearly so that distributed teams can implement and maintain solutions consistently in a hybrid work model.
• - Coordinate with operations and platform teams to ensure architectures support efficient monitoring, incident response, and continuous improvement for day shift delivery and support.
• - Develop and support Java & Python microservices for enterprise applications.
• - Preferred certifications include AWS Certified Solutions Architect or equivalent cloud architecture certification relevant to microservices based solutions.
• - Must have worked on the projects using GenAI based projects and have AI based skills.
