Software Architect

We're looking for a Software Architect to join central Architects Team - a small group of senior architects that partners with every R&D department in the company. In this role you won't own a single product silo; instead, you'll move across domains (payments, payroll, workforce management, platform, data, security) to help teams shape sound, scalable, secure systems and to keep overall technical direction coherent.This is a hands-on architecture role at the intersection of engineering, product, security, and DevOps. You'll be expected to dive deep into unfamiliar domains quickly, influence without direct authority, and bring the highest bar of technical thinking - including modern AI-assisted engineering practices - to everything you touch.If you're energized by hard problems at global scale, by working across many teams rather than one, and by shaping how a modern engineering organization actually builds software in the age of AI, this role is for you.Requirements: 8 years of proven experience as a System / Software Architect designing robust, scalable systems.12 years of hands-on software development experience, with strong proficiency in Java (preferred) or an equivalent backend language.Proven experience building enterprise SaaS platforms, self-service products, and highly scaled production systems.Experience in financial technology (FinTech) or other regulated industries is a strong advantage.Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.Technical depthDeep expertise in cloud-native architecture; strong advantage for AWS (Lambda, ECS, S3, RDS, IAM, etc.).Hands-on experience with microservices, event-driven architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS), and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).Strong command of software design patterns, SDLC, and system integration strategies.Expertise in design paradigms such as DDD, TDD, EDD, and principles like SOLID, KISS, DRY, SSOT, and CQS.Solid grasp of security fundamentals: encryption, authentication, authorization, data privacy, and secure coding practices.Proficiency with SQL and NoSQL databases, and API design using REST and GraphQL.Practical experience with Git branching strategies, CI/CD pipelines, and Agile development practices.This position is open to all candidates.
