• Drive architectural decisions that ensure scalability, reliability, security, and performance.
• Establish engineering standards, best practices, and design principles across development teams.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and operations teams to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Participate hands-on in architecture reviews, system design, code reviews, troubleshooting, and performance optimization.
• Lead cloud-native and DevOps initiatives, ensuring efficient deployment, monitoring, and operational excellence.
• Promote and leverage AI-assisted development tools and practices to improve engineering productivity, code quality, and delivery velocity.

Required Qualifications:

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including architecture of large-scale distributed systems.
• Proven experience architecting production microservices systems.
• Deep understanding of cloud-native and containerized architectures.
• Hands-on Kubernetes experience, including scaling, resilience, networking, and operations.
• Experience using AI development tools and agents for design, implementation, troubleshooting, and architecture decisions.
• Strong DevOps background with extensive hands-on experience in Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform.
• Experience designing and governing CI/CD pipelines and deployment strategies.
• Strong understanding of networking concepts including DNS, TLS, routing, NAT, proxies, load balancing, and service-to-service communication.
• Experience designing secure systems and applying cloud security best practices.
• Experience with Azure services and cloud architecture patterns.
• Strong backend development experience with Node.js, NestJS, or similar technologies.
• Strong experience with MongoDB, including schema design, scalability, performance optimization, and operational considerations.
• Ability to evaluate and incorporate AI-assisted engineering practices into the software development lifecycle.
• Experience with observability, monitoring, logging, tracing, and incident response.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to influence technical direction across teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with real-time communication, SIP, VoIP, WebRTC, or telecom technologies.
• Experience architecting SaaS platforms.
