Principal Architect

What You Bring

• 10+ years of software engineering and 4+ years in architecture roles on enterprise platforms.
• Deep Java and Spring Boot architecture experience, including REST services and distributed-system patterns.
• Strong understanding of Java EE application servers, Hibernate or JPA, and incremental modernization.
• Working knowledge of modern Angular architecture and frontend-backend contract design.
• Experience with containers, CI/CD, security, observability, and production reliability.
• Ability to communicate architecture through code, diagrams, decision records, and direct coaching.

What Sets You Apart

• You have led the architecture of a live Java EE to Spring Boot modernization without a big-bang rewrite.
• Your standards are specific enough to guide teams and flexible enough to handle real product constraints.
• You influence senior engineers through technical credibility rather than organizational authority.
