Software Architect

Tasks

• Responsibilities:

Evolve the overall system architecture for our MEAN-stack-based application (MongoDB, Express.js, Angular, Node.js).

• Design and guide scalable, secure, and high-availability cloud solutions using AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, CloudFront, etc.).
• Define and improve DevOps processes, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CDK), monitoring, and observability (Datadog/Grafana).
• Define the high-level roadmap for system evolution, including new technology adoption and legacy system transformation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on product development, scalability, and new feature architecture.
• Evaluate and integrate third-party tools and services to boost system performance, observability, or cost-efficiency.
• Conduct technical reviews, enforce coding best practices, and mentor engineers on architectural thinking.
• Actively contribute to long-term technical strategy, documentation, and standards.
• Participate in planning and work closely with the product to ensure architectural alignment with business goals.
• Identify gaps between current and desired states and propose architectural solutions to bridge those gaps.
• Contribute to the organization’s long-term technical strategy, focusing on digital transformation and technology modernization.

Requirements

• Requirements:

5+ years of hands-on backend development experience, preferably with Node.js (Express/NestJS) and MongoDB.

• 2+ years of experience working as a Software Architect
• Strong cloud architecture experience with AWS (must-have).
• Deep understanding of system architecture patterns (e.g., microservices, monolithic, serverless, event-driven).
• Deep knowledge and practical experience with DevOps: CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab, or similar), containerization (Docker), IaC (Terraform/CDK), and observability.
• Proven track record in designing and scaling high-load distributed systems. Expertise in identifying and mitigating scalability, reliability, and performance bottlenecks.
• Experience with RESTful API design, system integration, security, and performance optimization.
• Understanding of front-end architecture (Angular preferred) and ability to coordinate with front-end engineers.
• Clear communication and documentation skills. Ability to simplify complex concepts for product and business stakeholders.
• Self-starter with a product-first mindset and ability to work in a fast-changing startup environment.
