Top Must Have's:

• Strong experience with Java and frameworks such as Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Hibernate, and others.
• In-depth knowledge of RESTful APIs, message queues (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ), and event-driven architectures.
• Proven experience in designing and implementing microservices architectures, including domain-driven design (DDD), API management, and service orchestration.

• We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Java / Microservices Architect to join our dynamic team.
• In this role, you will be responsible for designing and implementing microservices-based architectures and ensuring the scalability, performance, and reliability of our applications.
• You will lead the technical direction of software development teams, utilizing Java and microservices technologies to deliver robust, maintainable, and high-performance solutions.
• Candidate will have extensive experience with Java, cloud-native technologies, microservices design, and system architecture best practices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and implementation of microservices-based architecture to ensure scalability, flexibility, and resilience in complex applications.
• Define and enforce microservices best practices, patterns, and standards to ensure the quality and consistency of services across multiple teams.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to refactor monolithic applications into microservices, ensuring a smooth migration to a distributed architecture.
• Develop high-level architectural designs for new features and applications, balancing performance, scalability, security, and maintainability.
• Lead the technical design process and work closely with development teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Provide architectural guidance on the implementation of enterprise-level applications using Java, microservices, and cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform).
• Provide leadership in the design and development of Java-based applications, focusing on best practices, code quality, and performance optimization.
• Advocate for the use of Java frameworks and tools (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Hibernate, etc.) and ensure their effective integration within the microservices ecosystem.
• Ensure the team is leveraging Java and associated technologies to their fullest potential, including the adoption of modern Java features and libraries.
• Design microservices with cloud-native principles in mind, utilizing containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud services to ensure scalable and resilient solutions.
• Collaborate with DevOps teams to enable continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, ensuring fast and reliable delivery of microservices.
• Help define strategies for service discovery, load balancing, and API gateway integration in cloud environments.
• Define strategies for performance monitoring, profiling, and tuning of microservices to ensure low-latency and high-throughput solutions.
• Establish robust security practices for service-to-service communication, authentication, and authorization in a distributed microservices architecture.
• Design for failure and ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery across services.
• Provide technical leadership, conduct code reviews, and guide teams in solving complex technical challenges.
• Facilitate knowledge sharing and the adoption of new technologies across the development teams.
• Work closely with product managers, business analysts, and other stakeholders to understand business requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
• Communicate architectural decisions, trade-offs, and risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders in a clear and understandable manner.
• Lead discussions and workshops on architectural choices, microservices principles, and technical roadmaps.
• Define and enforce coding standards, design principles, and development methodologies to ensure the production of high-quality software.

Skills:

• Strong experience with Java and frameworks such as Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Hibernate, and others.
• Proven experience in designing and implementing microservices architectures, including domain-driven design (DDD), API management, and service orchestration.
