As a qualified expert, You will
- Solve strategic engineering problems hands on. Explore technologies, build prototypes, and produce reference implementations that make architectural qualities and tradeoffs observable.
- Design and deliver working software. Architect, implement, test, and maintain services and platform components, including backend systems and architecture-related frontend concerns such as micro-frontend patterns.
- Automate architectural conformance. Design and implement AI-based architectural conformance checks and fitness functions that continuously evaluate whether systems follow agreed principles, patterns, and quality constraints.
- Turn ambiguity into an executable approach. Break complex problems into bounded areas, apply domain-driven design, and select a practical course of action when information or precedent is limited.
- Define measurable quality goals. Establish and continuously evaluate requirements for performance, scalability, reliability, security, availability, recoverability, maintainability, portability, usability, and extensibility.
- Document architecture evolution. Describe the current state, target state, transition steps, constraints, alternatives, and decisions in forms that engineering teams can use.
- Make explicit engineering tradeoffs. Provide balanced recommendations on build versus buy, now versus later, and refactor versus rebuild, including cost and operational implications.
- Create reusable engineering patterns. Develop scaffolding, templates, reference architectures, or platform capabilities that teams can adopt without depending on the Staff Software Engineer long term.
- Guide delivery teams. Perform architecture and design reviews, coach engineers through difficult decisions, and enable teams to make high-quality choices independently.
- Communicate for the audience. Explain technical context clearly to engineers, technical leaders, product managers, and business stakeholders, and incorporate useful feedback.
We’re looking for you if you have
- A degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- At least 6 years of experience in software engineering using Java or a comparable object-oriented language.
- At least 3 years developing microservices and experience building distributed or event-driven systems in the cloud.
- Practical knowledge of service-oriented architecture, domain-driven design, clean architecture, hexagonal architecture, and common architecture patterns.
- Experience implementing agentic applications and tools applying evaluation approaches as part of the process
- Experience designing RESTful APIs and event driven Kafka-based applications
- Experience with mainstream relational databases, caching, replication, and search technologies.
- Experience developing and evaluating agentic applications.
- Experience with Google Cloud Platform or Amazon Web Services with container orchestration technologies.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to lead through technical guidance across multiple teams without formal authority.
- Excellent written and verbal communication with engineers, managers, and product partners.
