Why we're hiring:

A Solutions Architect designs end-to-end technical solutions that align business goals with scalable, secure, and maintainable architectures.

What you'll be doing:

- Demonstrate strong Java proficiency to design, prototype, and review core services and integrations.
- Architect and guide the development of large-scale enterprise applications, ensuring reliability, performance, and maintainability.
- Partner with product and engineering teams to translate business requirements into solution architectures, technical specifications, and implementation plans.
- Define and evangelize architecture standards, patterns, and best practices (e.g., layered architectures, microservices where appropriate, API-first design).
- Design integration approaches across systems, including RESTful APIs, messaging/event-driven patterns, and data synchronization.
- Evaluate and recommend technology choices, frameworks, and third-party components; perform trade-off analyses and document decisions.
- Ensure non-functional requirements are met, including security, scalability, observability (logging/metrics/tracing), resilience, and disaster recovery.
- Collaborate with DevOps/SRE to support CI/CD pipelines, deployment architecture, and operational readiness.
- Lead architecture and design reviews, mentor engineers, and provide technical guidance through delivery and post-release support.
- Identify technical risks and dependencies early; propose mitigation plans and drive resolution with stakeholders.

What you'll need:

- Strong proficiency in Java and the JVM ecosystem (e.g., Spring/Spring Boot), including performance tuning and troubleshooting.
- Demonstrated experience developing and supporting large enterprise applications with high availability and complex integrations.
- Experience producing architecture artifacts (solution diagrams, interface contracts, sequence diagrams, and design documentation).
- Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts (e.g., concurrency, caching, eventual consistency, resiliency patterns).
- Experience with relational databases and SQL; ability to model data and optimize queries.
- Knowledge of document-based (NoSQL) databases (e.g., MongoDB, Couchbase) including data modeling and query patterns.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Write clean, well-documented, and tested code.
- Take features from start to finish, including testing, with empathy for the end-user experience.
- Participate in a constructive and inclusive culture of peer code reviews.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience with cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP) and cloud-native architectures.
- Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Familiarity with messaging and event-driven design.
- Experience with identity and access management, application security, and threat modeling.
- Experience with observability tooling and practices (APM, centralized logging, distributed tracing).
- Experience with the Office 365 ecosystem.
- Experience with Okta and/or other single sign-on (SSO) identity providers.
