We are looking for…

We are looking for an experienced and proactive System Architect to join our client’s engineering division. In this role, you will play a pivotal part in designing scalable, secure, and efficient end-to-end solution architectures. You will also get your hands dirty, providing key technical contributions to optimize and scale the container platform utilized across multiple development teams.

About the role

As a System Architect, you are responsible for designing, documenting, and maintaining end-to-end solution architectures, while providing hands-on technical contributions to the container platform. You will serve as the bridge between strategic architectural design and practical, hands-on implementation, ensuring that the infrastructure remains robust and future-proof.

You will:

• Design, document, and maintain comprehensive, end-to-end solution architectures.
• Work hands-on with the container platform to implement, optimize, and resolve technical bottlenecks.
• Align initial system designs with project timelines and drive quarterly design reviews.
• Contribute to monthly sprint cycles, introducing continuous enhancements to the container platform.

Responsibilities

• Establish and enforce scalable, secure, and efficient system designs.
• Strengthen the technical foundation of the container platform to support cross-functional teams.
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to leverage and mature existing architectural standards.
• Utilize container technologies (such as Kubernetes and Docker) to continuously improve overall platform and solution quality.

Who are you?

Experience

• Solid experience in Architecture (Technical solutioning) for complex environments.
• Strong hands-on technical experience with Kubernetes and Docker (or equivalent container technologies).
• Familiarity with Azure (any additional cloud experience is highly valued).
• Strong background in Advanced networking concepts.

Profile

• An analytical problem-solver who can maintain a high-level view without losing sight of hands-on, low-level technical execution.
• A collaborative coach who enjoys aligning engineering teams with architectural best practices.
• An advocate for modern DevOps and containerization practices, continuously seeking ways to optimize systems.
