• Design and oversee the integration of diverse systems, including legacy platforms (WebLogic, IBM MQ) and modern cloud services.
• Champion Domain-Driven Design principles to ensure solutions are modular, maintainable, and reflect core business domains.
• Drive the adoption and optimal utilization of Microsoft Azure services, including Application Gateway and Redis, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security.
• Design and implement event streaming solutions using Kafka, fostering asynchronous communication and real-time data processing.
• Leverage Kubernetes for container orchestration, ensuring efficient deployment, scaling, and management of microservices.
• Define performance and scalability requirements and ensure architectural designs meet these non-functional criteria.
• Create and maintain comprehensive architectural documentation, including design specifications, diagrams, and technical standards.
• Mentor and guide junior architects and developers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
• Effectively communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What you\'ll need to succeed in this role

• At least 8+ years of proven commercial experience with Java development and strong proficiency in Oracle database technologies, including performance tuning and schema design.
• Extensive experience in designing and implementing solutions across both modern, cloud-native architectures and legacy systems.
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure services, including but not limited to Azure Compute, Networking, Storage, Azure Application Gateway, and Azure Cache for Redis.
• Event streaming and messaging experience, strong understanding, and practical experience with Kafka for building event-driven architectures, as well as traditional messaging systems like IBM MQ.
• Solid experience with Kubernetes for deploying and managing containerized applications.
• Experience with WebLogic Server for deploying and managing enterprise Java applications.
• Expert knowledge of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles and their application in real-world projects.
• Experience designing RESTful APIs and other integration patterns.
• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex issues across distributed systems.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly and concisely.
• Proven ability to lead and influence technical teams and stakeholders.
