Solution Architect

We are looking for a Solution Architect  who will drive the end-to-end design of our Core Services platform and its integrations with existing and upcoming products. 

You will convert business goals into scalable, secure, and operationally efficient architectures for a modular microservices ecosystem deployed in a multi-cloud, multi-ledger environment. Collaboration will span across product, engineering leadership, DevOps/SRE, and commercial teams to reduce delivery risks and accelerate outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Platform & Solution Architecture

• Define target architecture, service contracts, data flows, and NFRs across core and product teams.
• Create ADRs, reference solutions, API/event standards, and reusable design assets.
• Guide initiatives through discovery, technical design, implementation, and deployment.

Technical Governance & Enablement

• Promote API-first design, horizontal scalability, and multi-tenant architectures.
• Work closely with DevOps/SRE to ensure smooth CI/CD, observability, deployment readiness.
• Lead balanced decision-making around cost, performance, and operational trade-offs.

Security, Compliance & Reliability

• Apply security-by-design principles (mTLS/service mesh, secrets management, HSM/KMS/Vault).
• Define and implement resilience strategies (active-active, failover, DR plans with RPO/RTO).
• Ensure alignment with ISO/IEC standards and GDPR in partnership with Security & Compliance teams.

Cross-Team Collaboration

• Partner with Product Owners to translate goals into well-defined epics and user stories.
• Coordinate dependencies between core services and product squads, removing blockers.
• Run design reviews, provide architectural direction, and deliver stakeholder communication.

Platform Roadmap & Standards

• Maintain architectural roadmap and drive modernization by retiring legacy approaches.
• Develop reusable documentation, templates, and starter kits for internal engineering teams.

Partner & Customer Enablement

• Support solution design for strategic integrations while maintaining platform guardrails.
• Define scalable onboarding patterns for SDKs, APIs, and external developer experiences.

Core Technical Domains

• Cloud-native infrastructure (Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, GitOps/ArgoCD, Vault/HSM)
• Identity, access, and trust frameworks (SSO/RBAC, OIDC/OAuth2, signing services, DID/VC)
• Platform services (API Gateway, policies, rate-limiting, security enforcement)
• Event-driven systems (REST/gRPC, idempotency, NATS JetStream / Kafka)
• Observability (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Loki, alerting/runbooks)
• Multi-region availability (routing, failover, DR testing)
• Data platforms (PostgreSQL/distributed SQL, S3/object storage, Redis)
• Web3-related (tokenization, wallets, fee engines, multi-ledger adapters: BSV/EVM/etc.)

Must-Have

• 6+ years leading architecture and solution design in complex SaaS/PaaS environments.
• Strong hands-on experience with cloud-native microservices, APIs (REST/gRPC), and messaging.
• Proven delivery of secure, resilient, multi-region systems at scale.
• Solid knowledge of CI/CD, IaC, operational excellence (SLIs/SLOs).
• Ability to communicate architectural decisions clearly to both technical and business stakeholders.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration experience (Product, DevOps/SRE, Security, PMO).

Nice-to-Have

• Background in digital identity, cryptography, or blockchain integrations.
• Experience in regulated industries (fintech, govtech, healthtech).
• Understanding of cost modelling, multi-tenant billing and platform commercialization.
• Working knowledge of Go or Java for prototyping.

• Cloud/security/agile certifications.
