Technical Architect

Technical Architect Golang | Microservices | Cloud | Kubernetes

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Technical Architect with strong expertise in Golang, Microservices, REST APIs and Cloud-native architecture to lead the design and delivery of scalable, reliable and high-performance technology solutions.

In this role, you will work closely with client stakeholders and engineering teams to understand business, architectural and non-functional requirements and translate them into best-fit architecture and technical solutions. You will assess and recommend appropriate technologies, platforms and frameworks while ensuring that solutions meet requirements around performance, scalability, reliability, availability, maintainability and security.

The role requires a strong combination of architecture and hands-on engineering knowledge. You will contribute to the design and development of Golang-based services, database architectures and API-driven microservices while providing technical direction to engineering teams. You will also support solution estimation, technical decision-making, production troubleshooting and continuous improvement throughout the software development lifecycle.

You will work in a modern engineering environment involving Golang, Google Spanner, REST APIs, Microservices, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD and cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure and GCP. Experience with event-driven architectures using Kafka or Pub/Sub, Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, and monitoring platforms such as DataDog or NewRelic will be advantageous.

An important aspect of the role is adopting modern development practices, including the use of LLMs and agentic workflows within the SDLC, while continuing to maintain strong engineering, QA, documentation and Agile/Scrum practices.

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of overall technology experience
• 5+ years of experience in architecture design and solutioning
• Strong experience in Golang/backend engineering
• Strong understanding of Microservices and REST API architecture

• Experience building CI/CD pipelines
• Strong understanding of SDLC and Agile/Scrum
• Understanding of LLMs and agentic workflows
• Ability to lead technical teams and provide architectural and technical direction
• Strong stakeholder communication and problem-solving capabilities
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field

Good to Have

• Java or Python experience
• Kafka / Pub-Sub and event-driven architecture
• Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
• DataDog or NewRelic
• API security and integration best practices
• Additional hands-on GCP/AWS exposure
