Join our Team

• About this opportunity: Join our dynamic team at Ericsson as a

Software Architect. In this pivotal role, you will be tasked with analyzing, designing, and developing commercially viable technical solutions, while owning end-to-end solution architecture across backend services, APIs, and cloud-native platforms. This role is primarily backend-focused (Java, Spring Boot, microservices, REST) with full-stack exposure (JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks) considered a strong plus for end-to-end delivery and collaboration.

What you will do:

• Lead solution design — analyze business requirements, define system architecture, produce HLD/LLD artifacts, and establish technical blueprints that guide delivery teams across features and programs.
• Define and govern architecture standards — establish patterns for service boundaries, API contracts, data flows, and integration touchpoints; ensure consistency across microservices landscape.
• Design & develop REST APIs using Java and Spring Boot — ensuring security, backward compatibility, and strong API contracts.
• Architect microservices applying patterns around resiliency, observability, and secure service-to-service communication.
• Implement robust OOP principles, clean code practices, and maintainable design patterns.
• Optimize for performance — leverage multithreading and concurrency to tune services for production-grade throughput and latency.
• Ensure quality through high-coverage unit testing (JUnit), peer code reviews, and thorough documentation.
• Containerize and deploy applications using Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm following cloud-native best practices.
• Collaborate via Git/GitLab and contribute to CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, reliable delivery.
• Work in Agile teams — partner with Product, QA, and engineering peers to own delivery from design through production support.
• Contribute to event-driven integrations with Apache Kafka / Confluent Kafka where applicable.
• Support front-end needs when required, contributing to Angular (preferred) or React-based UIs for end-to-end delivery.

The skills you bring: Must-Have:
