Role : Architect

Location : Onsite at locations (Chicago Dallas or New York)

The Role : Digital API team is looking for a hands-on Architect with deep expertise to design and deliver domain-driven microservices for customer-facing digital experiences. Youll own greenfield builds from zero-to-production lead engineers by example (coding 70% of the time) and drive cross-team triage while keeping leadership proactively informed.

What Youll Do

Design & build domain-driven event-aware microservices in (Express / Fastify / NestJS) with clean testable code.
Architect greenfield systems : service boundaries data models REST APIs event streams CI / CD observability and runtime topology.
Set API standards : versioning OpenAPI / Swagger pagination error contracts resiliency patterns (timeouts retries circuit breakers).
Own production readiness : SLOs dashboards alerting runbooks; lead incident triage / bridge calls and drive blameless RCAs.
Collaborate across teams (web mobile data security ops) to unblock work sequence dependencies and land integrated releases.
Communicate proactively with leadership : crisp status risk / mitigation dependencies and measurable outcomes.
Raise the bar : code reviews engineering best practices mentoring pair programming tech talks and documentation.
Think two steps ahead : anticipate edge cases scaling operability and cost; recommend pragmatic sequencing and trade-offs.

Tech Stack Youll Work With

Languages / Frameworks : TypeScript Express / Fastify / NestJS

APIs : REST OpenAPI / Swagger OAuth2 / OIDC JWT

Data : PostgreSQL / MySQL NoSQL (MongoDB / DynamoDB) Redis cache

Messaging / Streaming : Kafka / RabbitMQ (sagas outbox idempotency)

Cloud & Platform : One major cloud (AWS / Azure / Google Cloud Platform) Docker Kubernetes API Gateway / Ingress IaC (Terraform / CloudFormation)

CI / CD & Observability : GitHub Actions / Jenkins ELK / Dynatrace feature flags OpenTelemetry Datadog / New Relic / Prometheus log aggregation

What Youll Bring

8 years backend engineering (or equivalent impact) 3 years technical leadership on product teams.

Expert-level with proven delivery of domain-driven microservices at scale.

Strong grasp of DDD (entities / aggregates / bounded contexts) event-driven architectures and microservice patterns (saga outbox circuit breaker).

Designed secure resilient public APIs used by web / mobile clients; deep understanding of authN / authZ (OAuth2 / OIDC) secrets and TLS.

Production experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native deployment CI / CD and observability (metrics traces logs SLOs).

Demonstrated success leading triage / incident response and driving RCAs to lasting improvements.

Outstanding communication able to simplify complex trade-offs tell a delivery story and keep partners aligned.

Bias for action : you go the extra mile anticipate the next two steps and ship high-quality software.

Nice to Have

Experience in telecom (ordering provisioning billing identity) or large consumer digital platforms.

API gateways (Apigee / Kong) rate limiting / quotas multi-tenant patterns.

Performance tuning capacity planning and cost optimization in cloud environments.
