Principal Software Architect

• Own the target software architecture for assigned products and translate product strategy into practical technical roadmaps, solution designs, and delivery priorities.
• Design end-to-end cloud applications across user interfaces, application services, APIs, workflows, integrations, data access, infrastructure, and operational support.
• Create and govern reusable architecture patterns, engineering standards, and decision records that promote consistency without slowing delivery.
• Shape modular, domain-aligned services and bounded contexts that improve ownership, reduce unnecessary coupling, and support the continued evolution of the product portfolio.
• Guide the design of microservices, serverless components, asynchronous workflows, and event-driven solutions using AWS managed services, selecting patterns based on clear technical and commercial trade-offs.
• Define secure and scalable API strategies for internal services, customer integrations, and third-party platforms, covering REST, GraphQL, versioning, authentication, reliability, and lifecycle management.
• Provide architectural direction for modern web applications built with .NET, C#, ASP.NET Core, TypeScript, Angular, React, and appropriate user-interface component libraries.
• Ensure non-functional requirements are designed in from the outset, including availability, performance, accessibility, observability, recoverability, security, privacy, and cost efficiency.
• Partner with security and platform teams on identity, authorization, encryption, secrets, tenant isolation, network controls, threat modeling, and compliance requirements.
• Influence CI/CD, automated testing, infrastructure-as-code, release, monitoring, and support practices so solutions can be deployed and operated safely at pace.
• Lead architecture reviews and proofs of concept, documenting options and recommendations in a way that enables timely, well-informed decisions.
• Coach engineers and technical leads, remaining close enough to implementation to identify risks, resolve design challenges, and improve engineering quality.
• Significant software engineering experience, including recent responsibility for architecture or technical leadership within AWS-based product environments.
• Demonstrated success designing and delivering cloud-native SaaS platforms, multi-tenant applications, or other complex enterprise software products.
• Strong hands-on knowledge of .NET, C#, ASP.NET Core, and modern front-end development using TypeScript with Angular or React.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, microservices, domain-driven design, event-driven architecture, serverless computing, and API design.
• Practical experience with AWS services such as Lambda, API Gateway, ECS, EKS, S3, Aurora, RDS, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, and CloudWatch.
• Experience designing for relational and NoSQL databases, including effective data-access patterns, performance considerations, and transactional boundaries.
• Experience with Docker and container orchestration, plus infrastructure as code using Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation.
• Strong understanding of secure software design, automated delivery, application testing, monitoring, tracing, and production support.
• Ability to communicate architecture choices and trade-offs clearly to engineers, product leaders, business stakeholders, and senior decision-makers.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• We are looking for a Software Architect to provide technical direction for the design and evolution of cloud-native software products on AWS.
